FYI, I had a case once where I needed to make my CSS files JSP's because
I was using HTC's and for some reason I couldn't get the path mappings
to work right unless I used request.getContextPath() to prefix the HTC
names... more than likely just my mistake somewhere, but making it a JSP
(as Yaakov says, just renaming it to .jsp) did the trick.
I would personally prefer that approach because should you ever need to
move to another app server, or even a hosted environment like I moved to
a few months back, this way you won't have to mess with server settings,
or getting some grumpy old admin to do it :)

I assume you need this because you want to place some JSP code inside
your stylesheet....
Two approaches:
1) If you know that ALL of your .css files will need to include JSP
code in them, then go to tomcat_dir/conf/web.xml and add another
<servlet-mapping> like so:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.css</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
2) If you need to place JSP code in just one or two .css files, I
would not start messing with server specific configurations and just
rename those .css files to have extension of .jsp. So, now you will
have a stylesheet file with .jsp. It seems weird and unusual, but
really doesn't make any difference as far as your HTML/JSP page is
concerned. Just point the link to the .jsp page instead in your
HTML/JSP page:
<link href="styles/myStyle.jsp" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
Hope that helps.

Hello,
how can I define, that e.g. the extension .css shall be processed by
tomcat same as a .jsp-file?
