The problem and the solution appears serveral times in the mailing list
and in several mailing archives AND it is to be found in the server.xml
file in the tomcat/conf directory.

        <!-- "default" handler - static files and dirs.  Set the
             "suppress" property to "true" to suppress directory
listings
             when no welcome file is present.

             NOTE:  This setting applies to *all* web applications that
             are running in this instance of Tomcat.
          -->
        <RequestInterceptor 
            className="org.apache.tomcat.request.StaticInterceptor" 
            debug="0" suppress="true" />

so long!
