Can't execute Java app through CGI in IIS

[rtgordon]

I downloaded ActivePerl, and I can execute cgi and perl scripts, but I can't execute (at least I think that it isn't executing) my java program. Based on my understanding... when you System.out.println from a java program through cgi, it dumps it out to the browser.

My classpath has the cgi-bin directory where my java program is, and the appropriate NT and IIS security settings are in place. Default user has read/execute on that dir, and cgi-bin is set to execute including script. I can navigate through DOS, and execute the program at the command line.

What could I possibly be missing?

This is the output

'E:\Inetpub\

http://wwwroot\cgi-bin\hello.cgi'

script produced no output

My java program (I am just trying to verify that you can do this):


public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String args[]) {
if (args.length <= 0) {
System.out.println(&quot;Hello World&quot;
} else { // there are command line arguments
for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
System.out.println(args);
}
}
}
}

My cgi without the long classpath:

#!/bin/sh
CLASSPATH=.:long_classpath_here:./
export CLASSPATH
java HelloWorld

I should have used the code tags...

that should be

System.out.println(args[i]);

not

System.out.println(args);

ahhh... I can see the light ;-)

duh, my classpath is way wrong. I can't do that. I executed it with the perl interpreter instead of just at the browser and saw the error of my ways. I realize this becomes more of a CGI problem at this point... but, I am confused about how to set this variable in such a fashion in the NT environment. If anyone can shed some light, or point me to a resource I would be very grateful... I can't find much on cgi and java in the NT world. I am having to learn and try from all of the Unix examples.
