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.


David Legg

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:
