How to stop directory viewing

[Shaun Appleton]

I can deploy my application using Tomcat/Jboss and all works fine. But when I go to the top level directory of my web app I can see all my JSPs/Gifs etc listed as a directory listing. Does anybody know how to turn this off?
Thanks in advance

Define a <welcome-file-list> in your web.xml file.
For instance, this one will redirect any request for the directory into a request for "index.jsp":
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

Look in -home-/conf/web.xml at the default servlet parameters. Set the "listings" parameter to "false" to disable directory listings in directories that don't have a "welcome" file.
