5<p>SSI (Server Side Includes) are directives that are placed in HTML pages,
6and evaluated on the server while the pages are being served. They let you
7add dynamically generated content to an existing HTML page, without having
8to serve the entire page via a CGI program, or other dynamic technology.
9</p>
10
11<p>Within Tomcat SSI support can be added when using Tomcat as your
12HTTP server and you require SSI support.  Typically this is done
13during development when you don't want to run a web server like Apache.</p>
14
15<p>Tomcat SSI support implements the same SSI directives as Apache.  See the
16<a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/ssi.html#basicssidirectives">
17Apache Introduction to SSI</a> for information on using SSI directives.</p>
18
19<p>SSI support is available as a servlet and as a filter. You should use one
20or the other to provide SSI support but not both.</p>
21
22<p>Servlet based SSI support is implemented using the class
23<code>org.apache.catalina.ssi.SSIServlet</code>.  Traditionally, this servlet
24is mapped to the URL pattern "*.shtml".</p>
25
26<p>Filter based SSI support is implemented using the class
27<code>org.apache.catalina.ssi.SSIFilter</code>.  Traditionally, this filter
28is mapped to the URL pattern "*.shtml", though it can be mapped to "*" as
29it will selectively enable/disable SSI processing based on mime types.  The
30contentType init param allows you to apply SSI processing to JSP pages,
31javascript, or any other content you wish.</p>
32<p>By default SSI support is disabled in Tomcat.</p>

35<p><strong>CAUTION</strong> - SSI directives can be used to execute programs

41and servlet-mapping configuration in

96<p>Server Side Includes are invoked by embedding SSI directives in an HTML document
97 whose type will be processed by the SSI servlet. The directives take the form of an HTML
98 comment. The directive is replaced by the results of interpreting it before sending the
99 page to the client. The general form of a directive is: </p>
100<p> <code>&lt;!--#directive [parm=value] --&gt;</code></p>
101<p>The directives are:
102<ul>
103<li>
104<strong>config</strong> - <code>&lt;!--#config timefmt="%B %Y" --&gt;</code>
105Used to set the format of dates and other items processed by SSI
106</li>
107<li>
108<strong>echo</strong> -   <code>&lt;!--#echo var="VARIABLE_NAME" --&gt;</code>
109will be replaced bt the value of the variable.
110</li>
111<li>
112<strong>exec</strong> -  Used to run commands on the host system.
113</li>
114<li>
115<strong>include</strong> -  <code>&lt;!--#include virtual="file-name" --&gt;</code>
116inserts the contents
117</li>
118<li>
119<strong>flastmod</strong> - <code>&lt;!--#flastmod file="filename.shtml" --&gt;</code>
120Returns the time that a file was lost modified.
121</li>
122<li>
123<strong>fsize</strong> - <code>&lt;!--#fsize file="filename.shtml" --&gt;</code>
124Returns the size of a file.

126<li>
127<strong>printenv</strong> - <code>&lt;!--#printenv --&gt;</code>
128Returns the list of all the defined variables.
129</li>
130<li>
131<strong>set</strong> - <code>&lt;!--#set var="foo" value="Bar" --&gt;</code>
132is used to assign a value to a user-defind variable.
133</li>
134<li>
135<strong>if elif endif else</strong> - Used to create conditional sections. For example:</li>
136<code>&lt;!--#config timefmt="%A" --&gt;<br>

138  &lt;p&gt;Meeting at 10:00 on Mondays&lt;/p&gt;<br>
