Regex doesn't work in XPathDirectoryGenerator

Hello,

I'm using the XPathDirectoryGenerator to retrieve all files with name 
"book.xml" out of a certain folder. Therefore I'm using the parameter 
"xmlFiles" as you can see below:

<map:parameter name="xmlFiles" value="/book\.xml/"/>

But this regex doesn't work because always all files will be scanned. 
This doesn't work, too:

<map:parameter name="xmlFiles" value="book\.xml"/>

I'm not very familiar with regular expressions. But to search for all 
files with name "book.xml" this should be the reight regex: /book\.xml/ 
right?

Thanks a lot!

Regards
Stephan

Hello,

I don't get your setup: 
- are there several files called "book.xml" in the same directory
- or are there several direcotries each with a book.xml
- or do several files end with book.xml (e.q first-book.xml, second-book.xml)

However,  I think "^book\.xml$" would match all files named book.xml
in a certain directory.
