I'd like to use some basic CGI in my webapp but I don't want to rely on server admins to set it up per the directions of the how to (found at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/cgi-howto.html). When I follow those directions, everything works fine, however I'd like to put the CGIServlet definition into my own webapp.
To do this, I simply put the servlet definitions into my own web.xml, and then put the servlets-cgi.jar into my own lib. When doing this, I get a ClassNotFound exception on CGIServlet. At first I was pretty stumped by this, because I was sure the classes were there to be found, but after digging a bit deeper, I think it was just a bad exception. I'm guessing the reason I'm getting the error is because CGIServlet.jar imports two other classes: import org.apache.catalina.Globals; import org.apache.catalina.util.IOTools; Those classes are located in catalina.jar and catalina-optional.jar, respectively, which are both in servert/lib, which aren't visible to webapps. I can try putting those two jars into my webapp, but it is likely to cascade and those jars need jars, etc. So, my question is, what would be the best approach for getting the CGISerlet into my own webapp without having to set it up at a global level? Or maybe I'm wrong in my ClassNotFound diagnosis?
