Subject: How to do CGI programming in Tomcat5.5
Gi,
Can you please point me to a link where it clearly says in step by step
way
how to do cgi programming with tomcat5.5 with some examples.
The Documentation of tomcat 5.5 is not that much helpful, very brief
without
any examples.
Also I am unable to make cgi-servlet up. I tried the steps mentioned in
apache 5.5 documentation.
Can anyone please tell me if CGI server is must to be deployed to do CGI
programming?
If you need error messages, I'll give you.
Thank you.

If you google for Perl Tomcat... you'll get lucky...
I tried it for fun in NetBeans....
Create a new web project...
In the web.xml file add this...
<servlet>
<servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>0</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>cgiPathPrefix</param-name>
<param-value>WEB-INF/cgi</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>5</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/cgi-bin/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Under the web-inf folder create /cgi folder
Go to where Tomcat is installed...
under server/lib
find
servlets-ssi.renametojar
and
servlets-cgi.renametojar
do that make em .jar
You in business... but thats where I stopped ;)
You need to get perl and install it on the machine... I imagine it must be
in the path
And find yourself some perl script...
TC help http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/cgi-howto.html
describes the same thing...
Have fun.... then get into servlets asap ;)
