I don't know the answer to your problem, but a couple
gueses/suggestions:  Could it be an issue with passing arguments? 
Have you tried replacing your exec cmd with
/path/to/footerheaderscript-showheader (another script that simply
executes your script with the correct arguments)?

As using the arguments does work for the plain CGI script, I don't know why
it wouldn't work for the output from the JSP, but I'll try it ---thanks.

I have tried putting the "exec cmd" directive into an HTML page, including
an SSI directive in the JSP output for the HTML page instead of the "exec
cmd", and Apache will process the HTML file for the "exec cmd" and run it
properly.  However, that's another workaround that I want to avoid if I can.

Regards,
Joel
