favorite I folks:
I know that CGI is jurassic and before all of you call me lunatic, I must say that this question is only for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES (in real cases I use JSP).
I'm trying to code a "Hello World" CGI in Java, and I'm unsucessful.
So I try the same job in C#. Both programs (C# and Java) are totally equal (line by line). The C# works and the Java don't.
Here's the code in C#:
namespace CGI_CSharp
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Content-Type: text/html\n"); // the extra "\n" is needed
Console.WriteLine("<html>");
Console.WriteLine("<head>");
Console.WriteLine("<title>CGI - C#</title>");
Console.WriteLine("</head>");
Console.WriteLine("<body>");
Console.WriteLine("<h1>Hello World !</h1>");
Console.WriteLine("</body>");
Console.WriteLine("<html>");
}
}
}
In the browser URL I wrote: http://localhost/CGI_CSharp.exe and BINGO! The C# code WORKS !
Now the same code in Java:
public class CGI_Java
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println ("Content-Type: text/html\n");
System.out.println ("<html>");
System.out.println ("<head>");
System.out.println ("<title>CGI - Java</title>");
System.out.println ("</head>");
System.out.println ("<body>");
System.out.println ("<h1>Hello World !</h1>");
System.out.println ("</body>");
System.out.println ("</html>");
}
}
Now I've tried the URL:
http://localhost/java.exe%20CGI_Java
(as you know, the %20 is the space => (http://localhost/java.exe CGI_Java)
I get:
HTTP 404.0 - Not Found
So, I try again, now with a batch file (CGI_Java.bat) with a single line of text:
java.exe CGI_Java (content of the CGI_Java.bat)
And now, I try the URL:
http://localhost/CGI_Java.bat
Now the browser shows:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot>java.exe CGI_Java
This is the prompt followed by the command I wrote in the batch file.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance.
