Larry,
you could register a Servlet under the URL-pattern /downloads/WEB-INF/* that always
returns HttpServletResonse.SC_FORBIDDEN. Like this:
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public DownloadForbidden extends GenericServlet {
public void service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res) {
((HttpServletRequest)res).sendError(HttpServletResonse.SC_FORBIDDEN, "your
message");
}
}
web.xml excerpt:
...
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
DownloadForbidden
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
DownloadForbidden
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>
DownloadForbidden
</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>
/downloads/WEB-INF/*
</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
...
cheers,
-hendrik
