limits the access of upper directory
Dear Sir/Madam:
I have used Tomcat to make a web site, please see:
http://bac-portal.mc.vanderbilt.edu/BAC/BACWEB.jsp
Would you please tell me how I can limit the access to whole name of this site only?
For example. now people can access (by deleting /BACWEB.jsp):
http://bac-portal.mc.vanderbilt.edu/BAC where I have other sites developing.
Thank you a lot for give me the convenience to built this web site. Tomcat is great.

Hi Luo,
You can create an index.jsp or index.html page in that directory and
people will no longer be able to list the directory contents.

I have discovered that the best way to keep people from looking into higher
directories is to create an index page for those directories. In fact, on
websites I develope, every directory has an index page. The directories into
which I do not wish people to look I create one similar to this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"">
<html>
<head>
<title>Index</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
Have you lost your way?
This link <a href = "http://bac-portal.mc.vanderbilt.edu/">"bac-portal"</a>
will help quide you.
</body>
</html>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can change the anchor "http://bac-portal.mc.vanderbilt.edu" to a URL you
want. Also "bac-portal" , can be changed to more accurately define where
the visistor is going when they click on the link.
You could cut and paste the html between the above lines and it should work
fine.
