Thanks for the timely response.. I've been scratching my head over this for the past day and a half thinking I am just not getting this right. Are there any other active gotcha's I need to watch out for? I am using this for testing and some "getting my feet wet" work in JSP 2.0.
By the way, is there any further documentation on the JK2 interface for IIS? I am curious to see if there have been any improvements in speed or manageability since Tomcat 4 was updated. Thanks again... Now I feel a little less silly.. ;-) Richard Norman Web/Application Developer -----Original Message----- From: Remy Maucherat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 08, 2003 11:42 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Tomcat 5.0.9 appBase and docBase questions...
