11/21: Managed to get the FCKEditor spellchecker to work using .cgi scripts in Tomcat.
Unfortunately, think this small piece of functionality may not justify opening such a big security hole (turning on cgi scripts for the whole instance)
Explored whether it might be possible to only open things up for this one script No
Explored whether it might be possible to restrict it to a small subsection of the available paths Maybe
11/21: Decided to try replacing the Perl code with a JSP version... Still working on this, but the results look promising if I can get it to compile.
11/22: Have this working in the simplest case... still running into some problems with multiple incorrect words in a single page.
Revision 72 11/22: Checked in the current version of the .jsp file and the .cgi file – config settings will need changing to run CGI version... probably very close to getting .jsp version working.
Revision 73 11/27: Fixed bugs with spell checking using the new jsp script, modified configuration to use that script. No CGI Servlet should be required any longer.
Revision 78 11/28: Modified the font names under config.js and fckconfig.js, tested in Firefox, IE – note that the symbol fonts may not work intuitively in Firefox, see Mozilla Web Authoring FAQ
