Hi, I have developed an application in jsp using Apache Tomcat 4.0. Application default page is a jsp page and not a index.html. but when user access the site, it displays list of files present in that folder. In simple words, how to disable directory and files listing for the end user using Apache- Tomcat 4.0 Thanks

just put ur login.jsp in gdc folder. write followinf entry in web.xml <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>login.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> then type URL http://127.0.0.1/gdc and see what happened. I've had tested this thing already on tomcat. and if after that it doesn't work then u just contact me on gautam_shah_29@yahoo.com . i am online there . i will show u on my static machiene.

In Web.xml, set the listing attribute to false to disable the directory browsing. <init-param> <param-name>listings</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value> </init-param> Hope this helps... Regards jagan

Sorry, Ignore my prev reply. For Tomcat change the listings attribute of the StaticInterceptor to false in Server.xml Ex: <StaticInterceptor listings="false" /> Regards jagan
