stopping the application from displaying index.jsp

[nikil shar]

hi all,
i have a web application "http://localhost:8280/testApp/createStar/....." .

When i enter "http://localhost:8280/testApp/" in the browser, it display the index.jsp. If i remove any reference to index.jsp file from web.xml it starts listing directories on the browser.

How do i make the server return an "Error" when i enter "http://localhost:8280/testApp/"


App server is Glassfish V3 Prelude


thanks in advance.

Don't include an index.jsp, and turn off directory browsing.

That will be a Glassfish-specific setting. You'll need to read the docs.

In Tomcat it's an init-param to the default servlet.
