Re: CGI environment vars

[Tim Funk]

I haven;t seen this discussed yet, you are exporting your variables in setenv.sh AND setenv.sh is located in $CATALINA_HOME/bin?

Example:
--------
export WACKY=very

or

ANSWER=42
export ANSWER
--------

running environment but is not transferred to the CGIServlet's exec
environment.

What about setting the variable yourself in the catalina.sh script? If that doesn't work, make sure that the variable is exported (so that it remains in the super shell when the sub shell exits). Example:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.../.../ld.so; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH;

(which is also the case when trying to run it in a shell without having
LD_LIBRARY_PATH set appropriately).

how about you do it yourself, I assume that you launch your CGI script
using Runtime.exec
in that case, use the method that

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html

take a look at

Runtime.exec(java.lang.String,java.lang.String[],java.io.File)

Tomcat 4.1.18 : UMN Mapserver CGI

I have a CGI which needs to see the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" to get to shared
libraries to run.  However, I can't seem to get whatever shell that

Tomcat

uses to run CGIs seeded with that variable.

I tried putting it in the "setenv.sh" which is checked for and used in
catalina.sh, but that doesn't seem to have any effect on CGIs.

Anyone have an idea?
