Is it possible to enable Web folder with it's navigation in Spring Boot / Web MVC similarly what we see when opening local folder in browser?

Question

Please let me know if we can get it via just configurations or maybe we can implement it without bit investment and security vulnerabilities.

What we need is to have something like web folder with directory listening (navigation) to being able to search, navigate into folder where file is located and download it without match effort...

Structure in a simple impl can be transparent to actual real directory accordingly to some local folder or mounted share via smb...

It may be not even spring, but at least java related technology.

Answer 1

Maybe something like this

public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
    registry
      .addResourceHandler("/resources/**")
      .addResourceLocations("/resources/","classpath:/other-resources/");
}
