## Description

Returns information about a folder from the PSML *content* folder using the Berlioz path.

This generator behaves as if it were using the Berlioz path as `path` parameter of the [Generator: GetContentFolderInfo](org.weborganic.bastille.psml.GetContentFolderInfo.md) generator.

The Berlioz path depends on the mapping of the Berlioz servlet in the Web descriptor (`web.xml`) and usually corresponds to the value of the `*` in the path component of a matching URL. The Berlioz path is then appended to the `/content` folder with the added `.psml` extension to identify the file to load.

| Mapping | URL | Path | Folder |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| /html/\* | /html/test/acme | /test/acme | /content/test/acme |
| \*.html | /test/acme.html | /test/acme | /content/test/acme |
| \*.html | /test.html?x=123#abc | /test | /content/test |
| \*.xml | /test/acme.xml | /test/acme | /content/test/acme |

### Configuration

No configuration is required.

The root of the PSML folder can be configured using the global property `bastille.psml.root` which can be either an absolute path or a relative path from the global repository.

By default, the PSML root is set to `psml` which usually corresponds to the `/WEB-INF/psml` folder of your Web app.

### Parameters

This generator does not accept or require any parameter.

### Returned XML

The top level element is always the requested folder. Its child elements are either sub folders or files within that folder.

```xml

<file name="[folder name]" path="[folder path]" type="folder">
  <!-- for each sub folder ... -->
  <file name="[file name]" path="[file path]" type="folder">
    <!-- more files and subfolders  -->
  </file>
  <!-- for each file ... -->
  <file name="[file name]"
        path="[file path]"
        type="file"
  media-type="application/vnd.pageseeder.psml+xml"
     length="[file size in bytes]"
   modified="[last modified date]"/>
</file>
```

### Error handling

#### Folder does not exist

If the folder cannot be found this generator returns the following:

```xml

<file name="[file name]" path="[base path]" status="not-found"/>
```

### Usage

```xml

<generator class="org.weborganic.bastille.psml.GetContentFolderInfoAuto" ... />
```
