I guess that the question that I would have is - what are your ASP pages
actually written in?
Are they comprised of what is typically referred to as 'classic ASP,' or
are the .NET variety? My next question would be on which platform your
Apache/Tomcat instance is going to be located, as the combination can
readily be run on either, and your message does not mention a specific
OS platform.
If you're not really using the .NET beast, you might be able to get
around some of the bends in the road with a product called "Sun Java
System Active Server Pages" -
http://www.sun.com/software/chilisoft/features_benefits.xml. I
personally have not tried this, but it is on my list of things to try
out when I have some free time. The upshot is that the product can be
used on either Windows or a *nix based system.
As for the redirects, you have some options. If you leave mod_alias
enabled (it should be there by default on any downloaded version), you
can alias a directory in the httpd.conf file. For example:
alias /ars /some/path/name
Any request that comes in for anything in the /ars directory will
automagically be redirected to /some/path/name. This works great for
herding browsers into the right directories for content, but not so well
for when you need to get them to a completely different URL. And here is
where the Redirect directive comes into play....
With Redirect, you can direct browsers that are requesting content from
one of your servers to get it from a completely different,
fully-qualified address. For example,
Redirect /ars http://remedy.somecompany.foo/some/directory
There are some other variations on the theme with Apache, including the
AliasMatch and RedirectMatch directives, but those take a bit longer to
explain and this should be enough to get you started.

You may want to retain your IIS server for the ASP stuff and use
tomcat for the mid-tier. The alternative is to rewrite your asp pages
in another language, like perl, php, python, jsp, etc.

We are currently running Mid Tier 6.3 p20 on IIS/ServletExec.
We're planning to upgrade to Mid Tier 7.0.1 and replace
IIS/ServletExec with a standalone Tomcat 5.5 instance. We haven't
tested this beyond a simple install that could connect to our AR
Server. Our next step will be to duplicate all the IIS redirects
(virtual directories) we have with something similar with Tomcat.
We also have some custom ASP pages that make use of the AR System
.NET API to do some simple form submits using an HTTP Post. I'm
looking for guidance on what our options might be for duplicating
the redirects and the ASP page in Tomcat. Any Tomcat experts out
there that can help?
Thanks,
