ignoreExitState

bufferSize

ENV_*

resourceBase

Set the base file system location for the servlet. See ServletContextResource

ignoreExitState

If "true", a non-zero exit status from the CGI process will be bypassed, otherwise a non-zero status will generate 500 error response. Default "false"

ENV_*

Any initParameter that starts with ENV_ is used to set an environment variable with the name stripped of the leading ENV_ and using the init parameter value. Particularly useful for "ENV_SystemRoot" on Windows, required for a number of system libraries (eg sockets) to work. "ENV_PATH" can also be useful. The CGIFactory class also takes initParameters

TODO: Make the CGIHandler factory class an initParam
