RE: CGI Servlet environmental variables

[Mark Thomas]

A couple of options:

1. Any query parameter or POSTed parameter should be passed to the CGI script on
the command line in the form perl arg1=value1 arg2=value2 etc
2. The latest CGI script from CVS (the one in 4.1.31 contains a JDK 1.4
dependency) supports passing enviroment parameters to the CGI script.

 Subject: CGI Servlet environmental variables
 
 Hi, 
 
 I've read through the documentation, and searched the 
 archives and can't
 find a solution to my problem. 
 
 We have apache2 with tomcat 4.1.27. When I was using mod_jk, we could
 uses aliases under apache with no problems, even with the 
 ROOT of tomcat
 mounted on the / of apache. 
 
 With JK2, this is not the case, so we're moving content into 
 the tomcat
 containers. 
 
 The hardest problem is the cgi-bin. I got the CGI Servlet 
 working after
 some work, and the scripts execute. But I need for Tomcat to pass a
 variable for DOCUMENT_ROOT to the perl scripts in the 
 cgi-bin that use
 it. Dumping the variables, I can see that it's not doing this. 
 
 Is there some way to make this variable available to the perl scripts,
 even if I have to set it manually in the environment? 
 
 This spans several scripts, so we'd want to set it globally for the
 server. 
 
 Thanks,
 Lisa
