All,

Resurrecting this thread from 2019.

I'd like to remove the SSI configuration from conf/web.xml and put it
into webapps/docs/ssi-howto.html.

Are there any objections?

None here.

Do we want to go further and consider removing it entirely for Tomcat 12
onwards. Maybe a question for the users list?

I need to admit that there are situations where SSI might be prefered over JSP.
Example: I needed limited flexibility for some Asciidoctor generated documents 
dependening whether it is QA or prod. I didn't want to generate multiple sets 
of documents (reduce complexity). Now some lines of SSI display a proper QA 
banner. Good enough for the job. Getting JSP or PHP output with Asciidoctor is 
almost impossible.

It's entirely possible to separate SSI into a different project. I didn't do it because it uses helper-classes in Tomcat for certain things.

But if SSI is desirable, it can be packaged separately at the cost of some additional support classes/methods being copied outside of Tomcat.

I don't want to support it anymore, but it should be easy *for someone else* to extract and bundle separately :)
