How to disable directory browsing

[ekimregurk]

I can access my application via http://localhost/application/login.do

If I type http://localhost/applications/ I can view and browse all directories.

How can I turn the directory browsing feature off?


I searched for this topic and can't believe I didn't find anything in the forum or on google. I must really be missing some innate knowledge about JBoss, and Tomcat.

I figured it out myself. Luckily I had done it before with Tomcat and the struggle finally came back to me.

In the conf/web.xml file you set listings to false. For example


<init-param>
<param-name>listings</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>

That will disable directory browsing. I found the answer on the Java Sun forum as well, here is a link:
