In my case option 1 is the easiest. I already tried some things here and I don't run into the same problem.

Patrik, So I am not alone. Here are the possible soultions I came up with, hopefully they help. 1. If just a few cgi scripts and they are simple, port them to Java. 2. Integrate Tomcat with Apache, then you don't need to modify the cgi scripts. However, the server configuration becomes more complicated. 3. Hack the useCGI servlet, I am not sure this works. 4. Just port the email portion to java and write it as a filter servlet, which postprocess the requests after your CGI. (This is the one I would like to try but did not try yet). Patrick Willart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Laurence, I have the same problem and could not figure it out. It seems that the CGI program isn't allowed to open a new socket. You could try to enable the Security Manager and set it up so it allows for opening sockets. However, I don't believe CGI scripts/programs are affected by the Security Manager. Also my CGI program isn't allowed to open a new socket with the Security Manager disabled, so I don't think it will help. I posted the problem on this list yesterday but didn't get back any response. If you figure out a way to get it working please let me know. I wasted a couple of days on it and am currently working on porting the CGI app to Java. grts, Patrick -----Original Message----- From: Lawence [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 12:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Send mail cgi script doesn't work under tomcat? Dear all, I know not too many did this before. I enabled cgi support of Tomcat instead of integrating it to apache. Everything worked fine for the old cgi scripts except one fatal thing: the email script failed. Seemed to me Tomcat has some security restriction on openning socket to communicate with a smtp server. Hence all the sendmail perl modules I tried failed at the very first step, trying to connect to the smtp server. I tried those modules as perl scripts instead of cgis under tomcat on the same machie, they all worked perfectly. Anyone knows how to get around this in tomcat?
