Tomcat running cgi?

[Joseph Lupo <JL...@alsysinc.com>]

We currently run our application on Tomcat 4, but we also are running an
application (Big Brother) that needs to run CGI scripts.  I want to try to
drop Apache entirely since it is only there to handle the Big Brother
semi-static pages.  Is it possible to run these from Tomcat?

By the way, I am the sys admin here, not the Tomcat developer.  I don't
really know too much, but I'm trying to figure it out from the
documentation.
Thank you,
Joe

In theory, yes. Go to the web.xml config file

("/Library/WebServer/tomcat/conf/web.xml" on my machine) and you will see
commented out *2* sections dealing with CGI - you also have to rename a
file. It's all detailed in the web.xml file.

In practice, I haven't been able to get included CGI's to work. CGI's yes,
Includes, yes. But not included CGI's. I've asked around and I haven't heard
of anyone who has either. Perhaps someone here can set me straight.
