Instead, put everything you need in your webapp's META-INF/context.xml file. Remember that "path" and "docBase" parameters are not allowed. Also, has no effect whatsoever on your configuration. You can remove it. Given that, you don't even need a META-INF/context.xml since there's nothing to add to the default. > /path_to_some_dir/WEB-INF/web.xml > > > > > test > > org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet > > listings > true > > 1 > > > test > / > > The above changes to WEB-INF/web.xml are all you need. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuG3p8ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDx2gCguuCNrDrO4sy2HChs99FKotYZ VlkAnAsk0dyM1Kv8ckFuHxiSxW2MH3TT =csil -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Re: listing directory content outside tomcat root
thanks!!! this should be the solution (and one more little question at the end of code): conf/web.xml default org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet listings false conf/server.xml . .. /path_to_some_dir/WEB-INF/web.xml test org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet listings true 1 test / is org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet the right solution? thanks, ivan On Thu, Feb 25, 2010 at 1:19 PM, Tim Funk wrote: > Enable listings is "sort of"** a global setting. > > Since the default servlet is declared in conf/web.xml - its inherited in > *every* webapp. So its config is also inherited.

Re: listing directory content outside tomcat root
Enable listings is "sort of"** a global setting. Since the default servlet is declared in conf/web.xml - its inherited in *every* webapp. So its config is also inherited. (Bummer) BUT - if you add a WEB-INF/web.xml to EVERY webapp with the default servlet settings - then you can remove the default servlet config from conf/web.xml and have the default servlet per webapp config. That means - in docBase="/path_to_some_dir/" --> you need /path_to_some_dir/WEB-INF/web.xml What I forget is - what happens if you only create /path_to_some_dir/WEB-INF/web.xml and leave conf/web.xml alone. Which of course would be the easiest thing to do. -Tim On 2/25/2010 6:22 AM, Ivan Longhi wrote: hi, I would like to list the content of a directory outside tomcat root without enabling the listings parameter in default servlet. conf/web.xml default org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet listings false conf/server.xml . .. if I try to get a file inside the dir it works ( http://localhost:8080/test/some_file.txt ) but if I try to list the content of the directory ( http://localhost:8080/test/ ) I get 404. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
