As Tomcat is written in Java JSP and Servlet (with C code for native function calls to the underlying OS~this is at least for the majority on this list )This is the expertise we offer to you If its not written in Java such as fitting a CGI/CFM/PHP script or non Java class we're not saying its not possible but it will be more difficult and time consuming task to accomplish retrofitting an non Java package into a purely Java Framework..accordingly when speaking to your client you may want to consider a T&M approach to the task as making this situation operational may very well indeed 'take a while' No offence has been taken..

Sir, I in no way am implying that the members of this list have been derisive. I meant to state answers I found else where seemed dersive. I did find an example of a non-derisive "write it in Java". I sumbit to your attention: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-users/200310.mbox/%3cLLE [EMAIL PROTECTED] As well as: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Programming_Languages/Perl/Q _21216234.html For the above you have to pay/register for the solution, and I am leery of it, but it is an excellent example of my problem. Thank you all again for your help. I may just have to take a self-taught crash course in Java....or socket programming in Perl. :P V/R ~Warren Halstead David Smith wrote: Really?! I've been on this list for a while and do not recall such derisive comments. Perhaps a more optimistic approach would help. As to the problem, I don't use the setup you are attempting, so you are going to have to help with some more info. Specifically a code example and logs for the moment when the connection is attempted. Further, some information regarding the environment would also be helpful -- security settings, etc., ... It may be that the CGI is relying on environment variables that aren't available to the tomcat service. --David HALSTEAD SGT WARREN F wrote: > Good Afternoon, > > I am running Tomcat 5 with CGI enabled.
