i've just spent the last 30 minutes trying to figure out the entries in server.xml (in particular those isWARxxx entries) and i've looked everywhere (that i could think of) for info (altavista, jakarta site, faq-o-matic, faq that ships with tomcat, divine inspiration, Ouija board, ...) on how to stop Tomcat from servicing up directory listings.  i know one solution would be to not do this: ApJServMount /myservlets /root, but instead map it to something more tangible, but i want reasonably transparent support for JSPs and it's bad enough having to remember to always add /servlet/ to all my servlet invocations (i know, gripe, gripe, gripe). 
so my question is - how do i prevent Tomcat from reading directories and offering ftp-like interfaces to those directories.  looks like a security hole just waiting to happen...  and while we're on the subject, where is the specification (don't tell me server.dtd - i looked there too) for the entries in server.xml?
thanks!   (felt good to gripe and get that out, even if nobody knows the answers). :)
