[opencms-dev] Default-file for folder tree

[Michael Emmerich]

Tylla,

take a look at the code of the OAMP Doccenter, as it is doing something 
similar what you want to do - showing a list of resources (something 
like a directory listing) - when you access the folder only.

The key is the initResource handler, it checks if you access a folder in 
the uri and then internally calls a jsp that is displaying the list of 
content.

Kind regards,
Michael
