Howdy, The / mapping is taken by default servlet in the default tomcat configuration. If you map a servlet to /, you have to: 1. Remove the default servlet mapping from conf/web.xml. 2. Make sure you handle static content (this is what the default servlet handles, among other duties).
As for directory listings, read the FAQ.
