Aswering to myself...
Pierrick Brihaye a Ãcrit :
I can't find any valuable help in the list archives. The passShellEnvironment init-parameter, which has a very promising name ;-), seems to be applicable to 4.1 releases only (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/cgi-howto.html).
Everything is OK when passShellEnvironment is used with the JDK 1.4/Windows 98 unfriendly version 5.5.4. Great !
5.5.4 runs quite happily for me on JDK 1.4 (heck I do all of my 5.5.x development work on a 1.4 JDK). Can't say the same for Windows 98 - I use XP.
Shouldn't the non-support of passShellEnvironment be mentionned in the 5.0.x docs ?
That fact it isn't mentioned is a pretty big hint ;).
Seriously, I do not think it is realistic to document everything that isn't implemented in one version that is in another. It leads to a unmaintainable mess of documentation.
BTW, I am pretty certain that if you take a cgiservlet.jar from 5.5.x and replace the one you downloaded with 5.0.x it will work quite happily.
