Figured out how to do perl/cgi in orion, and wow was it easy.
In the web.xml for my application I added the lines:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.evermind.server.http.CGIServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>cgi</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.cgi</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
(I tried getting using the url-pattern 'cgi-bin/*.cgi' but it didn't
seem to work.)
Just to make things work like my usual Apache setup I created a new
web site on a funky port by adding the following lines in server.xml:
<application
name="gts-rc4"
path="/export/home/shea/work/dev/rc4/nova/war/dist"
/>
<web-site path="./gts-rc4.xml" />
and creating the gts-rc4.xml file to the orion/config directory:
<web-site
host="[ALL]"
port="8185"
display-name="gts-rc4"
secure="false"
>
<!-- The default web-app for this site, bound to the root -->
<default-web-app application="default" name="defaultWebApp" />
<web-app application="gts-rc4" name="web" root="/" />
<!-- Access Log, where requests are logged to -->
<access-log path="/var/orion/log/gts-rc4-access.log" />
</web-site>
This is a development site or it would be on port 80.
All that remained to do was to make sure that all the html and cgi
stuff was in the dist/web directory (dist from the application path,
web from the web-app name (?)).
Nice. It would have been even nicer with doc, of course, but hey,
this ain't bad!
