I hardly know anything of Linux. My own website is hosted on a W2K system for I want to use ASP. > i am just curious why the preference of iis over apache? i'm I have no preference of IIS over Apache. The case is the following: At work we're developing workflow solutions with W4 (www.w4global.com). It runs on Linux/NT with Oracle/SQL and any combination of web server/app server. We're using Tomcat as 'app server' and IIS or Apache as web server. This results in three different dev environments for me. NT/SQL/IIS/Tomcat, NT/Oracle/IIS/Tomcat, and Linux/Oracle/Apache/Linux. However, I have to admit that I'm by far more familiar with IIS than with Apache. > not at all familiar w/ iis config but it would seem to me that the > java side of tc would still have to be the same regardless of > platform. adding a new "web apps" (if using ant) is easy if u define > and compile a .war/.jar combo that is expanded by the tc server when > either: bounced, autoreloaded or > http://localhost:8080/manager/intall?path=MyOwnTest_Java.

But the whole point of Tomcat/web server integration is that your web server is running on port 80 and that it will simply forward servlet/jsp request to Tomcat. This allows for the url http://localhost/MyOwnTest_Java/Public/index.jsp without explicitly defining port 8080 (or whatever Tomcat listens on). > their is a jsp or servlet defined at that uri). hope this helps, > david.
