show directory contents with JSP

[beemee_freeserv]

what I want to do is (in JSP) to show the content of a specified directory
can anyone tell me how that is done?
I have absolutely NO JSP experience and I tried all day to find something that says how it should go, but i didn't get further than:

String jspPath = application.getRealPath(request.getServletPath());
java.io.File jspFile = new java.io.File(jspPath);
out.println(jspPath);

which shows the file i am using...so my guess is that i have to work with java.io.File, but how... :confused:
i have absolutely no idea (i also tried to find more with Google, but no luck so far...)

can anyone help me out?

Look at the API doc for java.io.File, the list*() methods.

i already did, but i don't understand it...
but i did find what i needed somewhere else:


<%@page import="java.io.*" %>
<%@page import="java.util.*" %>
<%!
public void GetDirectory( String a_Path , Vector a_files , Vector a_folders )
{
File l_Directory = new File( a_Path ) ;
File [] l_files = l_Directory.listFiles() ;

for( int c = 0 ; c < l_files.length ; c ++ )
{
if( l_files[c].isDirectory() )
a_folders.add( l_files[c].getName() ) ;
else
a_files.add( l_files[c].getName() ) ;
}


}
%>

<%
Vector l_Files = new Vector() , l_Folders = new Vector() ;
GetDirectory( "C:/mydirectory/", l_Files, l_Folders) ;

//folders should be left out...
//for( int a = 0 ; a<l_Folders.size() ; a++ )
//out.println( "[<b>"+l_Folders.elementAt(a).toString() + "</b>]<br>") ;

//generate files as XML
out.println("<music>") ;

for( int a = 0 ; a<l_Files.size() ; a++ )
out.println("<file>" + l_Files.elementAt(a).toString() + "</file>") ;

out.println("</music>") ;
