JSP Recursive Import

I have a master JSP file that I want to import a recursive set of matching files from my web app into (they are mustache templates).

I want to do something like this:

<jsp:include page="**/*.mustache"/>

or 

<%@ include file="**/*.mustache" %>

Is there any way to do that via a JSTL tag etc?

Solution

  • I solved the issue with a bit of a hacky scriptlet:

    <%
String path = pageContext.getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
Collection<String> paths = new ArrayList<String>();
for (File file : FileUtils.listFiles(new File(path), new String[] { "ext" }, true)) {
    //Make the path relative
    paths.add(file.getAbsolutePath().substring(path.length()));
}
%>
<c:forEach items="<%=paths%>" var="path">
    <jsp:include page="../${path}"/>
</c:forEach>
