How to prevent directory listing?

Is it possible to prevent a particular Struts webapp from displaying
directory listings? That is, global /conf/web.xml has its DefaultServlet
with listings set to true, thus enabling dir listing for all apps. Can I
then prevent a particular Struts webapp from doing so by setting
something in the local web.xml?

Thank you. 
Ivan.

I think (haven't tried this myself) you can override it in your own 
application's web.xml

eg add this to your web.xml in the appropriate place

<servlet>
        <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>
          org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet
        </servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>debug</param-name>
            <param-value>0</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>listings</param-name>
            <param-value>false</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
