Using .html files as JSPs

With 2 simple steps you can achieve this:

1. Add this servletmapping for the JSP servlet:

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

   This tells the application container to use the the JSP servlet when serving html files.

2. Comment out the <mime-mapping> for text/html mime type (*.html) files so that the container won’t handle HTML files as static content.

Hope this helps.
