Fix Recommendation

Navigate to and open:

/usr/lib/vmware-eam/web/webapps/eam/WEB-INF/web.xml

Navigate to and locate the mapping for the JSP servlet. It is the <servlet-mapping> node that contains <servlet-name>JspServlet</servlet-name>.

Configure the <servlet-mapping> node to look like the code snippet below:

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>JspServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Restart the service with the following command:

# vmon-cli --restart eam

Check Contents

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# xmllint --format /usr/lib/vmware-eam/web/webapps/eam/WEB-INF/web.xml | sed 's/xmlns=".*"//g' | xmllint --xpath '/web-app/servlet-mapping/servlet-name[text()="JspServlet"]/parent::servlet-mapping' -

Expected result:

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>JspServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

If the output of the command does not match the expected result, this is a finding.
