RE: How to prevent users from listing the content of directory in Tom cat 4?

[chris . karema]

either add an index.? in the directory you want protected

or look in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml, find something like this ~ line 45
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
 
<servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>debug</param-name>
      <param-value>0</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>listings</param-name>
      <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

change the value of the listings param to false
