I get this with both Tomcat 3.2.1 and 3.2.2.
I'm using JDK 1.2.2.
No error message appears. I just get the full text of the JSP file as if it were a
text file (i.e. NO preprocessing at all) when I access /basic/login.tem
Here are excerpts from the stderr.log (I've got Tomcat setup as a 2000 service on my
development machine). The log shows two contexts: 1) /basic where no special JSP
setup has been made, but the changes to the DEFAULT web.xml have been made. 2)
/teacherapplication where the exact same <servlet-mapping> tag in the default web.xml
was also placed in the APPLICATION's web.xml.
Log excerpt # 1)
2001-06-15 12:57:21 - ContextManager: SimpleMapper1: SM: extension map /basic/*.jsp Ct
(jsp(org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet/null) )
Log excerpt # 2)
2001-06-15 12:57:21 - ContextManager: SimpleMapper1: SM: extension map
/teacherapplication/*.jsp Ct (jsp(org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet/null) )
2001-06-15 12:57:21 - ContextManager: SimpleMapper1: SM: extension map
/teacherapplication/*.tem Ct (jsp(org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet/null) )
The log seems to show that there isn't an extension mapping being created for all
contexts - just the one where I explicitly told it to in the APPLICATION web.xml.
That's why I'm wondering if Tomcat is *supposed* to create the extension mapping based
on the default web.xml, or if it's only supposed to use the DEFAULT provided with
Tomcat without changes (i.e. is this a bug or a feature).

I have a quick question about how the default web.xml found in the conf directory is
supposed to act. The Tomcat User's guide says it acts as a default web.xml for all
web applications. I tried to add the following to it:
<servlet-mapping> <!-- This was there by default -->
<servlet-name>
jsp
</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>
*.jsp
</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping> <!-- I added this -->
<servlet-name>
jsp
</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>
*.tem
</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
because we wanted to logically separate our JSP files used as templates from those
providing major content. However, accessing a valid JSP file that's been renamed with
a .tem extension returns only the actual file contents instead of being translated as
a JSP. The same <servlet-mapping> tag works perfectly in an application's web.xml.
Am I supposed to be able to modify the web.xml in the conf directory and have it
affect all applications, or is it only supposed to work with the one that comes with
Tomcat by default?
Thanks,
