Free web exploration of folder content with Struts2

Hi everybody,



I want to publish some resources (folders and files) under a folder inside
the WebContent folder of my Struts2 application and allow free directory
exploration of that folder contents.



WebContent/public-folder/*.*



Does somebody know how to achieve this?



All my attempts fail with the classical ‘There is no Action mapped for
action name public-folder’



I am using Sitemesh decorator, and have defined next exclude pattern:



    <excludes>

                <pattern>/*public-folder*</pattern>

    </excludes>



It seems that I’m unable to escape away from Struts2 control.

Thanks…

Hi,

I didn’t wanted to refactorize all my ‘xxx’ style links to ‘xxx.action’
style links.

So, what I’ve finally done is to create a new empty web NO-Struts2
application, move that public-folder to it, and create a WEB-INF/web.xml
file with ONLY this content, with listing parameter to true to allow
directory listing:



    <servlet>

        <servlet-name>default2</servlet-name>


<servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>

        <init-param>

            <param-name>debug</param-name>

            <param-value>0</param-value>

        </init-param>

        <init-param>

            <param-name>listings</param-name>

            <param-value>true</param-value>

        </init-param>

        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

    </servlet>



    <servlet-mapping>

        <servlet-name>default2</servlet-name>

        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>

    </servlet-mapping>


Thanks Mauricio!

This happens because the struts filter(s) intercepts your request.
You could change your web.xml configuration such that the struts
filter(s) ignores this kind of request:
Take a look at your filter mapping and change the url-pattern in something like
<url-pattern>/*.action</url-pattern>
