Why cannot I change the root context to "/" in my JBoss AS?

I have a maven project for my java enterprise application that is deployed on a JBoss 7.1 server.

In my EAR module I have this pom.xml

<plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <finalName>myproject</finalName>
                    <modules>
                        <webModule>
                            <groupId>myproject</groupId>
                            <artifactId>myproject-webservice</artifactId>
                            <contextRoot>/</contextRoot>
                            <unpack>false</unpack>
                        </webModule>
                        <ejbModule>
                            <groupId>myproject</groupId>
                            <artifactId>myproject-ejb</artifactId>
                        </ejbModule>
                    </modules>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

I would like to set the root context to / so I can go to http://127.0.0.1:8080. But JBoss won´t deploy if the root context is / saying:

08:00:54,251 INFO  [org.jboss.as.controller] (management-handler-thread - 36) JBAS014774: Service status report
JBAS014777:   Services which failed to start:      service jboss.web.deployment.default-host./: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.web.deployment.default-host./: Failed to start service

But if the root context is something else than /, like <contextRoot>/myproject</contextRoot>, it works (but then I have to go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/myproject ).

What is wrong with my configuration?

I found the answer here: https://community.jboss.org/thread/198890

It stands:
AS7 comes with a default application deployed to / context. When you hit localhost:8080, you'll be shown a page which has a message which says:

To replace this page set "enable-welcome-root" to false in your server configuration and deploy your own war with / as its context path.

I just changed the standalone.xml and that was the solution! :-D
