Hi

Declared  in  webapps/ PERL_TOOLS_SITE / WEB-INF/web.xml

for CGI Perl  execution as given below,

<servlet>
<servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>0</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>cgiPathPrefix</param-name>
<param-value>WEB-INF/cgi</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>


<!-- The mapping for the CGI Gateway servlet -->

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/cgi-bin/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>



http://localhost:8080/PERL_TOOLS_SITE/cgi/hello.cgi

Unsuccessful   :  HTTP Status 404 - /PERL_TOOLS_SITE/cgi/hello.cgi

http://localhost:8080/PERL_TOOLS_SITE/cgi-bin/hello.cgi

Hi,


<servlet>
<servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>               (----3-----)
<servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet</servlet-class>
(----4-----)
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>        (----2-----)
<url-pattern>/cgi-bin/*</url-pattern>   (----1-----)
</servlet-mapping>

The Http servlet request's context path (/cgi-bin) is checked first in
servlet mapping(1) and if one found , tomcat obtains the name of the
servlet(2).
Using the name of the servlet (3) it find the name of the class to
execute(4)

http://localhost:8080/PERL_TOOLS_SITE/cgi/hello.cgi

Unsuccessful   :  HTTP Status 404 - /PERL_TOOLS_SITE/cgi/hello.cgi

>> no mapping available for cgi in servlet-mapping element

http://localhost:8080/PERL_TOOLS_SITE/cgi-bin/hello.cgi

Successful : How ?

>> maping available inside servlet-mppaing element

Thanks,
Thanga
