This is a page that shows when the URL points to a folder instead of a file, and when no welcome-files can be found in the folder (eg: index.jsp and index.html don't exist).

This is useful for sites that allow browsing of one or more folders, such as file download archives.
Directory listings can be enabled or disabled in the system-wide <jakarta>/conf/web.xml file, and is usually disabled for security reasons. See Risks of Enabling Directory Listings for more information.
The feature can also be set on a per-application basis using an override in web.xml. See Enabling or Disabling Directory Listings using web.xml for more information.
