Constructor Details

CGIProcessEnvironment

public CGIProcessEnvironment(HttpServletRequest req,
                             ServletContext context)
Creates a ProcessEnvironment and derives the necessary environment, working directory, command, etc. The cgi path prefix is initialized to "" (the empty string).

Parameters:
req - HttpServletRequest for information provided by the Servlet API
context - ServletContext for information provided by the Servlet API


CGIProcessEnvironment

public CGIProcessEnvironment(HttpServletRequest req,
                             ServletContext context,
                             String cgiPathPrefix)
Creates a ProcessEnvironment and derives the necessary environment, working directory, command, etc.

Parameters:
req - HttpServletRequest for information provided by the Servlet API
context - ServletContext for information provided by the Servlet API
cgiPathPrefix - subdirectory of webAppRootDir below which the web app's CGIs may be stored; can be null or "".

                             int debug)

                             ServletContext context,
                             int debug)

Method Details

deriveProcessEnvironment

protected boolean deriveProcessEnvironment(HttpServletRequest req)
Constructs the CGI environment to be supplied to the invoked CGI script; relies heavliy on Servlet API methods and findCGI
Overrides:
deriveProcessEnvironment in interface ProcessEnvironment

Parameters:
req - request associated with the CGI invokation

Returns:
true if environment was set OK, false if there was a problem and no environment was set


findCGI

protected String[] findCGI(String pathInfo,
                           String webAppRootDir,
                           String contextPath,
                           String servletPath,
                           String cgiPathPrefix)
Resolves core information about the cgi script.

Example URI:

 /servlet/cgigateway/dir1/realCGIscript/pathinfo1 
  • path = $CATALINA_HOME/mywebapp/dir1/realCGIscript
  • scriptName = /servlet/cgigateway/dir1/realCGIscript
  • cgiName = /dir1/realCGIscript
  • name = realCGIscript

CGI search algorithm: search the real path below <my-webapp-root> and find the first non-directory in the getPathTranslated("/"), reading/searching from left-to-right.

The CGI search path will start at webAppRootDir + File.separator + cgiPathPrefix (or webAppRootDir alone if cgiPathPrefix is null).

cgiPathPrefix is usually set by the calling servlet to the servlet's cgiPathPrefix init parameter

Parameters:
pathInfo - String from HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo()
webAppRootDir - String from context.getRealPath("/")
contextPath - String as from HttpServletRequest.getContextPath()
servletPath - String as from HttpServletRequest.getServletPath()
cgiPathPrefix - subdirectory of webAppRootDir below which the web app's CGIs may be stored; can be null.

Returns:
  • path - full file-system path to valid cgi script, or null if no cgi was found
  • scriptName - CGI variable SCRIPT_NAME; the full URL path to valid cgi script or null if no cgi was found
  • cgiName - servlet pathInfo fragment corresponding to the cgi script itself, or null if not found
  • name - simple name (no directories) of the cgi script, or null if no cgi was found

getParameters

public Hashtable getParameters()
Gets process' derived query parameters

Returns:

toString

public String toString()
Print important CGI environment information in an easy-to-read HTML table
Overrides:
toString in interface ProcessEnvironment

Returns:
HTML string containing CGI environment info
