Tomcat page acces blocking

[Pere Torrodellas <pt...@fihoca.com>]

Hello,

<I sent this a couple of days ago, but it didn't get to the mailing list.
Retrying...>

I need to block direct (i.e. with a URL) access from browsers to pages in a
directory that is directly under a Tomcat webapp directory.

Searching this mail list and the Servlet API document lead me to try to define a
<web-resource-collection> in the webapp web.xml file for this directory,
but what I get is the browser displaying the user authentication dialog. This
prevents access indeed, but an "access error" or "page not found" kind of
response  from Tomcat would be much better.

This is probably a quite common need, so can someone please tell me how to do
it? Thanks in advance.
