Map *.html to JSP engine?

[brienv]

I'm a new JBoss user and I'm trying to migrate our OrionServer apps over to JBoss. I need to map *.html to the same processor/handler that *.jsp goes to. Can anyone tell me where to set that when using JBossWeb?

Thanks for any help,

find the webdefaults.xml in .../deploy/jbossweb.sar/org.mortbay.jetty.jar.

These are the default settings for all webapps.

study the declarations that map *.jsp to the Jasper jsp engine.

put something similar in your app's WEB-INF/web.xml to map *.html to Jasper.

Good luck,

That worked perfectly. Thanks much for the help!

I had searched the .xml files in the directories I could find, looking for any reference to a JSP mapping, but hadn't thought to look inside of jetty.jar.

I found that copying the servlet definition caused JBoss to generate errors when it tried to recompile the JSP servlet but if I just referenced the JSP servlet by the name already defined in the jetty.jar/web.xml then it worked fine. For the record, this is what I ended up adding to my web.xml :

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>JSP</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>


Thanks again,

I will be moving the webdefault.xml out of this jar, to give easier access.

Glad I could help,
