Sorry. I wasn't trying to highjack the original thread. Here are a couple sites that might help with configuring Tomcat 6 and IIS 7.5
http://ashrafhossain.wordpress.com/2010/09/20/how-to-configure-iis-7-and-tomcat-redirection-on-windows-server-2008-64-bit/ http://tomcatiis.riaforge.org/blog/index.cfm/2011/6/30/IIS-75-and-Error-with-SystemWebAspNetHostingPermission When installing mid-tier you can have mid-tier install Tomcat 6 and do the IIS configurations. A lot of organizations require the latest version of Tomcat because of security vulnerabilities in 6. If the configuration works properly you should see the Tomcat page when you go to http://localhost. If you see the IIS splash page then something is not configured properly. The exception would be if you are not using the default web page. Now there are several threads on the web about issues with Tomcat 7x and IIS 7.5. You also want to look at your permissions on your directories. Windows 2008 R2 has a lot of lock downs it enforces, especially under Program Files. We have servers running Tomcat 6/7 on IIS 7 working fine. IIS 7.5 has caused issues, but it looks like Tomcat 6 works. There were a few comments about whether IIS added any benefit. The answer depends. However, if you are just using it with mid-tier with no special things added than IIS will probably cause unnecessary overhead. Apache and Tomcat work much better together and give you greater flexibility if you need something in front of Tomcat. The version of Mid-Tier will not effect Tomcat and IIS (for the most part). Since all IIS is doing is redirect traffic to Tomcat, as long as mid-tier is compatible with the version of Tomcat you are running you should be fine. The 500 error is more than likely a Tomcat/IIS integration error and outside of mid-tier all together.
