Changing the Host Name and Context Path of SP Web Applications

WSO2 SP has different profiles for different purposes. When you start these profiles in the terminal, the URLs of different web applications appear in the start up logs. These URLs contain the IP address in which the web application is run, as well as the default name of the web UI application.

e.g., If you start Stream Processor Studio, the following appears in the start up logs:

You can change this URL to display a host name instead of the IP address and/or to display a different name for the web UI application. To do this, follow the topics below:

Changing the IP address to a host name

To change the IP address displayed in the URL to a host name:

1.  Open the <SP_HOME>/CONF/<PROFILE>/deployment.yaml file. In this example, let's make this change in the <SP_HOME>/CONF/editor/deployment.yaml file.

2. In the wso2.transport.http: → listenerConfigurations: section, change the value for the host parameter to the required hostname (e.g., stream-processor).

   Note that in this example, you are specifying a host name for the http URLs. If the web UI application you are accessing has an https URL, you need to make this change for the listener configuration with the https scheme.

   wso2.transport.http:

listenerConfigurations:
- id: "default"
 host: "stream-processor"
 port: 9091

Once you start the Editor profile after making this change, http URLs displayed in the start up log for the Stream Processor Studio display streaming-integrator as the host name instead of the IP address. e.g., the URL for the Stream Processor Studio is displayed as follows.

Changing the name of web UI application

To change the name of the web UI application that appears in its URL, add a section as follows in the <SP_HOME>/CONF/<PROFILE>/deployment.yaml file. In this example, let's make this change in the <SP_HOME>/CONF/editor/deployment.yaml file.

Here, the context path for the editor webUI application is specified as tooling. Therefore, when you start the Editor profile, the URL  for the Stream Processor Studio appears as follows.
