A directory listing is likely due to nothing handling the default
url-pattern "/" and the DefaultServlet kicking in and showing the directory
listing (as that's how your DefaultServlet is configured).

Also, what does this do?

server.addLifeCycleListener(this);

What does 'this' do with the lifecycle?
It could be the one creating/managing things for Spring (an unusual, but
doable, technique).
