Question

I’m starting Jetty from inside the Java program itself. I’m simply trying to get it to point at a cgi-folder that I’ve placed underneath the package directory (/src/package/cgi-bin)

The problem is that every time I start up the server, it complains “no CGI bin!”. Where is the correct location to put your cgi-bin and point at it? This is what I have:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    // The core Jetty server running on 8080
    Server server = new org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server(8080);

    // Setup CGI routing
    ServletContextHandler context2 = new ServletContextHandler(ServletContextHandler.SESSIONS);
    context2.setContextPath("/");
    context2.setInitParameter("commandPrefix", "perl");

    // Where does this point to? 
    context2.setInitParameter("cgibinResourceBase", "cgi-bin");
    server.setHandler(context2);

    // Add the CGI Servlet
    context2.addServlet(new ServletHolder(new Cgi()), "/cgi");

    server.start();
    server.join();
}

See Jetty setInitParameter is NOT initializing any parameter for the answer to this question.

Answer 1

Via Jetty setInitParameter is NOT initializing any parameter

The problem is that I was setting the parameter on the context, when I should have been setting it on the ServletHolder
