Re: directory listings per webapp
There is a typo in the below. This tomcat/server/webapps/billing/WEB-INF/web.xml Should have been tomcat/server/webapps/foo/WEB-INF/web.xml So thats not the problem.

I've seen lots of people say it can be done, just do but I've yet to find a working example. Can someone tell me what I'm missing here? I have a file: tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/foo.xml The contents are: Context path=/foo docBase=/dir/foo debug=0 privileged=false /Context Now this, all by itself works for creating the webapp, and it will get a directory listing if I enable global directory listing in the web.xml file, but I don't want that. So, I created: tomcat/server/webapps/billing/WEB-INF/web.xml The contents are: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? !DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC -//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd; web-app servlet servlet-namefoo/servlet-name servlet-classorg.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet/servlet-class init-param param-namedebug/param-name param-value0/param-value /init-param init-param param-namelistings/param-name param-valuetrue/param-value /init-param load-on-startup1/load-on-startup /servlet servlet-mapping servlet-namefoo/servlet-name url-pattern/foo/*/url-pattern /servlet-mapping /web-app But this doesn't work. What do I need to do to make this happen?

RE: directory listings per webapp
From: Dan Armbrust [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: directory listings per webapp I made those two changes - but I still don't get any directory listing What do you get? Did you restart Tomcat (or insure that the webapp was otherwise redeployed)? What version of Tomcat are you using? To test what's under discussion, I changed webapps/docs/WEB-INF/web.xml to include the following: servlet servlet-namedocsListing/servlet-name servlet-classorg.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet/servlet-clas s init-param param-namedebug/param-name param-value0/param-value /init-param init-param param-namelistings/param-name param-valuetrue/param-value /init-param load-on-startup1/load-on-startup /servlet servlet-mapping servlet-namedocsListing/servlet-name url-pattern//url-pattern /servlet-mapping References to http://localhost:8080/docs/appdev/printer/docs/ now return a directory listing, whereas before a 404 came back. Is my path correct for the web.xml file? Probably not. You specified a docBase of /dir/foo for the foo webapp, but appear to have been editing webapps/foo/WEB-INF/web.xml, which is not where you've told Tomcat the app is deployed. It's extremely bad practice to have a directory under the Host appBase that's the same as one for an app with a docBase that points somewhere else. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Re: directory listings per webapp
I made those two changes - but I still don't get any directory listing (I can get a file if I name it specifically - so I know that that context is working) Is my path correct for the web.xml file? Or am I missing something else?

Re: directory listings per webapp
Probably not. You specified a docBase of /dir/foo for the foo webapp, but appear to have been editing webapps/foo/WEB-INF/web.xml, which is not where you've told Tomcat the app is deployed. It's extremely bad practice to have a directory under the Host appBase that's the same as one for an app with a docBase that points somewhere else. Ahh - there we go. I had tried putting the web.xml file there before - but at the time, I had the incorrect url-pattern in my web.xml. Thanks a lot. I'll see if I can get access to http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Miscellaneous and update the answer to this question - since the current answer is pretty poor. It would be nice if someone could update http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/default-servlet.html as well, because in general, having documentation basically say if you don't know how to do this already, too bad is just bad practice ;) Thanks again, Dan - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You created your own problem by putting in a docBase attribute telling Tomcat where the webapp was locating and then editing a web.xml for an entirely different deployment. Well, it does now :) Previously - it said This is done in TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml by changing the listings property for the default servlet. Not exactly very useful in finding out how to do it on a per-app basis.

The section on customization discusses only how directory listings are presented. Its about the only other official doc reference that I came up with after doing a search - so between that and the lacking FAQ, I was left hunting the mailing list where about 50 people seem to have asked the question, and most go away with only turning it on globally.
