In general, mapper does not work only in the current directory. It is
working that way for you because the values you have supplied for the from
and to attributes (from="LIVE_*" to="*"). The from and to values must take
into account the entire path of the file (relative to the current
directory), not just the filename. Since only the files in the current
directory have no relative path, those are the only ones renamed with the
values you are using.
However, since the glob mapper can only have one wildcard, you cannot
specify from="*LIVE_*" and to="**", which is what you really want.
Therefore, you must use the regexp mapper, as you also tried. Again,
though, your attempt as using the regexp mapper suffered the same problem --
you didn't take the relative path into account. So you need your regexp
mapper to look like this (not tested):
<mapper type="regexp" from="(.*)LIVE_(.*)" to="\1\2" />
In theory, that should do what you want. I leave it to you to see if it
works in practice.
