the Access Control, Index.html File, and Document Root Directory categories

If there is no Index.html file defined in this field, and you connect to
a directory on your machine without giving some other file name in the URL,
the files in the directory will be listed by the Java Server.

Enables or disables the server's access control checking. Access control lets
you restrict or allow user access to web pages or resources (for example,
servlets). You use access control to specify certain privileges for specific
users or groups within a security realm. You set access control using the
Access Control page.
The name of the default HTML file the Java Server loads when you enter
the URL for your machine. In many cases this file is actually called
index.html
; however, you can enter the name of any file. This
file becomes the default file the Java Server loads when you connect to
any directory on your machine.

whenever you connect to any directory that has a myfile.html
file (and no other file name is specified in the URL), that file will be the
default file displayed by the Java Server.
