Yep your right but anyhow I managed to solve the problem useing
errorpages...
if interested here is the solution...:
I suppressed folder browseing and I made the error page to check
the URI and if it has the needed patern (OneApp) I make a forward to
oneappindex if it has the SecondApp patern I forward to secondappindex
and so on... :-)
Thanks a lot
By the way I used your idea in a another problem (so dont thing you were
not apricieted :-) )

Subject: RE: Index files and CGI UNDER TOMCAT
if you leave the * out of the URL pattern you'll only get directories,
not
files in them, does that help?
or try /OneApp/*/
I don't know how hot pattern matching is in the config parser, but I'd
expect that to match anything ending with / even things with / in them,
which is therefore any directory but no file...
/OneApp/*/ should match ..
/OneApp/subdir/
and
/OneApp/subdir/subsubdir/
not
/OneApp/subdir/file.xyz
It would be cool if you could use regex in URL pattern..
