For the record, the documentation actually does say it. You need to know
what mime types are though.
*contentType* - A regex pattern that must be matched before SSI processing
is applied. When crafting your own pattern, don't forget that a mime content
type may be followed by an optional character set in the form "mime/type;
charset=set" that you must take into account. Default is
"text/x-server-parsed-html(;.*)?".
Green emphisis assuming the mailing list allows html mail is mine.
Also as a side note you can have multiple mappings for one filter.So in
production based on your requirements I'd do the following
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ssi</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.html</url-
pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ssi</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm</url-
pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ssi</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-
pattern>
</filter-mapping>
That should fix it. In case your wondering what mime types that are used
in tomcat they are all listed in the web.xml in the conf subfolder of
tomcat.
