To answer your first question on wether you need a seperate web server,
the answer is no. Tomcat works as a web server as well, but it is not a
fast server. JDK includes (I believe) a java compiler to create the java
files and and interpreter to run the java files. This is why you need
it. If you are running on a NT machine and want to run it as a service,
you will want to use JDK 1.2.2 (correct me if I am wrong).I am pretty
sure the directory "jakarta" has to be a virtual directory as far as the
redirector is concerned. If you install JDK and try again, I think you
shouldn't have a problem. In addition it is usually better to create
system env. variable rather than user.

Subject: Tomcat in Win2k with IIS
I am currently trying to install Tomcat 3.2.2 on a windows 2000 box with
IIS. I am really confused. Can Tomcat be run standalone as its own web
server? Or does it have to have a webserver installed (like IIS). I
tried
to follow the tomcat_ug.htm file for installation. I went through the
"How
do I Install the Binary Version of Tomcat" and when I got down to set
environment variable JAVA_HOME. I started to loose it. I don't have
JDK
installed but I do have JRE1.3 installed (Is there a difference?) And
what
is the Java interpreter, and where do I find that?
So then I moved on. I saw that I could use scrips to setup Tomcat. I
tried
Tomcat env and I guess it didn't work.
Next I tried the Tomcat IIS How To. I followed the Installation. I
downloaded the DLL and put it in \bin\win32\i386
I went through and did minor changes to workers.properties. Then I went
through the painful task of adding the key and strings into the
registry.
It is a new web server so I made the root directory the dir with the DLL
file. (Does it have to be a virtual dir?) I then added the filter and
restarted IIS. There is still a Red arrow next to the filter. That is
when
I put everything down. (BIG HEADACH)
Thank you for your time!
