Running EXE CGI's from Tomcat 5.0.28
Is it possible to run EXE cgi's from Tomcat 5.0 on Win XP SP2?
I followed the instructions from
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/cgi-howto.html
But that left me wondering how to set the "executable" init-param in
web.xml. I tried "cmd" and "command", both with and without the /C
option, but to no avail. How do I do it? Do I need to set the
"parameterEncoding" parameter to something other than the default?
The web exe cgi is in the right location and the logs show that Tomcat
finds it. I don't think it's a permissions issue, I allowed Tomcat to
run as an admin user just to be sure and still have the problem.
I have spent hours searching through the net, but only found this (which
asks the same question, but provides no answer):

Thanks in advance for any help you can supply.

That's the solution. Thanks! Set executable to an empty string. Thanks!
