Newbie here:

I've followed most of the instructions trying to get SSI working in Eclipse. Eventually I want my .jsp files to include other .jsp files, so I'm using the filter instead of the the servlet (please correct if that's wrong).

I have changed my CATALINA_BASE/conf/context.xml file so it looks like this:

<Context privileged="true">
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
</Context>

and i've modified my CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml to look like this:

<filter>
<filter-name>ssi</filter-name>
<filter-class>
org.apache.catalina.ssi.SSIFilter
</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contentType</param-name>
<param-value>text/x-server-parsed-html(;.*)?</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>0</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>expires</param-name>
<param-value>666</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>isVirtualWebappRelative</param-name>
<param-value>0</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ssi</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.shtml</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

finally, i have a basic html file named test.shtml

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>tester</title>
</head>
<body>
hi there

</body>
</html>

my inc.html text is not included, and when i bring up the page and view the source, i get:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>tester</title>
</head>
<body>
hi there

</body>
</html>

i have left the invoker servlet commented out; not sure if that plays a part.

I'm totally lost here and can't seem to get it working.

Also, there is only one webapp on this server. Not sure if that's relevant.

Thanks,

Jeff

The "context.xml" and "web.xml" files you need to modify are found under
the Servers project in your workspace. These are the "master" copies
which are published to the Tomcat server prior to start up. For details
about the Tomcat support in WTP, see the WTP Tomcat FAQ[1].

Cheers,
Larry

It has been a long time since I've messed with getting SSI to work. Do
these configuration changes work outside of Eclipse in the actual Tomcat
installation? If not, you might want to ask on the Tomcat Users mailing
list.

Cheers,
Larry
