To change you're "default" page so that you don't show a directory listing..
You need to setup your welcome file list in your webapp's web.xml file.
Located in... <catalina_home>/webapps/<appfolder>/WEB-INF/web.xml
---------------------------------
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

Conversation: tomcat 5.5.9 basic config
Subject: Re: tomcat 5.5.9 basic config
Thanks for the advice about moving the context tag. I moved it as you
suggested and it works the same.
But, that doesn't answer the question, how do I get it so when someone
browses to my webapp root they get the default page, say index.jsp, instead
of a directory listing. I don't want user's to go to a directory.
The reason I ask is none of my pages that use relative urls are displaying
correctly (a helloworld.jsp works fine), my suspiscion is this extra
directory level is throwing the relative urls off (see
