Can you render a file without a .jsp extension as a JSP?

Question

Is it possible to tell a standard Java EE servlet container to interpret and render a file as a JSP even if it doesn\'t have a .jsp extension?

Say I have a file call

Answer 1

You can add the following configuration in your web.xml to make files ending with .xyz beeing processed as JSP:

    
        *.xyz
    

This solution is working with Tomcat and Websphere. And probably with any JEE compliant server container.
