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

Question

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 ?
