SC, Look at the web.xml file in your Apache Tomcat 4.0 conf directory. The 'listings' init-param of the default servlet entry controls whether directory listing is allowed. The welcome-file-list parameter entry controls what files are used as welcome files.
<welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> There's also documentation in the web.xml file itself.
