Running CGI executable in weblogic 6.1

Question

Hi,
I am trying to run the CGI executable(m/c code)
"test.exe" located in
<web-root>/mqconnect/scripts using weblogic 6.1(SP5)
I have made the following changes to web.xml:
------ web.xml ----------------
<servlet>
<servlet-name>CGIServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>weblogic.servlet.CGIServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>cgiDir</param-name>
<param-value>/mqconnect/scripts</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CGIServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.exe</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
------End of web.xml ----------------
On trying to execute (URL: http://<hostname>/mqconnect/scripts/test.exe), i get
the server error
--------WebLogic Error--------
Failed to exec CGI script. Return value : 1
-------- End of WebLogic Error--------
Is there something else i should add ot the web.xml to run a CGI executable in
weblogic (I am able to execute it successfully on Apache Tomcat)
thx

Each and every servlet you want acces it should have an entry in web.xml. Otherwise you cant access. (weblogic 6.1 > above)
