| 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 identify which file types are not to be delivered to a client. By not specifying which files can and cannot be served to a user, the web server could deliver to a user web server configuration files, log files, password files, etc. Because Tomcat is a Java-based web server, the main file extension used is *.jsp. This check ensures the *.jsp and *.jspx file types have been properly mapped to servlets. |

| At the command prompt, run the following command: # xmllint --format /usr/lib/vmware-perfcharts/tc-instance/conf/web.xml | sed 's/xmlns=".*"//g' | xmllint --xpath '/web-app/servlet-mapping/servlet-name[text()="jsp"]/parent::servlet-mapping' - Expected result: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern> <url-pattern>*.jspx</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> If the output of the command does not match the expected result, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Navigate to and open: /usr/lib/vmware-perfcharts/tc-instance/conf/web.xml Inside the <web-app> parent node, add the following: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern> <url-pattern>*.jspx</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> Restart the service with the following command: # vmon-cli --restart perfcharts |
