Jspf (jsp include file) not recognized

Question

          It looks like weblogic doesn't recognize the jspf extension as belonging to "fragments
          of JSP code that will be incorporated using a static include" as recommended by
          the JSP 1.2 spec. That means that such included files are treated as static text,
          not compiled.
          Does anyone know how to teach wls about this extension?

Answer 1

          Nothing in the JSP Specification indicates that jspf extensions should be used for
          static includes, it only address the naming convention. I think it's relevant to
          point out that a dynamiclly included jspf-ragment is not a top level page.
          In Tomcat 4.x this is achived by adding a servlet mapping from *.jspf to the jspservlet
          in the default web.xml file.
          Where can I add an extra mapping from *.jspf to whatever *.jsp is mapped to in Weblogic
          6.1sp1?
