In that case, the only solution I can think of is to use a wrapper script
that calls your Java CGI program. This script (or bat file, or whatever)
need to get all environment variables and pass them to the Java program,
e.g. as regular command line arguments or as -D flags (so they end up
as System properties where the app can get them).
I'm sure you're already aware of the fact that running Java applications
as CGI is extremely inefficient. A new JVM must be started for each
request, and a JVM is a large process that takes time to initialize.
