Wait, I think something got lost.
If the browsable directories are all new and prgrammatically generated, and the non-browsable directories are static, then either of the two methods already posted would work. - Tim Funk's suggestion to write a filter to intercept requests for non-browsable directories - George Sexton's suggestion to just stick an index.html file in the non-browsable directories (with a refresh of 0 to a homepage) A third option would be to use Apache in front of Tomcat and restrict access that way, then you wouldn't even have to deal with the requests. More cimplicated, though. From your comments, it seems like the number of non-browsable directories is much smaller than the potential number of browsable directories, so it would seem to me that either of the two solutions posted would work nicely.
