JBoss-4.2.2GA SSI

[edgoquist]

I'm trying to install the latest stable version of JBoss - jboss-4.2.2GA - and I'm having a problem with server-side-includes. The documentation says:

 <!-- IMPORTANT: To use the SSI servlet, you also need to rename the -->
 <!-- $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib/servlets-ssi.renametojar file -->
 <!-- to $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib/servlets-ssi.jar -->

Assuming that CATALINA_HOME is .../jboss-4.2.2GA/server/default/deploy/jboss-web.deployer, the SSI jar file doesn't exist. The directory. $CATALINA_HOME/server doesn't even exist.

I'm upgrading from JBoss 4.0 which came with tomcat integrated right into it. Do I now have to install tomcat separately? If so, how?

What's the deal? How do you get SSI to work with JBoss4.2?

Can anyone at least tell me where to find servlets-ssi.renametojar?

[edgoquist]

It doesn't exist. The org.apache.catalina.ssi package is bundled in jbossweb.jar. All you need to do is uncomment the < servlet> and <servlet-mapping> sections in CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml and make appropriate mods.

But when I do that I get:

SecurityException: Servlet of class org.apache.catalina.ssi.SSIServlet is privileged and cannot be loaded by this web application

[edgoquist]

That's because, by default, web apps are not allowed to use container servlets. You need to grant your app that privilege. Here's more info:
