In that case, the method is to manually deploy the context.xml as conf/Catalina/hostname/appname.xml.

Re: listing directory content outside tomcat root
Enable listings is sort of** a global setting. Since the default servlet is declared in conf/web.xml - its inherited in *every* webapp. So its config is also inherited. (Bummer) BUT - if you add a WEB-INF/web.xml to EVERY webapp with the default servlet settings - then you can remove the default servlet config from conf/web.xml and have the default servlet per webapp config. That means - in docBase=/path_to_some_dir/ -- you need /path_to_some_dir/WEB-INF/web.xml What I forget is - what happens if you only create /path_to_some_dir/WEB-INF/web.xml and leave conf/web.xml alone. Which of course would be the easiest thing to do. -Tim On 2/25/2010 6:22 AM, Ivan Longhi wrote: hi, I would like to list the content of a directory outside tomcat root without enabling the listings parameter in default servlet. conf/web.xml servlet servlet-namedefault/servlet-name servlet-classorg.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet/servlet-class init-param param-namelistings/param-name param-valuefalse/param-value /init-param /servlet conf/server.xml .

(Bummer) Not a bummer at all - it's a very good thing.
