Java Forum / General / October 2006How can i set up Tomcat so it processes *.asp files as JSP?
Hi All, In one of our Web Applications, we do have URL(s) which end with .ASP extensions such as the following: http://www.webcommerce.com/display.asp But we would like if those URL(s) end, with .JSP extensions, because when click to the link above, it should map to JSP file, called display.jsp. My question is: How can we configure Apache's httpd.conf file, so that it can convince tomcat, to consider all URL(s) ending with .ASP extensions as .JSP files? Thanks! Tomcat is a servlet container that runs JSPs and servlets. ASP is Active Server Pages, meant to be run under IIS. Renaming extentions will not automatically convert ASP code into JSP if that is what you want. What do you mean by when you click on a .asp it should map to a .jsp? Do you have JSPs with extension .asp sitting on your server ? -cheers, Manish > Tomcat is a servlet container that runs JSPs and servlets. ASP is > Active Server Pages, meant to be run under IIS.

On my Apache/Tomcat Server, I only have JSP files, off course, all ending with the .jsp extension. So, my problem is that I must enter the URL ending with .asp extension, in the Internet explorer Browser's address, to login to that JSP Web Application. For example to access the following login.jsp page, in my Apache/Tomcat Server, I would have to enter like this: http://localhost/login.asp, instead of http://localhost/login.jsp Thanks for your help! Thanks for the clarifications! Did you take a look at mod_alias in apache, specially the RedirectMatch directive? From the documentation it looks like something you can use in this situation. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_alias.html -cheers, Manish > Thanks for the clarifications! > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > -cheers, > Manish Manish, thanks! I will take a look, it seems Simon provided a solution for my task too! > So, my problem is that I must enter the URL ending with .asp extension, > in the Internet explorer Browser's address, to login to that JSP Web > Application. Maybe this is a noobie question, but I'm darn curious: *WHY* do you have to enter your login as http://example.com/login.asp ? Is there some reason IE rejects anything ending in .jsp? > > So, my problem is that I must enter the URL ending with .asp extension, > > in the Internet explorer Browser's address, to login to that JSP Web [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > *WHY* do you have to enter your login as http://example.com/login.asp ? > Is there some reason IE rejects anything ending in .jsp? Mark, that URL ending with .ASP extenstion is hardcoded in a different application and I can't change it! Are your .asp files really JSPs? If so, you can map ALL .asp extensions to act like JSPs using the following: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.asp</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> If your .asp files are really ASPs, you'd need something like iASP to get them to work in a J2EE container. I think the answer you are looking for is outside of httpd.conf in Apache and in your servlet container. I'm not sure what app server you are using, but you would want to add that servlet-mapping to the default web.xml file for that app server...the location of this file varies by product. -Mike On Oct 10, 8:21 pm, aru...@yahoo.com wrote: > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Thanks!

Yes, I tried your suggestion few days ago, it's not working! It seems to be a half of the solution. The other half is that Apache's httpd.conf needs to be configured, to make it work! To respond to your question, yes all my files are JSP files ending with .jsp extension, off course! See my response to Manish! I am running Apache and Tomcat in my Window 2000 Server! Thanks for your help! > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > it can convince tomcat, to consider all URL(s) ending with .ASP > extensions as .JSP files? This is a job for mod_rewrite: damned cool voodoo. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html That way you can map '.asp' onto '.jsp' so either will work.
