OK, the docs out there are good, but they either concern old versions of IIS and/or Tomcat -OR- they concern the JK2 module (including this list's archives I have searched). If JK2 is NO LONGER SUPPORTED, why in the heck would I care to use it? So, I am using the very nice jk_1.2.8.exe installer. With that, most of the "steps" found in the various, partially-helpful docs are already done! ;^)
That said: I am using Win2K + IIS5, and also Win2K3 + IIS6, and in either case, also Tomcat 5.5: I can go to http://localhost and get my IIS index page. I can go to http://localhost:8080 and get my Tomcat index page. I can go to http://localhost/jsp-examples/index.html and run all the wonderful examples. HOWEVER, if I simply want to -ALSO- hand-off jsp pages to Tomcat that are in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot (and below) everything goes to hell. I have tried adding CONTEXT tags to server.xml until I turn blue in the face, and when I do so I get either 404 not found errors from Tomcat (can't find the subdirectory b/c I assume it is looking for it in webapps/, but then again it can't find it even if I copy the whole thing into webapps/) or "The specified module could not be found" message on the page (IIS result of a uriworkermap.properties issue). I have even tried editing the existing HOST tag to change "webapps" to "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot" and all sorts of folders below wwwroot. In those cases, if I manage to edit the uriworkermap.properties file correctly, all I get is a blank page for any .jsp, while IIS still handles the other stuff just fine. So, instead of these outdated docs everyone keeps pointing to, does anyone have any simple instructions to get Tomcat to properly use a folder OUTSIDE of webapps, and ALONG WITH webapps to work (especially assuming you've already got the basics working just fine as I do)? I'd like to start by getting a copy of jsp-examples working in wwwroot/ if possible (which is also how I was testing in the situation above, if that means anything), rather than also confusing the situation by learning how to create apps myself at the same time. Perhaps that has caused my problem - maybe the issue lies in a web.xml file somewhere for the jsp-examples (I;ve even copied all of webapps to wwwroot to try and get that to work, but no luck).
