There is usually Default Application is deployed with such a context-root. - Create New Web Application targeting WebSphere - Run the Application - The output log will show something like that: ADMA5013I: Application j88_10d7d6a96ee_8 installed successfully. ADMJ1018I: j88_10d7d6a96ee_8 is running. ADMJ1011I: The current start operation succeeded on all modules: j88_10d7d6a96ee_8 - server1. - But this message is incorrect, cause start failed.
