Change the base path of the blazegraph service

[huikang]

Is there a way to change the base path of the blazegraph service? For example, instead of using http://localhost:9999/blazegraph/, I'd like to configure the URL like http://localhost:9999/new-blazegraph-base-path/. Thanks.

You can put it behind a reverse proxy configuration or edit the jetty.xml file to deploy the existing war to a different location.

@beebs-systap , regarding the second approach, could you please provide any exemplar file and the command to start the service? Thanks.

Sure, here's how to specify the override. If you are using the war file only, you can just rename it to the path you'd like.

Cool. I am new to Jetty; which value shall I override in the configuration file (web.xml)?

Hello, would it please be possible to have any update on this? I have tried for example the below XML, but it doesn't seem to work:

• Adding -Djetty.overrideWebXml=/var/lib/blazegraph/override-web.xml as a startup option
• Having the following content in the override-web.xml file:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd"
   version="3.1">
  <Configure id="WebAppContext" class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
  <Set name="contextPath">/my-path</Set>
  </Configure>
  

I see the contextPath is set here: https://github.com/blazegraph/database/blob/3127706f0b6504838daae226b9158840d2df1744/blazegraph-jar/src/main/resources/jetty.xml#L255

But the contextPath is not present in the web.xml. Sorry for bumping a 1 year old issue, any advice is much appreciated.
