I've finally managed to get cgi working in Tomcat. Now I need to forward from a servlet to a cgi page. But both RequestDispatcher.forward and RequestDispatcher.include are failing. I'm not surprised that include does but I thought it might be possible with forward.
Since this is part of a large application that keeps track of the session I'd like to be able to include the cgi page in the application. But I'm beginning to think that's not possible. So I wonder if anyone knows whether it's possible to forward to a cgi page within the same Tomcat webapp. If not I'll save myself a lot of trouble and just make it a separate webapp with just a cgi component. Thanks for any advice. Ken P.S. I'm using cgi with perl because I can't find a class to add IPTC information to a Jpg and I don't have time to write it myself. Such a module does already exist in Perl.
