Re: apache/tomcat question

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

If I understand correctly, you have a CGIDEV2 program that you want to 
"run" on Tomcat.  First of all, the Apache directives in Apache simply 
invoke the CGIDEV2 RPG programs, so really Apache is a server front end 
for your CGIDEV2 CGI programs (which Apache knows how to deal with).  I 
don't think that you can change the Tomcat plumbing to invoke your 
CGIDEV2 RPG programs, primarily because Tomcat is a Java server that 
serves Java servlets.

What is your interest in using Tomcat rather than Apache?  You can serve 
up multiple instances of the CGIDEV2 programs in Apache under different 
host/port combinations.  Is that what you are after?  Or do you have a 
java servlet (or EGL program) that you want to have "call" the CGIDEV2 
upload program you already have?
