Just came across something interesting in WebLogic's docs: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>CGIServlet</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/cgi-bin/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> Is there support for CGI's available or planned for jboss-tomcat? r.b. |

That's really a question for the Tomcat list. It would certainly be possible to build a servlet that runs a CGI script, but from my experience execing from Java can be a bit dodgy when it comes to error conditions. Not to mention being the worst way possible to do dynamic web content (flog your server!). -danch Richard Bottoms wrote: > Just came across something interesting in WebLogic's docs: > > <servlet-mapping> > <servlet-name>CGIServlet</servlet-name> > <url-pattern>/cgi-bin/*</url-pattern> > </servlet-mapping> > > Is there support for CGI's available or planned for jboss-tomcat? > > > r.b. > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > JBoss-user mailing list > JBo...@li... > http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user > |

the thing to remember here is that weblogic is several containers... its an EJB container, a servlet/jsp container and it also does HTML. (and jsp, and such) OTOH jboss doesnt concern itself with any of the web containers. it is, for the most part and to newbies can be viewed mostly as, an EJB container. The web containers used, whether they be tomcat or jetty, or some other structure including apache, are not within its domain. Sure the integration with tomcat and jetty bring JBoss much closer to the "grail of jboss-tomcat-apache" but JBoss itself is primarily an EJB container.

Jetty comes with a CGI Servlet.

Ah, neat, that's something I've been wondering how to do :) The only thing stopping us from using JBoss/Tomcat for everything in our development environment is the lack of cgi support. Didn't think of writing a CGIServlet.

Besides, some jobs involve replacing CGI's with JSP's/Servlets so making it possible to have CGI's run, at least temporarily is helpful. Just because a directory says cgi-bin, doesn't necessarily mean that Perl scripts are what's running there. BTW, is there some switch to force parsing .html instead of, or in addition to the .jsp extension? It's a feature of PHP I found useful. r.b. |
