Executing *.xml files as *.jsp files

Question

Under other web containers this usually takes about 4 lines in a config xml file.
I am still hunting through the online doco
but I was wondering if anyone could point
me to the relevant section quicker ? ...
Basically what I am looking to do is to
tell the server to parse and execute *.xml
files as *.jsp files. It should be a simple
mapping somewhere in the config files.
Thankyou in advance,
Brian.

Answer 1

Chuck,
That isn't quite what I want to achieve. What I have done
elsewhere is place the following servlet mapping in the Web
Container's web.xml file.
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.xml</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
which then causes all *.xml files to be processed as *.jsp files.
Servlet name being the name of the servlet that processes the
JSP files for the web container. Is there an equivalent
thing under BEA ? Does BEA have a servlet which processes
JSP files or does it use something different ?
Cheers,
Brian.

Brian,
You should be able to update the web.xml for this purpose
e.g.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>myFoo</servlet-name>
<jsp-file>SnoopServlet.xml</jsp-file>
</servlet>
See the following URL for a more detailed description
