You can set this option in the web.xml file present at: %JBOSS_HOME%/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat41.sar/META-INF directory.

In this web.xml you will find something like:

<!-- ================== Built In Servlet Definitions ==================== -->


 <!-- The default servlet for all web applications, that serves static -->
 <!-- resources. It processes all requests that are not mapped to other -->
 <!-- servlets with servlet mappings (defined either here or in your own -->
 <!-- web.xml file. This servlet supports the following initialization -->
 <!-- parameters (default values are in square brackets): -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- debug Debugging detail level for messages logged -->
 <!-- by this servlet. [0] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- input Input buffer size (in bytes) when reading -->
 <!-- resources to be served. [2048] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- listings Should directory listings be produced if there -->
 <!-- is no welcome file in this directory? [true] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- output Output buffer size (in bytes) when writing -->
 <!-- resources to be served. [2048] -->
 <!-- -->
 <!-- readonly Is this context "read only", so HTTP -->
 <!-- commands like PUT and DELETE are -->
 <!-- rejected? [true] -->

 <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>true</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
 </servlet>

You will have to change the 'listings' init param value to false:

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

Set the servlet param listings to false in this file:

$JBOSS_HOME/server/<your_conf>/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/conf/web.xml

setting to change:

<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>
