Hi all- I'm using Tomcat 4.01 on Win2k and I'm trying to get a server side include to work. I'm using the SSI "include virtual", and what I'm experiencing is that if I include a static file, it works (so I have taken the basic steps to get SSI working on Tomcat), but if I try to include the contents of another servlet, such as:
<!--#include virtual="/servlet/ipa.MenuServlet"--> ...I always get back "[an error occured processing this directive]". However, I know the include tag is valid, because if I configure my Apache to serve the shtml file (instead of passing the request to tomcat), then the SSI works. So I suspect that it is a problem with Tomcat's SSI handling. Can anyone confirm this? What's really odd is that I tried doing a <jsp:include page=...> on the same URI, it returns blank, i.e. no content inserted! But I know the URI itself is valid because I can cut and paste it into my browser and it returns my proper content. So is there a problem doing a jsp:include on a servlet as well? Does it matter that the servlet is in another context than this page? Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks! -Richard
