How can a Servlet include content of a CGI

[Toni Grimm]

Hi all,   After searching the archives I'm still considering the following thing ...   Is it possible to include the generated content of a cgi-bin in a servlet and change this generated content?   The thing is ... I have to develop a Security-Module for a Reporting-Tool (third-party, DataWarehouse). The reports are generated through a cgi-bin which is called (with a number of parameters) every time you hit any link on any generated page.   Now I'd like to replace all links to the cgi with a link to my servlet. That means every time the user hits a link on any report my servlet gets involved and checks the requested URL against user rights (defined in a database). After this the servlet includes the content of the cgi (requested with a number of parameters) and replaces the links ...   Is URLConnection the right solution as mentioned by Markus Salchegger a few months ago? I did not find an answer to his question in the archive. Should I use as well a servlet chain for the replacement?   Any hints and design tips would be very much appreciated! Thanks in advance.   Toni
