Bug ID: 54320
Summary: Regression: can not activate activate directory
listings parameter for DefaultServlet
STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: 7.0.34
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: regression
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Since Tomcat 7, one can not enable directory listings (in conf/web.xml) while
simultaneously enabling strict servlet compliance (by setting the
org.apache.catalina.STRICT_SERVLET_COMPLIANCE system property): one gets a 404
response.
This is a regression compared to Tomcat 5.5 and Tomcat 6.
The Servlet 3.0 specification states ยง10.10:
"If no matching welcome file is found in the manner described, the container
may handle the request in a manner it finds suitable. For some configurations
this may mean returning a directory listing or for others returning a 404
response."
so this new behaviour is still specification compliant strictly speaking.
But still I would really like to enable directory listings (which is also
specification compliant)! :-)
(And yes, I do know the warnings / trade-offs about enabling those listings.)
