thanks!!!
this should be the solution (and one more little question at the end of code):
conf/web.xml
------------
<servlet>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>listings</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value> <!-- FALSE to avoid
inheritance to all webapps -->
</init-param>
</servlet>
------------
conf/server.xml
------------
.........
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Context path="/test" docBase="/path_to_some_dir/">
<Parameter name="listings" value="true" />
</Context>
......
------------
/path_to_some_dir/WEB-INF/web.xml
------------
<web-app ...>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>test</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>listings</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>test</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
------------
is <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>
the right solution?
thanks,
ivan
