I've
done something exactly like this when interfacing to an OLAP web front-end, when
I wanted to replace what their CGI program sent back with a more
formatted/customized version on the way to the browser. I didn't use servlet
chaining, just had a servlet that called the CGI, modified the content the way I
wanted & sent it on to the browser. Worked great. I can forward you sample
code off-list if you like.

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
