You probably should disable directory listings for most if not all webapps, since there's no need for end users to know what's in there. Implementing a welcome page gives Tomcat something to reply with other than the 404. Your <servlet-mapping> can be used to pick any servlet class of your app that you want as the default if you choose a <url-pattern> that matches one of the standard welcome pages (usually index.jsp). Take a look at how Tomcat's ROOT app works - you can actually remove the index.jsp file from it and it continues to happily deliver the Tomcat home page, since the mapping forces it to use index_jsp.class from the ROOT/WEF-INF/lib/catalina-root.jar file - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
