Thanks for the reply. Actually, I don't worry about people can do "view source". I just don't like the fact that they can type in the folder and list the whole directory tree on the browser. They can open any file on the directory and potentially alter the code.
Most web sites I've been to, if you type in the folder directory, you will get an access deny or something like that. I am wondering if I can set up something similar in Tomcat?
By the way, I do have an index.jsp.
Thanks.
