Subject: How to set extension mapping
Hi All,
Here is my question.
I want to map files with ".xyz" extension to be treated as a ".jsp"
file.
i.e. if any request comes with .xyz extension ( e.g.
http://myserver/mydomain/mydirectory/myfile.xyz )
and if myfile.xyz contains jsp code. So, for the above request the
myfile.xyz shud be compiled into servlet and then it shud send response
as
per the code written..
To achieve this type of extension mappping what steps i have to take
in
configuration of tomcat server.
Hoping for quick reply
Lomesh.
