1)yes you need to setup the listings options for your servlet in web.xml as in
<servlet>
<servlet-name>NameOfServlet</servlet-name>
</servlet-class>FullPackageNameOfServletClass</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>listings</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
2)make sure you copy your viewable (txt) files to the the webapps/WEBAPPNAME
(Note the WEB-INF folder is for web.xml, /classes and /lib)
<a
href="${contextPath}/src/org/ajaxtags/demo/servlet/AutocompleteServlet.java.txt">Java
source</a>
3)ensure the files that you wish to view have an extension that your browser
will know to associate with text editor(as in .txt extension for vi or wordpad)
(Expanding on previous poster's extremely late nite posting..)

I haven't personally tried the following, so take it with a grain of
salt. Also, others might know an easier way to accomplish what you
want.
Delivery of static content and directory listings is under control of
the default servlet, as defined in the conf/web.xml file. By default,
this has the listings param set to false, to disable ad hoc browsing. I
think you could copy the config for the default servlet, change
<servlet-name> from default to something appropriate for your purpose,
set the listings param to true, and add a servlet mapping for this
renamed default to use a <url-pattern> pointing to the directory you
want to store your public files in. You would want to put this
redefined servlet definition and mapping in the WEB-INF/web.xml of the
webapp that will hold the public directory.
