With 5.0.x: You can't use the CGI servlet. You would need to write your own servlet that wraps the .exe using java.lang.Runtime.exec() http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-tomcat-catalina/catalina/src/share/org/apache/catalina/servlets/CGIServlet.java?view=markup should provide some pointers on how to wrap exec() (search the source for "exec" and remember that most of the CGIServlet is unnecessary for what you want to do. With 5.5.x: You *might* have some luck setting the new executable init parameter. I would try "" or "cmd". --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
