where is the value for webAppRootKey value

[bambulyator]

So I assume the entry below is how Broadleaf resolves the home page for the site app. I just can't find where the value (site.root) is being mapped to an actual page. Is it somehow being mapped from db mappings?

<context-param>
<param-name>webAppRootKey</param-name>
<param-value>site.root</param-value>
</context-param>

Any help is appreciated.

No this is definitely not the case.

The home page is loaded from the 'Home' category. You can look at load_catalog_data.sql and see where the home category is insterted with the URL set to '/'.

This is picked up by the handler mappings (CategoryHandlerMapping specifically in this case, but there is also PageHandlerMapping and ProductHandlerMapipng) defined in applicationContext-servlet.xml.

Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction. I think it's clear. now I just need to add a sub-category and see how it's being handled. Thanks for the help again.
