Deploying WAR on Amazons Elastic Beanstalk

Question

I have created a simple "HelloWorld" servlet in an Eclipse project. I built it into a WAR, deployed it in my Tomcat 7.0 local server and a simple request localhost/HelloWorld/sayhello prints "HELLO" No rocket science there. So following AWS documentation on how to deploy a WAR I go to Beanstalk management console and see the message "You do not have any AWS Elastic Beanstalk applications launched" so I click on Tomcat 7 -> start, and upload my WAR. After the upload completes and AWS tells me it is now running I click on "view running version" and it opens the link default-environment-zhqv8mwsqw.elasticbeanstalk.com I then tried default-environment-zhqv8mwsqw.elasticbeanstalk.com/HelloWorld/sayhello but I get a 404. Have I missed something or is there anything I can check? How do I explicitly tell AWS to use a 32 Bit JVM?

Answer 1

It should be default-environment-zhqv8mwsqw.elasticbeanstalk.com I then tried default-environment-zhqv8mwsqw.elasticbeanstalk.com/sayhello

On your local you use context path in url but in EBS it deployed at root. so need to put context.
