Aaron,

Leaving aside the possibility of genericizing this for both
tomcat & jetty and just considering the jetty implementation
for now:

It might be possible to be able to use the same kind of mechanism
in the geronimo-web.xml file as is used in the deployer plan.xml
file. That is, put a gbean into the geronimo-web.xml file like
so:

   <gbean name="StaticContent" 
class="org.apache.geronimo.jetty.JettyServletHolder">
       <attribute name="servletName">defaultOverride</attribute>
       <attribute 
name="servletClass">org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.Default</attribute>
       <attribute name="loadOnStartup">0</attribute>
       <attribute name="initParams">
acceptRanges=true
dirAllowed=true
putAllowed=false
delAllowed=false
redirectWelcome=false
minGzipLength=8192</attribute>
       <attribute name="servletMappings">/</attribute>
   </gbean>

that the JettyWebModuleBuilder can use to set up the Default servlet
for the webapp instead of using the StaticContent gbean from the j2ee-jetty-runtime-deployer-plan.xml.

Comments?

regards
Jan

Aaron,

To disable/enable directory listing for Jetty, you
must set the initParameter called dirAllowed to false/true for
Jetty's default servlet called org.mortbay.jetty.servlet.Default.

If I understand correctly, the jetty builder plan.xml sets this to true for the container, but it should be possible to do this on a per-webapp basis. Perhaps by putting a setter on the JettyWebAppContext class that can be referenced from the geronimo-web.xml file?

I will take a closer look at this and get back to you.

Jan

It would be nice to have a settings in the geronimo-web.xml for
whether the web container should return a directory listing or a 404
error if the request URL points to a directory and there's no welcome
file present.

Do Jetty and Tomcat both support this?  Any idea whether it's easy to do?

Thanks,
