What Java Needs Most To Be The Preferred Web 2.0 LanguageSeptember 25th, 2006 Many would think at this point I am talking about better AJAX support in the core. While we do need better support for AJAX and I am not talking about DWR, I don't think that's what ails Java in its quest for being.

JInvite - Java Invitation APIApril 10th, 2008 JInvite is a simple Java API which makes it easy to add invite capabilities to Java - the ability for existing members of your web service to invite other members.

Don’t forget to uncomment the servlet-mapping for cgi
December 11th, 2004 at 2:11 pm
I did at the bottom.

I had to specify an executable init param equal to the full path of perl in order to get this to work.
executable
full path of perl
I am not sure why I had to do this since perl should already be in the path. I’m running TomCat 5 on Windows XP Professional.
April 4th, 2005 at 3:14 pm
@Giles Specifying full-path looks logical to me. Java doesn’t invoke executables by looking at the path variable.
May 6th, 2005 at 1:43 am
Add
executable
or (windows xp)
executable
cmd /c
May 6th, 2005 at 1:47 am
add
param-name=executable
value=
or (windows xp)
param-name=executable
value=cmd /c
May 6th, 2005 at 1:49 am
Directly add executables including batch files.
However if your want to execute cmd commands like dir then you will have to use cmd /c dir.

I have been trying to put perl scripts in webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/cgi-bin:
A) printEnv.cgi
#!/usr/bin/perl
print “Content-type: text/html\n\n”;
print “\n”;
foreach $key (sort keys(%ENV)) {
print “$key = $ENV{$key}”;
}
B) Changes to web.xml
cgi
org.apache.catalina.servlets.CGIServlet
executable
/usr/bin/perl
clientInputTimeout
100
debug
6
cgiPathPrefix
WEB-INF/cgi-bin
5
cgi
/cgi-bin/*
D) Renamed to servlets-cgi.jar
E) Restarted server
But when I do:
http://mydomain/cgi-bin/printEnv.cgi
it does not go to the URL
April 28th, 2006 at 12:24 pm
The steps have worked perfectly for many including myself.
Unfortunately I don’t have time at this moment to support your specific issue.

Hi,
I followed the steps but I cannot start bat file as cgi script on WinXP. The error is: “java.io.IOException: Cannot run program “perl” (in directory “C:\Program Files\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\test\WEB-INF\cgi”)
I tried to add
param-name=executable
value=cmd /c
or param-name=executable
value=cmd
but without success. Any ideas?

test.cgi is :
#!\perl\bin\perl.exe
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "IN TEST!\n";
print "\n";
print "IN TEST!\n";
print "\n";
Store Location of test.cgi is : webapps/test/
Output in http://localhost:8080/test/test.cgi
#!\perl\bin\perl.exe print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "\n"; print "\n"; print "
IN TEST!
\n"; print "\n";
