Apache behaves like a proxy server when it sees jsp requests. It just forwards the jsp request to Tomcat. When Tomcat finishes generating a response, it passes it to Apache which then serves the response back to the client *without parsing it*. Apache can parse, only, static requests. So all those who have been telling you to use jsp includes (dynamic) are correct. You could, of course, use static includes (<%@ include ="filename"%>. Reduces response time. Some additional info: You could use ssi includes with Tomcat. I'm not sure though since I haven't tried it. I think it looks for a particular file extension, namely *.shtml, and parses only those files. But anyway, if you wish to experiment, look under the TOMCAT_HOME/server/lib directory for "servlets-ssi.renametojar". Rename it to "servlets-ssi.jar". Uncomment the " "Server Side Includes" section in TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml. Test it out.

I have a problem concerning Apache + Tomcat + mod_jk + SSI (server side includes): I want to place a SSI in a html-page which is dynamically generated by a jsp-page. In static html-files (in those in my Apache htdocs-directory) SSI are working perfectly, but as soon as the page is generated by Tomcat, the SSI-directives are just sent to the browser, but not evaluated. So for my problem Apache would have to let Tomcat handle the jsp-Request first and then parse the generated document for SSI-directives --- how could I configure it to do so??? In the archives I found some questions like this one, but I have not seen a solution posted for this problem yet ... only some people proposing to use jsp:includes instead, but I really DO want Apache to handle these includes (performance)!!! Is there a solution for my configuration (Apache 1.3 + Tomcat 3.2.3) or for a different configuration (like Apache 2.0 + Tomcat 4.0) ???
