I don't know what your responce expectancy time, but I consider 2-3 days to
be average.

To answer your question, did you look at the
w3c.jigsaw.resources.DirectoryResource ? In there there is some code that
ignores '.' and '..' files. Subclass Directory resource, Then
*) Change that subrotine so that ignores anything you want it to (can even
make it a property),
*) Change directory templates if you want it to be the default directory
resource,
*) Reindex directories that are already using standard DirectoryResource so
they would be recreated from your new template (but don't reindex root or
/Admin -> you will lose its content)
*) Save the server so the crash would not undo what you have done.
*) Finished.

QED.
