Here's another example similar to Keith's...This is something I'm
planning to add as an out-of-the-box setting for DSpace XMLUI (so it
should be default for the 1.5.2 release).
In this case, you want to add this code to your *theme's* sitemap.xmap
file. I'd suggest adding it near the top, directly after the <map:match
pattern="themes/*/**"> section:
<!--Load completely static content (*.txt or *.html) when requested-->
<map:match pattern="*.txt">
<map:read src="static/{1}.txt"/>
</map:match>
<map:match pattern="*.html">
<map:read src="static/{1}.html"/>
</map:match>
In the above case, any static content (*.txt or *.html) in your DSpace
webapp will be loaded from the "static/" subfolder under your currently
installed theme. So, this would allow you to place a robots.txt in that
"static" directory, or any number of static HTML webpages there.
NOTE: The above "patterns" will NOT match any HTML or Plain Text
content you upload into DSpace, as those appear under the
"bitstream/handle/*/**" path when you view them.
Hope that helps!
