deny tomcat directory listings

Hi,

running a standalone version of tomcat for an internal app - no apache
involved. I've been searching for a way to disable directory listings, but
so far have come up empty on Google and the Jakarta pages.

I did see a reference on google to modify servers.xml and change an entry
for RequestInterceptor or some such -- but I have no such entry.

Any ideas, links or pointers? Thanks!

Jef, in your main web.xml file there is a an option to turn off directory
listing. I believe it's defaulted to true which I don't understand, but
once you set it to false, you should be good to go.

Bingo! There it was, indeed. Thanks a bunch. I don't know why they don't
cover some of this stuff in the docs... If these XML files were a tad
easier to read, I wouldn't have had to bug anyone about it :)

Thanks again Larry.
