Hi,
I can’t figure out how to list my directory content when there is is no index.cfm
I follow these instructions Apache Tomcat 8 (8.0.53) - Default Servlet Reference “What can I change?” and set my listings parameter to true.
What i don’t understand is that I got a CFM error page. Does that mean Tomcat didn’t handle the request by itself and pass it to CFMLServlet ?
Except the listings parameter I use the standard Lucee Express installation.
Could you help ? It’s very useful to get that content during development …
Thanks.
Yep. Show your servlet-mapping’s from web.xml.
I throw out the commented ones.
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>LuceeServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.lucee</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/index.lucee/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CFMLServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.cfc</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>*.cfm</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>*.cfml</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/index.cfc/*</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/index.cfm/*</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/index.cfml/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>RESTServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
if I add
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> then i get my listing, but any existing index are ignored … Is there a way to prioritize the mapping ?
To clarify, your servlet-class for default servlet is org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet, right?
index file is handled by <welcome-file-list>, e.g.
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.cfm</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
Right :
<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>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
and my welcome file are ok :
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.cfm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.lucee</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
with the modified default mapping
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Any web request ending by a “/” aka “/some/path/to/folder/” show me a listing. Even if there is an index.cfm inside.
I am trying to anderstand how Tomcat / Lucee / and so are interacting together …
And I am a little bit confuse with the conf file that seem easy to understand but does not produce what expected …
Note that It’s ok for me, as I first wanted to access the directory listing during the development phase. I just click on the index.cfm if needed …
Well, you definitely don’t want to use /* for Servlet. It’s fine for Filters, but not so good for Servlets:
I was pretty sure /* was a bad idea… I deleted it.
I tried to comment all the config elements related to Lucee and CFM.
Now, I get the expected behavior : when there is an index.html file it is processed and I see my html page, if there is no index.html Tomcat show me the directory listing.
Does that mean there is no way to achieve this behavior with Lucee/CFM activated ?
Thanks
This will be my last post about this topic … I surrender 
No, I have set that up like this in development a while back, but TBH it was long ago and I don’t remember the details. It was rather straightforward though, so I’m not sure why it’s giving you a hard time.
in your [lucee]/tomcat/cont/context.xml file, change this:
<Context useHttpOnly="true">
to this:
<Context useHttpOnly="true" resourceOnlyServlets="CFMLServlet">
… restart Lucee and you should get the results you’re looking for.
