: Tomcat serving static content with directory listings I have Tomcat 7 configured to serve static contents from a directory: <Host appBase="webapps" name="localhost"> ... <Context

Convert your directory /var/projectA/static to a simple application:


create a directory WEB-INF/
in WEB-INF/ create the file web.xml with this content:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>DirectoryListing</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>listings</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>DirectoryListing</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>



This way the directory listing is only active for your specified context and not global.
