I'll sound like a broken record with this comment ;-), but what you're
looking to do is connect your servlet container (Tomcat presumably?) and
IIS, not OpenBD and IIS 6. Just making sure that's clear because there is
some decent information out there about connecting Tomcat and IIS 6. OpenBD
is a Java webapp that runs on Tomcat, but it's Tomcat that communicates
with your web server.

That indeed would be great so hopefully we can work through this.

Based on what Jordan said about the installer my understanding is that IIS
6 is a completely different animal from IIS 7 and unless there was a big
demand, IIS 6 probably won't be supported by the installer he built.

And are these discussing connecting Tomcat to IIS 6?

Ah, OK--so it sounds like you were on the right track, so forgive my broken
record comment above.

I haven't tried it personally so hopefully someone with more Windows savvy
can jump in.

Just throwing this out there--is there a reason you have to use IIS? You
can get things running with Apache on Windows in no time, so just remember
that's a great option if we can't get the IIS 6 bit sorted.
