You would modify the JspInterceptor entry in server.xml to say useJspServlet="true". Unfortunately, there is a bug in Tomcat 3.3(a) the prevents this from working by default. This has been fixed in Tomcat 3.3.1-rc1.
The bug is that jasper.jar and tools.jar aren't made available to the web application classloader. If you can't upgrade to 3.3.1-rc1 (as stable as 3.3a and fewer bugs), then a temporary workaround can be used if your web application(s) don't have their own XML parser. I believe the following should work: 1. Add jaxpJars="jaxp.jar:crimson.jar:xalan.jar:xerces.jar:jasper.jar" to the LoaderInterceptor11 entry in server.xml. This includes jasper.jar with the auto-added XML parser. 2. Copy tools.jar from your "jre/lib" directory to the "lib/apps" or "lib/common" directory in your Tomcat 3.3 installation.
