RHQ not at the context root

[Steve Millidge]

By default RHQ runs under Root context in the servlet container - my
customer would like to change this.

When I update the application.xml  configured <context-root>/</context-root>
to something else in the configuration I discover that there are lots of
hard coded paths in the user interface, links are broken & static content is
absent.

Has anyone successfully configured RHQ to run under a different context?

The RHQ Server was/is meant to be deployed as a "black box" application. 
It doesn't surprise me that there are some hardcoded URL fragments, 
since there are no settings within RHQ that are supported/documented 
that are meant to be tweeked to change the root context.

I have heard of one or two others that want to do this, but I don't know 
of anyone that actually completely got it to work.

What is the use case for this?

If you'd like, write up a bugzilla issue to document this enhancement 
request. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=RHQ%20Project

I'm not sure how easy or hard it would be to implement a feature like 
this, but I do know at least one or two others have asked for this.

I'm slightly indirect on this but I believe the use case is hosting both RHQ
access and access to the business application behind Apache using mod-jk
therefore they need something like;

JkMount /rhq  rhqworker 
JkMount /businessapp businessappworker

. I'll need to get more details from the customer to understand the detail
of the use case.

yeah, that makes sense and I'm pretty sure that was the same kind of use 
case the last time someone asked for this.
