How WebLogic Server Resolves HTTP Requests
Configuring and Managing WebLogic Server 7-11
The table below provides some sample URLs and the file that is served by WebLogic
Server. The Index Directories Checked column refers to the Index Directories attribute
that controls whether or not a directory listing is served if no file is specifically
requested. You set Index Directories using the Administration Console, on the Web
Applications node, under the Configuration
→Files tab.
