Configuring SSI in Tomcat 6.0

I'm trying to configure SSI with Apache Tomcat 6.0. Following this http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/ssi-howto.html,

I have removed the comments aroud the ssiServlet in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml开发者_运维技巧.

Also setup the previleged = "true" in context tag found in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/context.xml

After setting this up, i tried to start the server ( i havent deployed any webapplications yet) and im getting this exception -

Filter of class org.apache.catalina.ssi.SSIFilter is privileged and cannot be loaded by this web application

Am I missing something?

Though this is a pretty late reply for this question, I am posting the solution that I found and worked for me. Hope this helps someone in future.

It is not a good idea to edit enable SSI in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/web.xml file as it will break all the applications in your $CATALINA_BASE/webapps folder.

Best is to copy the web.xml file to $CATALINA_BASE/webapps/yourapp/WEB-INF/ folder and enable SSI directives there in.

Also set the privileged=true in $CATALINA_BASE/webapps/yourapp/META-INF/context.xml file.

I have detailed my steps and attached a copy of the files with correct values here.

Hope this helps!

Firstly, is

previleged = "true"

in your question a typo? Because it should be privileged="true". Tomcat won't complain about this, but the context won't be privileged and SSI won't be allowed.

Secondly, you say you've enabled the SSI servlet, but the error refers to the SSI filter. You should be using one or the other, but not both.
