Question

I’m using glassfish server 3.1.2 and jsf 2.1. Based on sitemaps.org standarts, sitemap file of entire web site should be in root folder. I will have multiple sitemaps and sitemap will change dynamically after i create new entries. I have read there, i want to use alternate docroot. But i can’t create alternate docroot for root directory. I should find a solution as like as alternate docroot.

You could create a simple servlet to perform the job.

@WebServlet("/sitemap.xml")
public class SitemapServlet extends HttpServlet {

    @Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        response.setContentType("text/xml");
        // You might want to add finer grained browser cache related headers.

        InputStream input = new FileInputStream("/some/path/to/sitemap.xml");
        OutputStream output = response.getOutputStream();
        // Now just write input to output using your favorite way.
        // ...
    }

}
