I'm running an instance of Tomcat 5.5.15 on an WinXP machine as a test dev 
environment. I'm building .shtml pages and includes on the XP machine and just 
want to have a local server to test pages without having to upload pages every 
time to a remote server on my ISP. I'm also interested in learning more about 
JSP and Servlets (for another client's project) even though I'm not a Java 
developer.
 
 I was able to d-load, install and startup Tomcat on the XP machine and 
configure it to enable SSI. The server runs fine with HTML, sample servlets and 
JSPs.  For SSI, according to the help files I changed the name of an SSI 
servlet and removed the comments around the XML for the SSI servlet mapping. I 
thought I got everything right, but I'm not seeing the pages displayed 
correctly. I developed some simple .shtml pages in a dir. on the server and 
when I point to the correct URL, the browser (Firefox) tries to open or save 
the file. I believe I got the CLASSPATH set properly as well as the environment 
variables.  

Lastly, this exercise has gotten me learning about JSP includes, which I might 
use instead.  I'm just stubborn enough to want to figure out why it's not 
working with straight .SHTML   

Thanks in advance,
