Running .jsp as a .html file

Question

I created a jsp page that works fine when executed in tomcat. But when I change my file extension to .html, it shows nothing. Is there a way I can run .jsp with the .html extension for files

Answer 1

add

<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> 

in web.xml

Answer 2

The accepted answer did not help me. I got something working for a specific html page though (index.html)

  <servlet> <servlet-name>IndexServlet</servlet-name> <jsp-file>/index.jsp</jsp-file> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>IndexServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/index.html</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
