If the users types in an url for a directory ( like http://www.myDomain.com/myApp/dir/ ) tomcat displays the directory listing.

How can I deny permission for the users to see the directory listing. Is it possible to control it in the server.xml?

It is done in the web.xml. Go to conf/web.xml in your tomcat install. Looke for the following code and replace true for false



As shown below

You need to change the Default servlet listing parameter in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml
