Enable listings is "sort of"** a global setting.
Since the default servlet is declared in conf/web.xml - its inherited in
*every* webapp. So its config is also inherited. (Bummer)
BUT - if you add a WEB-INF/web.xml to EVERY webapp with the default
servlet settings - then you can remove the default servlet config from
conf/web.xml and have the default servlet per webapp config.
That means - in docBase="/path_to_some_dir/" --> you need
/path_to_some_dir/WEB-INF/web.xml
What I forget is - what happens if you only create
/path_to_some_dir/WEB-INF/web.xml and leave conf/web.xml alone. Which of
course would be the easiest thing to do.

hi,
I would like to list the content of a directory outside tomcat root

<Parameter name="listings" value="true" />

if I try to get a file inside the dir it works (
http://localhost:8080/test/some_file.txt ) but if I try to list the
content of the directory ( http://localhost:8080/test/ ) I get 404.
