Did you try any of these scriptlets (using your example)?
<% File directory = new File(application.getRealPath("directory")) %>
<% File directory = new
File(application.getResource("directory").toExternalForm()) %>
<% application.getResourceAsStream("directory") %>
According to the documentation getResourceAsStream() will read resources
from a war file if it wasn't extracted during deployment. Some application
servers don't extract ears, wars, & jars during deployment unless you
instruct it to do so. This probably doesn't apply to your situation because
you're serving files from a directory.

I was going to suggest using something like the IO taglib from
Apache-Jakarta http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/index.html. Unfortunately
the IO taglib link on this page is broken. I don't know if it contains a tag
specifically for this purpose but it seems like the best candidate. Perhaps
you should write a tag library to list files. I suspect taglibs already
exist that do this. I just didn't know of any other taglib lists off-hand.

I hope this is helpful.
