## Description

Returns information about a file in the WEB-INF/xml based on the specified path info.

If the file is a directory, lists the files corresponding to the specified directory.

### Configuration

The root XML folder can be configured globally using the Berlioz configuration:

For example:

```xml

<node name="bastille">
  <map/>
  <node name="xml">
    <map>
      <entry key="folder"   value="xml/content"/>
    </map>
  </node>
</node>
```

### Parameters

The path to the resource can be specified using the path parameter; if the path parameter is not specified, the path uses the path info.

### Returned XML

XML for a file:

```xml

<file name="[filename]"
      path="[path_to_folder]"
      type="file"
      media-type="[media_type]"
      length="[file_size]"
      modified="[ISO8601_datetime]">
 
```

XML for a folder:

```xml

<file name="[filename]" path="[path_from_root]" type="folder">
  <!-- for each file... -->
  <file name="" ... />
  </file>
 
```

XML if the file doesn’t exist:

```xml

<file name="[filename]" path="[path_to_folder]" status="not-found">
```

#### File attributes

- `name` – the name of the file (including extension).
- `path` – the path from the root of the website.
- `type` – is either ‘file’ or ‘folder’.
- `length` – the full length of the file.
- `modified` – the last modified date and time of the file using ISO8601.
- `media-type` – the media type of the file based on the file extension as specified in Berlioz; if the file extension does not map to any media type, returns “application/octet-stream”.
- `content-type` – same as media type (deprecated).
- `status` – equals ‘not-found’.
