I initially looked at CGIServlet, but I run the Apache http server, rather than using Tomcat's implementation. I also need to implement my own functionality (primarily for user authentication). But yes, this is close to what I'm after. I'm sure I can roll my own, but it would be nice to find an existing solution.
I just googled cgiservlet, and this may yield something useful. I will let you know.
