stop directory listing

[aanand]

Hi,
Iam using jboss 3.2.3/Apache Tomcat/4.0.6
How do I disable directory listing for example when I enter this URL I can all contents under the directory ..

http://localhost:8888/test

Where is the tomcat conf file. I know this is doable in Apache but how to do this in Jboss/Tomcat environment.

Thanks.

Check out the web.xml file in your deploy/jbossweb-tomcat41.sar dir (Or similar depending on your version of JBoss). Look for "listings". I think this is documented pretty well in that file.

I hope that helps.

Thanks James.
I did find 'listings' in the web.xml changed the value to false. Somehow still I can see the directory listing.
Is there anything else do I need to change ?
FYI .. I am using Jboss-3.2.3 on WinXP.
Thanks.

I just tested this on jboss-3.2.3 on Linux. It appears to work correctly, but only after a JBoss restart. Here is a snippet from my jbossweb-tomcat41.sar/web.xml file:

 <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>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>listings</param-name>
 <param-value>false</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
 </servlet>

Thanks. It works on Linux but not on WinXP, I have to figure out how to stop on XP though.
