Hello Vibha!

VJ> 1. Is it possible to forward a request to a cgi script?
As far as I know not in the current version of JSP/Servlet specs,
not untill our Servlet containers start running cgi scripts
themselves. (Donno if it's going to be a very usefull thing,
anyway a common setup is Tomcat+Apache and Apache should
generally be better at running cgi-s then Tomcat)

VJ> 2. How do I give teh absolute path, as they are on different machines?
Use a special taglib to _inlclude_ output of the cgi script
into your page, I know that the JSPT early access taglibs
has such features (it is available from
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-taglibs/releases/standard/jakarta-taglibs-standard-ea3.zip)
But it is early access - take it unstable, untested, going to change.
Another one I know of is the 'scrape' taglib at jakarta-taglibs,
it is somewhere around http://jakarta.apache.org.

Maybe someone can supply you with better links, I'm sure
there should be plenty of such taglibs around.

Best regards, Anton
