[SOLVED] httpd block access for all file types in a directory but allow access to a single file.

Issue

inside my site i have a directory /here/is/the/dir/path

i want to allow access to a single file in a subdirectory example: test/testfile.xml but want to deny access to a list of other files (jsp, class, jar, xml )

i have this which i want to place in httpd.conf

    <Directory /here/is/the/dir/path >

    <FilesMatch "test.xml">
    Order Allow,Deny 
    Allow from All 
    Deny from None 
    </FilesMatch>

    <FilesMatch "+\.(jsp|class|jar|xml)">
    order allow,deny
    deny from all
    </FilesMatch>

    </Directory>

is this the correct way to write this? is there a way to combine my two file match statements into a single statement ?

Solution

the stated method has been tested and is working.
