The easy answer is no: you can only do it for the whole server by changing the setting which you've already done. But there's a more complicated answer that does work. The listings parameter is for the default servlet as you know by now. The conf/web.xml, and the default servlet, is loaded once per context. So you can take the default servlet out of conf/web.xml into the web.xml files of your own applications. Which means you can configure selected contexts to display or hide directory listings. Taking it to the next level, the Host level, is just more copy and paste. So, to enable directory listings for Host A, declare the default servlet in every web.xml in Host A with listings=true. To disable directory listings for Host B, declare the default servlet in every web.xml in Host B with listings=false. And take out the default servlet altogether from conf/web.xml.
