I have an app that I am looking to deploy to a weblogic server. Without adjsuting the context root it is accessible via http://{IP}:{port}/{war fileName}. I am looking to adjust the context root so that I can keep the version number in the name of my war file so it is immeadiately obvious which version is being used, yet accessible via http://{IP}:{port}/{appName}

I have tried setting app.context=/{appName} within application.properties, and setting grails.app.context = "/{appName}" within Config.groovy as other answers have suggested, although neither of these seem to have any effect:

How to deploy a grails app with a different context path

How to deploy Grails app without context path?

I have tried this running locally, running on a tomcat server, and on a weblogic server - and it only seems to make a difference when running locally (yes, it's within the production environment settings, not just development).

I have also tried adding a weblogic.xml file within the WEB-INF directory, with the contents:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
 <weblogic-web-app xmlns="http://www.bea.com/ns/weblogic/90">
     <context-root>/YOUR_CONTEXT_ROOT</context-root>
 </weblogic-web-app>

This does have the desired effect when on the weblogic server, but I was trying to avoid having files specific to weblogic incase it's ever deployed to a different server.

Am I missing something? Are there any other changes that are need to be made to get the settings within application.properties, or Config.groovy to be used?

Here is an example that works for me. Grails 3.0.9. Tomcat 8. In application.yml file. I have Staging server configured like this. 

staging:
    localdir:
        dataDir: 'C:\\java\\data\\'
    grails.serverURL: 'http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/myappname'
    server:
        port: 8080
        contextPath: '/myappname'

Then in bootstrap i use it like this

grailsApplication.config.salesreplocator.dataDir
