Or python only:
----------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os, fnmatch
# generator:
def find_files(directory, pattern):
    for root, dirs, files in os.walk(directory):
        for basename in files:
            if fnmatch.fnmatch(basename, pattern):
                filename = os.path.join(root, basename)
                yield filename
# process each file as it is found:
for filename in find_files('apps/name', '*.js'):
    print 'found java source:', filename
