abhagi:
Also, can one upload JSP files onto scripts.mit.edu?
geofft:
We do not run a Tomcat installation the same way we run an Apache httpd installation on scripts; Tomcat does not allow us to do security isolation between users in the same manner, so we cannot set up a multiuser installation. There is an Apache-httpd module (mod_proxy_ajp) that appears to allow running JSP scripts, but we are not yet sure whether this properly and securely isolates user accounts. We will try to take a look at this sometime soon and determine whether this method is a practical solution; other users have expressed some interest in running JSP pages on scripts.
