And this was just plain wrong. Leave the default so that you're a bit more protected. In other words: <init-param> <param-name>cgiPathPrefix</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/cgi</param-value> </init-param> The servlet mapping will then work fine. Directories under WEB-INF/cgi will work as you would expect with the mapping given above. Sigh . . . sorry 'bout the other cgiPathPrefix init-param. . . . . just my two cents. /mde/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
