Hello Konstantin,
        I believe I've miss lead you. I'm not using IIS and Tomcat
concurrently.

        What I mean is that I had an older version of this application
that used to run on IIS *instead* of Tomcat. When I had the IIS
application, I used to access my URL directly, without the /MyApp
extension via a simple .html redirect file in the wwwroot folder.

        Right now, I don't even use IIS, only Tomcat.

Regards,
Mostafa

I have a thought that there is some specifics in integrating Tomcat
with IIS.

You did not mention how you did that, and what is in your
"worker.properties", and so on. Do you have proper configuration
of IIS-Tomcat ISAPI redirector?

I have to say that I have yet no experience with configuring IIS with
Tomcat,
so the following are somewhat theoretical findings. Maybe, if the
following
won't help you, you can repost your question mentioning IIS in its
title,
and properly describing all components of your configuration.

Also, you may try searching on "how to access tomcat root
application through IIS".

Here is what I have found:
1)
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/jk/
config/IISConfig.html

It is some Tomcat class that writes IIS configuration files for you
(e.g.
as the initial configuration of the server). Note the "noRoot"
configuration
attribute.

If you examine the sources of that class, you may note, that root
context (ctxPath equals "") have some special processing. That includes
the following comment:
"# Note: To correctly serve the Tomcat's root context, IIS's Home
Directory must"
"# must be set to: \"" + getAbsoluteDocBase(context) + "\""

May be that is what you are missing?

Somehow I cannot not find any mention of root context specifics in the
tomcat and tomcat connector documention and wiki.

2) The following two articles might be useful:
http://www.iisadmin.co.uk/?p=8
http://blogs.msdn.com/david.wang/archive/2005/10/14/HOWTO_IIS_6_Request_
Processing_Basics_Part_1.aspx

I did not read them through, though.

Best regards,
Konstantin Kolinko
