Having gone thru the source code, I figured out that this init param will only work with DefaultServlet. I wish we could have something similar to apache's per-directory disable/enable.

Hi Bob, In version 4.x Tomcat look for the file <TOMCAT_HOME>/conf/web.xml This file sets all the default web application settings. Look for the tag sequence: - <param-name>listings</param-name> And change the <param-value> tag below it from 'true' (the default setting) to false. Hope that helps.

How can I prevent a client from listing the contents of my web appl. directories without having to put an 'index.html' in the base of each directory? Thanks. Bob. P.s.: I can find any solution(s) in the Tomcat-user archive: --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
