Eclipse Rename bug

If you try to rename your Servlet class name by right click and Refactor/Rename will affect the constructor of your class name but it will not affect web.xml which is located in WEB-INF as default option. And throws error  Class not found: Make sure while renaming select option "Update fully qualified names in non-Java text files".

Changing Context Path of Servlet to run on Jboss server

I had my app "Myapp" running on local host. With normal connection my path to would be

http://localhost:8080/Myapp Now I need to change my Url to change to http://localhost:8080/somepath/Myapp

So I surfed for a while on web and came up with solution on Change context Path

Along with web.xml in WEB-INF folder we need to add  jboss-web.xml in WEB-INF folder to change the path
