Besides all this, I think something else got lost. I believe you *can* configure listings on a per-webapp/context basis. You just take the entire definition of the default servlet out of the server-wide web.xml (in the conf sub-directory), copy it to the particular webapp's/context's web.xml, and change the listings parameter as desired. The comments near the top of the server-wide web.xml are: <!-- This document defines default values for *all* web applications --> <!-- loaded into this instance of Tomcat. As each application is --> <!-- deployed, this file is processed, followed by the --> <!-- "/WEB-INF/web.xml" deployment descriptor from your own --> <!-- applications. --> I think this means you can have things in the particular webapp's/context's web.xml override things in the server-wide one.
