that it is possible to do this in server.xml.
2) Supposedly it is posseble to supress the listing for a single sub
directory of the webapps directory but not others using web.xml. How?
3) Supressing certain items in the directory listing but not others.

You should also note that if you Run Tomacat as ROOT you may be more
secure against a local user trying to sabotage your Tomcat but you will be
vulnerable to malicious manipulations of your servlets. It is possible for
a connector, a port mapper or a proxy and use a user with the
least possible rights.

- Use Tomcat behind a port mapper
Quite (if you don't look to close) the same solution as the
proxy (iptables)

is if something happens to the port 80 and you must reopen it - the
whole JVM needs restarted.

Those ports you mentioned are privileged ports, I think you can only use
them if you have ROOT rights (UNIX) or admin rights (Windoze NT/2000), if
you don't have root rights I don´t think Tomcat can bind to a privileged
port. Do you start Tomcat as ROOT?

I have been studying the Manager utility of Tomcat 4 and discovered that
it is possible to add contexts for webapps here just like in the Admin
utility in tomcat 3.x. If I add a context for my WebApplication with the
Manager's install command the WebApp also works.
What bothers me is that in

First off Hello everybody!
I have been given the task of migrating from Tomcat 3.2.1 to 4.0.6. After
a lot of cussing I finally noticed that reference to port 8008 at the very
end of the server.xml and changed it to an unused port which means that I
have finally managed to get both the 3.2.1
First off thanx for the reply!
did you create a 'foo' context in server.xml?
No I just changed the ports in the example file that came with Tomcat
4.0.6 because the diff between it and the on for the 3.2.1 server seemd
too great. I suspect I am getting the server.xml configuration wrong.
