Features
In the Java Web Server, Server Side Includes (SSI) is just another way
to load and invoke local as well as remote servlets.
The syntax of a SSI tag is very similar to the applet tag. It
is as follows.
<servlet code=DateServlet.class codebase=http://blitz/ initParam1=val1 initParam2=val2>
<param name=serviceParam1 value=val3>
<param name=serviceParam2 value=val4>
.
.
</servlet>
The code is the name of the class file that is to be loaded. The codebase
parameter is optional, if present it could refer to a remote location for
the servlet. The rest of the line in the first servlet tag refers
to the init parameters for the servlet. A list of name-value pairs can also
be specified for request parameters before the closing /servlet
tag.
What does the Client see?
In the example presented above, the contents of the file up to the
servlet tag would be sent to the client unmodifed. Then the DateServlet
will be loaded from http://blitz and invoked with the appropriate init
and request parameters. The output of the DateServlet is embedded into the
response. The contents of the file after the ending servlet tag is then
appended unmodified.
Files Searched for SSI
Only files with a "*.shtml" extension are searched for SSI tags.
This is the default setting and can be changed using the JavaServer
Administration. To connect to JavaServer Administration, type:
