6 | <p>SSI (Server Side Includes) are directives that are placed in HTML pages, |
---|
7 | and evaluated on the server while the pages are being served. They let you |
---|
8 | add dynamically generated content to an existing HTML page, without having |
---|
9 | to 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 |
---|
13 | HTTP server and you require SSI support. Typically this is done |
---|
14 | during 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"> |
---|
18 | Apache 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 |
---|
21 | or 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 |
---|
25 | is 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 |
---|
29 | is mapped to the URL pattern "*.shtml", though it can be mapped to "*" as |
---|
30 | it will selectively enable/disable SSI processing based on mime types. The |
---|
31 | contentType init param allows you to apply SSI processing to JSP pages, |
---|
32 | javascript, or any other content you wish.</p> |
---|
33 | <p>By default SSI support is disabled in Tomcat.</p> |
