File/Directory Manipulation Tag Libraries

[Derek <dh...@yahoo.com>]

Ananth,

You can check out all of the standard Jakarta/Tomcat
libraries here:

http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/index.html

Upon an initial scan and having worked with several of
those libraries, it does not appear as though any of
them handle directory or file manipulation.  There are
several servlets available (do a Google search for
"file servlet" and you should find a few).

There may also be a few third-party file/directory
manipulation tag libraries -- doing a search on google
for "file jsp tag libraries" might give you a few
hits.

Also, depending on your goals, you can turn on
directory browsing for a particular area of your site,
giving the user a standard Tomcat directory browser. 
I believe you that you can turn that on in the
<context> area somewhere.  I also think that it's
turned on by default if you do not have a file
corresponding to the <welcome> tag defined.

[FYI Ananth, please update the subject line to be
representative of your question so we don't get it
mixed in with other threads.  I forget every
once-in-a-while as well.  Thanks!]

Thanks!
Derek

Re: File/Directory Manipulation Tag Libraries

["Mark R. Diggory" <md...@latte.harvard.edu>]

One strategy we've discussed in the past is to use the JNDI taglibrary 
plus the default java:env/Resources jndi context in the webapplication 
as a mechanism to list the contents of the directories (this allows 
listing of both webapplications that are expanded into the filesystem 
and webapplications that are mounted as WAR files). This however, is an 
"read only" solution.
