How to set up a special folder to list all files under it?
My current setting is redirect default request (localhost:8080) to my app by
adding a refresh meta in index.html under Root. Now I need add a specific
folder which will let user to browse all files under it without
authentication. This folder can be under my app folder or root folder (I
don't care under which context it is, just make sure user can access and
browse files under it). I am with 5.5.20 service of XP Pro SP2 box. Can
anyone give me some hints? Thanks!

This isn't really a Tomcat issue. The Windows implementation of soft
links is a bit strange, as you're finding out. However, there are ways
to make it work, mostly. Try looking at this:

How can I use this feature of virtual directory in 5.5.20? Any example or
docs? I don't have Apache installed or IIS associated with Tomcat in my box.

The OP is running on WinXP; is allowLinking safe to use on that platform
now? The doc seems pretty adamant about not enabling it for Windows.

Under listing directory, is there any way putting a file link there since I
want to put physical file in a different disk? I tried and it showed me a
file with a link, but after I clicked this test.lnk it can't show me the
physical file at all. Thanks!

You don't have to create any classes. Just do what I said in the
original response, which is to copy the existing declaration for the
default servlet from conf/web.xml to your own WEB-INF/web.xml. Change
the name of the servlet, but not the servlet class - leave that as:
org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet
Also change the <param-value> for listings to true (in your copy), and
supply a servlet mapping for the renamed servlet to use the directory
that has your public files.

Still confused with servlet class (FullPackageNameOfServletClass) here. What

When starting a new thread (ie sending a message to the list about a
new topic) please do not reply to an existing message and change the
subject line. To many of the list archiving services and mail clients
used by list subscribers this makes your new message appear as part
of the old thread. This makes it harder for other users to find
relevant information when searching the lists.
This is known as thread hijacking and is behaviour that is frowned
upon on this list. Frequent offenders will be removed from the list.
It should also be noted that many list subscribers automatically
ignore any messages that hijack another thread.
The correct procedure is to create a new message with a new subject.
This will start a new thread.

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)

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.
