Re: Using JSPs as SSIs

That is the question isn't it.  In theory I don't see why it shouldn't - a
JSP is just a "different" CGI program and you can certainly invoke a CGI
program as an SSI.

Well, SSI means "server-side include", which means the CGI and the JSP would
have to at a minimum be served from the same machine.  However, I have some
doubts as to whether the CGI SSI processor would be able to pass the request
through to the JSP, although I guess that's a function of Apache.

As I noted offline, Jon, if the two applications are indeed on the same
server you could use Ajax to meld them together with about ten lines of
JavaScript.
