VFS Portlet 1.３ Released

Using this portlet, you can access various file system on your Portal. This portlet enables you to access file systems(ex. local file system) via commons-vfs. So, basically, this portlet will support file systems supported by commons-vfs(but I checked only a local file system..).

To deploy this portlet:
1) Download vfs-portlet.war
2) Deploy vfs-portlet.war(For how to deploy portlet, see portal server's document)

Note: for JBoss Portal, please see this post.

If you want user to access only some specified paths, you can set the following init param in portlet.xml:

        <init-param>
            <name>accept-paths</name>
            <value>.*</value>
        </init-param>

The default value is ".*". It means user can access all file/directory. For example, if you want user to access files under /tmp and /home, the value is "/tmp/.*,/home/.*". On the other hand, if you want user not to access files, you can also use "deny-paths".
