How to avoid directory listing in JBoss?

You can disable this through the web.xml file present in %JBOSS_HOME%/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcatXX.sar/conf folder. By default, the value for the 'listings' init-param is true. You will have to change it to false as follows:

<servlet>
      <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
      <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>
      <init-param>
         <param-name>debug</param-name>
         <param-value>0</param-value>
      </init-param>
[B]      <init-param>
         <param-name>listings</param-name>
         <param-value>false</param-value>
      </init-param>
[/B]      <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
   </servlet>

How should I give forbidden message when user tries to access unrelated files?

What does an unrelated file mean?
