How to disable welcome page on JBoss EAP 7 Domain Cluster

Question

I am new to working with JBoss and I'm working on setting up a cluster to test with. I followed the directions from middleware to setup a JBoss Domain cluster on a single Linux VM using JBoss EAP 7.1.6. I am now trying to deploy a web application to my cluster using the admin console to test that the cluster is working.

I have created a simple hello world web app using liweinan's cluster demo source code that should display the current time. I tested the app and it displays correctly on a standalone cluster, but when I test my domain cluster I am seeing the page telling me that I need to disable the welcome content. What am I doing wrong? Is there something that also needs to be configured on the slaves?

Here is my jboss-web.xml in my application war:

<jboss-web>
    <context-root>/</context-root>
</jboss-web>

In the host-master.xml the domain controller is:

    <domain-controller>
            <local/>
    </domain-controller>

In the domain.xml file I have updated the interfaces to match the address of my machine. I also commented out the welcome content in the undertow.

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:undertow:4.0">
    <buffer-cache name="default"/>
    <server name="default-server">
        <ajp-listener name="ajp" socket-binding="ajp"/>
        <http-listener name="default" socket-binding="http" redirect-socket="https" enable-http2="true"/>
        <https-listener name="https" socket-binding="https" security-realm="ApplicationRealm" enable-http2="true"/>
        <host name="default-host" alias="localhost">
            <!--<location name="/" handler="welcome-content"/>-->
            <filter-ref name="server-header"/>
            <filter-ref name="x-powered-by-header"/>
            <http-invoker security-realm="ApplicationRealm"/>
        </host>
    </server>
    <servlet-container name="default">
        <jsp-config/>
        <websockets/>
    </servlet-container>
    <handlers>
        <!--<file name="welcome-content" path="${jboss.home.dir}/welcome-content"/>-->
    </handlers>
    <filters>
        <response-header name="server-header" header-name="Server" header-value="JBoss-EAP/7"/>
        <response-header name="x-powered-by-header" header-name="X-Powered-By" header-value="Undertow/1"/>
    </filters>
</subsystem>

In both of the host-slave.xml files I have updated the socket interface management port, the interface inet-address, and added an offset for the servers.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've been researching this for days without success.

It turns out the issue wasn't with my configuration. When you deploy the application you can't change the name. I was changing it from ClusterDemo.war to ClusterDemo. When I left the .war on the name, the app ran with no issues.
