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

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

42and servlet-mapping configuration in

97<p>Server Side Includes are invoked by embedding SSI directives in an HTML document
98 whose type will be processed by the SSI servlet. The directives take the form of an HTML
99 comment. The directive is replaced by the results of interpreting it before sending the
100 page to the client. The general form of a directive is: </p>
101<p> <code>&lt;!--#directive [parm=value] --&gt;</code></p>
102<p>The directives are:
103<ul>
104<li>
105<strong>config</strong> - <code>&lt;!--#config timefmt="%B %Y" --&gt;</code>
106Used to set the format of dates and other items processed by SSI
107</li>
108<li>
109<strong>echo</strong> -   <code>&lt;!--#echo var="VARIABLE_NAME" --&gt;</code>
110will be replaced bt the value of the variable.
111</li>
112<li>
113<strong>exec</strong> -  Used to run commands on the host system.
114</li>
115<li>

117inserts the contents
118</li>
119<li>
120<strong>flastmod</strong> - <code>&lt;!--#flastmod file="filename.shtml" --&gt;</code>

124<strong>fsize</strong> - <code>&lt;!--#fsize file="filename.shtml" --&gt;</code>

135<li>
136<strong>if elif endif else</strong> - Used to create conditional sections. For example:</li>
