Have you tried modifying this section?
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ssi</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.shtml</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
To look more like this
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ssi</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
Also change the section
<init-param>
<param-name>contentType</param-name>
<param-value>text/x-server-parsed-html(;.*)?</param-value>
</init-param>
The param-value must be a regular expression that will meet the
following mime types
text/x-server-parsed-html or text/html. My regular expressions aren't
great so I'll leave that for an exercise.
I think this should work with html and htm. I'm not so sure about JSP,
hopefully someone else can clear this up.
Note there is an overhead with scanning all your files for SSI
comments but I don't think it should be too bad. Again someone more
experienced should be able to answer.

Note I got this info from reading the web.xml that came with tomcat 6
it may be different depending on your version.
