Technically Tomcat is an application server - not a web server.
Apache, IIS, lighttpd, etc are all webservers - and excel in delivering (preferably static) content fast and accurately. Application servers such as tomcat, glassfish, weblogic, websphere, are for running J2ee (Java servlets and jsp).
The midtier for Remedy is basically a java application (j2ee application - you can't run it on a standard JRE) which takes the layouts of the forms and converts them to HTML and the active links and convert them to javascript, communicating with the ARS via the Java API.
given this, the IIS has never been able to run the midtier, and never will be able to do so - but it has acted as a proxy server caching all the static stuff so the tomcat server isn't burdened with that, and the communication is through a plugin for IIS (jakarta i think apache call it) which allows them to interact in the proper fashion.

I have not had the opportunity to play with 8.1 yet. But having read this thread, does it mean that the option to install the mid-tier using IIS as a web server has been completely deprecated? What other web server options are available in addition to Tomcat?
