Tomcat and IIS - quick setup

[Mikolaj Rydzewski]

Hi,

In the near future I'll face the problem of integrating Tomcat with IIS 
server. I'm a unix guy for a years, so it frightens me a little ;-)


I have read http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/howto/iis.html - is 
there any simpler way? Something similiar to ProxyPass in Apache? How 
do you integrate Tomcat with IIS?
I'm thinking also about running Tomcat standalone on port 80 listening 
on another IP address.


Any ideas?

I'll have to deploy my application at client's site and know very little 
about their configs (they run IIS 6.0) and qualifications of IT stuff there.

No.  IIS does not have built-in proxying.

 I'm thinking also about running Tomcat standalone on port 80 
 listening on another IP address.

That's a simpler config, and has been my weapon of choice when working in a
Windows environment.  My dev box here has several IIS apps and several
Tomcat apps on it.  For the public Tomcat apps, I simply configure a
redirect on IIS so that if someone hits the normal Web server, they get
issued a redirect to the alternate address.  In my case, that's on the same
IP address but an alternate port; but a redirect is a redirect :-).
