Description
Resource mapping is the process of tying a particular file type to a process in the web server that can serve that type of file to a requesting client and to identify which file types are not to be delivered to a client. By not specifying which files can and which files cannot be served to a user, the web server could deliver to a user web server configuration files, log files, password files, etc. As a derivative of the Apache Tomcat project, tc Server is a java-based web server. As a result, the main file extension used by tc Server is .jsp. This check ensures that the .jsp file type has been properly mapped to servlets.

Navigate to and open /etc/vcac/web.xml. Navigate to and locate the mapping for the JSP servlet. It is the node that contains jsp. Configure the node to look like the code snippet below: jsp .jsp .jspx
