Hello Sebastian,

Mal 'ne ganz dumme Frage.

Could it be that you have set a system or environment/shell variable that
interferes with what you attempt in web.xml or the java JVM start?

Second issue: I'm not sure about the syntax but I would try to achieve that
with Apache allowing only for the http://yourserver/geoserver/wms and not
the  http://yourserver/geoserver/web calls. 

That would have the advantage that you can test your stuff on an identical
instance, where you actually can change things and then exchange the data
directory as a whole, if configuration changes. If you disable Geoserver
functions you need three instances, one where you change and test, one with
disabled functions to test again and one as a production instance.

Cheers

Christian

 
P.S. Doesn't quite translate into - Just a completely naive question
