      Either
      A) don't deploy a / or smaller path
      B) Use ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse in Apache to map / to a difference context in JBoss/mod_cluster but don't actually use / in JBoss.

      A server configured for failover with an application deployed in a subdirectory such as <code>/webapp</code>, and another application deployed in <code>/</code>, occasionally caused an error. This was because the failed-over application tried to deploy in <code>/</code> instead of <code>/webapp</code>. This situation has been fixed, and failover now occurs as expected.

      Description

      Let's say for example that /webapp and / is mapped in mod_cluster and there are two JBoss instances. If in one JBoss instance you undeploy the /webapp, you would expect mod_cluster to failover to the other JBoss instance.

      However, this is not the case, mod_cluster will instead select the lesser context, the root context / and service the request from /webapp on the / context.

      The logic only tests for ENABLE and DISABLE the STOP is not tested.

      The failover of a context will only work currently if / or any smaller path is not deployed
