Puppet users - Feb 2009 - Question on recursively managing permissions

I''ve got a directory (a webapps directory for a Java app server) that
I''d like to ensure all of the contents are world readable.  As puppet
is not really suitable for application deployment, I''d like to manage
the permissions of this directory and all of it''s contents.  Something
like:

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 \{\}
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 \{\}

Is there an easy way to accomplish this in puppet, or am I barking up
the wrong tree?

file {
"/top/level/dir":
owner => user,
group => usergroup,
ensure => directory,
mode => "0664", #whatever
recurse => true;
}
something like that may work
If that doesn''t then you should be able to use an exec of your find  
commands  and onlyif mtime/md5 of the dir tree but that may take a  
while.
  I''m not near a computer so I can''t personally test either of
these.
