Details on IIS/Tomcat Question
Hi, my colleague Chris got here before I had signed onto the group, but let me fill in some details about our attempt to get IIS to work with Tomcat. We want to do this because we have JSP files sharing directories with static HTML files, *and* we also have Cold Fusion files. This is Tomcat 4.0.3 on Windows 2000. I created a web site in IIS, and configured it to intercept all requests on port 8765. I set its root directory to the webapps directory in the Tomcat installation. I added a virtual directory called jakarta, with root directory in the Tomcat bin directory. The DLL that was present in the FTP area was isapi_redirector.dll. I registered it as an ISAPI filter, and got a green arrow when I restarted the site. In SERVER.XML, after the Server tag, I added the tag Listener className=org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.config.IISConfig / After the Host tag with name localhost, I added the tag Listener className=org.apache.ajp.tomcat4.config.IISConfig noRoot=false forwardAll=false append=true / I added the noRoot and forwardAll attributes late during my attempts to get this to work. They had no effect on the results as far as the JSP pages are concerned. I uncommented the Context tag for the root path. Here's my iis_redirect.reg, which I have loaded into the Registry: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apache Software Foundation\Jakarta Isapi Redirector\1.0] extension_uri=/jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll log_file=..\\logs\\iis_redirect.log log_level=emerg worker_file=..\\conf\\jk\\workers.properties worker_mount_file=..\\conf\\auto\\uriworkermap.properties The uniworkermap.properties file is exactly as Tomcat created it. In the jk directory I added file worker.properties, including the following entries that differ from the version in the ajp.html document: worker.tomcat_home=C:\tomcat\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.3 worker.java_home=C:\jdk1.3.0_02 I created a JAVA_HOME environment variable, pointing to C:\jdk1.3.0_02. I couldn't help noticing that the extension_uri in the Registry entry has isapi_redirect.dll instead of isapi_redirectOR.dll. I finally noticed that the instructions say to download the Tomcat 3.3 isapi_redirect.dll! Then why is there a file with a different name in the Tomcat 4.0.3 area, and what's THAT supposed to be for? Anyway, I downloaded isapi_redirect.dll, and substituted it for the other file in the ISAPI Filters config. I get a RED arrow. Why should that be? Anyway, even before switching the ISAPI filter, a request for http://myserver:8765/examples/jsp/colors/colors.html works, but a request for http://localhost:8765/examples/jsp/colors/colrs.jsp?color1=redcolor2=bl ueaction=Submit gives me The specified module could not be found. Using Tomcat's built-in HTTP service, http://localhost:8080/examples/jsp/colors/colrs.jsp?color1=redcolor2=bl ueaction=Submit does work, so Tomcat itself isn't the problem, it's the redirection. In fact, the log file, iis_redirect.txt, that's supposed to appear in the logs directory, never does. Any thoughts?

RE: Details on IIS/Tomcat Question
OK, thanks. You're right, it still didn't help :), but I got my green arrow back. I can't help wondering about the number of people who try to link IIS and Tomcast 4 together, *all* having to go through this exercise. -Original Message- From: Wagoner, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 8:28 AM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Details on IIS/Tomcat Question I couldn't help noticing that the extension_uri in the Registry entry has isapi_redirect.dll instead of isapi_redirectOR.dll.

Switch back to the 4.0 DLL and change the registry value to isapi_redirector.dll. This may not fix all the problems but at least you should get a green arrow again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Problems in redirecting requests from IIS to Tomcat 4 (new Information)
Luca, Does there have to be a separate Host tag for each host name? I haven't gotten this far, but since the default Host tag has the name localhost I'm deducing that it's only good for requests that come in for the host localhost. To be sure, this seems clunky, since it means you have to duplicate and maintain the entirety of the tag and its contents for every host name you want to use, so I'm not sure I'm interpreting this correctly. But since you do seem to have it working for localhost, could you tell me if, from the information I provided here this morning, you can see what step I might be overlooking?

I have installed Internet Information Services (IIS) as Web Server and Apache Tomcat 4.0 as plug-in of IIS to support JSP-Servlets (to do this I installed an ISAPI filter in IIS that redirects all my JSP-servlet requests to Tomcat). All works fine when I am on localhost but if I use another domain for my Web Server (e.g: www.mydomain.com) I have the following problem: when I try to connect to a site that must be redirected to Tomcat 4 (because it contains JSP pages or servlets), IIS ask me a login or a password to access to it. For example: i try to connect to the url http://www.mydomain.com/mysite; and mysite is a web application defined in webapps folder of tomcat (the document folder is in webapps\mysite\web-inf). What can I do to avoid IIS asks me a password or a login? I want that all users that connects to my site are redirected to Tomcat without asking any login and password I think the problem it isn't in Tomcat's configuration but in IIS's configurationbut I can be wrong. I hope someone can help me...thanks i advance!

IIS/Tomcat redirection solved
Folks, Chris Ruegger and I solved the problem we reported earlier. I had isapi_redirector.dll properly installed as an ISAPI filter for the *site*, but we discovered that ISAPI filters are also installed at the *server* level, and one of them was from a JRun installation that I'm no longer using. I removed that, and now IIS is routing JSP pages onward. Now, we have a new pair of problems, which I'll report under a new subject line.

IIS/Tomcat: scriptlets, POST not working
In my new IIS/Tomcat configuration, IIS *seems* to be forwarding requests for JSPs to Tomcat, because it displays them. IIS on its own doesn't display JSPs, it just asks if you want to open them or save them to your local drive. BUT: the scriptlets and expressions aren't being executed, so only the HTML is being rendered. AND: Only GET works. POST doesn't work. POST gives HTTP status code 405, which Internet Explorer identifies as Resource not allowed, though the W3C HTTP spec says it's Method not allowed. Regarding the first problem above: I'm interested to note that the IIS web log shows HTTP status code 200 for the GET when the request immediately follows a change I've made to the JSP page, and a 304 (Resouce Not Modified) for subsequent requests. My question is: why does IIS record an entry at all when it isn't the server that ultimately serves the page? And now I see that the Tomcat logs don't show any record of receiving these requests. And no log called isapi_redirect.txt is being created as it should be. It's as though IIS now feels empowered to handle JSP requests by itself--but since it doesn't know how to handle JSP, it ignores it, and just serves the HTML. Ideas? Thanks.

RE: IIS/Tomcat: scriptlets, POST not working
It DOES seem to be that IIS is handling the JSP pages itself: the same thing happens even when Tomcat is shut down. I checked, and there are no other ISAPI filters or app filters handling JSP files in the web site I set up for Tomcat OR at the server level. -Original Message- From: Harlan Messinger Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 1:33 PM To: Tomcat Users List (E-mail) Subject: IIS/Tomcat: scriptlets, POST not working In my new IIS/Tomcat configuration, IIS *seems* to be forwarding requests for JSPs to Tomcat, because it displays them.
