And there is a bunch of them listed in the mid-tier install(jboss is the only one I remember off hand). I always select Apache Tomcat because I can and it works.
I knew we don't need IIS, there have been threads on the list before with the webish folks explaining it, but I usually have IIS installed anyway to run other web sites. I am not webish, so I am easily confused. [working on changing that though. Been 21 years since I created my first web site, then I took a long break].

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. br Jonas Den 30-04-2013 02:53, Joe D'Souza skrev: > I have not had the opportunity to play with 8.1 yet.
