DSpace is a Java web application, so must be run through a Java Web Application Server. The two most commonly used are Tomcat or Jetty. IIS is not a Java web application server, so can not natively run DSpace. Tomcat will run fine on Windows, so you can just use that if you want. A large percentage run it on unix machines, but there are plenty who use Windows. If you want to run DSpace along with other applications (in IIS) on the same server, this should be possible by running Tomcat and IIS together. You can set up an ISAPI filter to forward certain paths (e.g. /dspace/) to Tomcat in the same way that mod_jk works with Apache. I hope this helps, Stuart _________________________________________________________________ Gwasanaethau Gwybodaeth Information Services Prifysgol Aberystwyth Aberystwyth University E-bost / E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffon / Tel: (01970) 622860 _________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
