Hi,

If I create a folder in the base of my web application, for example:

 webapp/mydir

can I prevent access to it?

What I am wanting to do it create modules within my web application that contain the associated components:

 webapp/
    module/
      js/
      css/
      jsp/
      img/

The JSPs will be accessed via struts2, so I want to ensure that someone typing:

  http://../webapp/module/jsp/abc.jsp

won't be able to access the resource. I know I could put the JSPs in WEB-INF (it is what I do now), though I am wanting to explore another way of organising and grouping related resource, for easier management.


Turns out I can do the following:

   <security-constraint>
         <web-resource-collection>
                <web-resource-name>JSP</web-resource-name>
                <description>Prevents access to .jsp files</description>
                <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
      </web-resource-collection>
      <auth-constraint/>
   </security-constraint>

One other source suggested a filter. I have an answer to my question, now to see if it solves anything.
