In case I didn't make it clear before, the idea is to create a copy of the default servlet specifically for your webapp. This renamed copy will allow access to and listings of the directory specified in its <url-pattern>, and nothing else. The normal default servlet would continue to supply static content for all other paths, without exposing their directory structure. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
