That is sort of like how Chrome seems to work better than Internet Explorer with 7.6.4 (I haven't tried 8.x yet), but Internet Explorer is "supported" while Chrome is not.

There's "supported" and there's "it works". Just pointing out that since it's not supported, development wouldn't have had it in their acceptance criteria and QA would not have tested the combination. Didn't want folks to see something posted about the combo not working and interpret that as it not being a valid combination when on a supported environment. Thanks, -David J.

Sort of like the unsupported utilities directory or modifying the .def files by hand.

Back in the 6.x days, AR System came with a complimentary license for ServletExec to serve as the JSP engine when a customer was running IIS. In the 7.0.x timeframe, the OEM agreement with New Atlanta expired and as a continued convenience to customers, BMC began including Tomcat in the distribution to server as the JSP engine for IIS. Tomcat could also be used a the JSP engine for Apache web server. Tomcat can, of course, serve both functions on its own and this has become a popular installation choice - i.e. just using Tomcat. So IIS is still supported as a web server with ServletExec or Tomcat behind it (as per the compatibility matrix), but those combinations are not occurring as often they were 5+ years ago. Apache web server is also supported with Tomcat as the JSP, but that's rarely seen anymore. Also, I do have to mention that AR System server is not supported on Windows 8 - so perhaps that may be contributing to the issue you're seeing. It's only officially supported on the Windows Server product editions. Thanks, -David J.

So, we have one vote for, one vote against (that stuff is cached by IIS for mid-tier if IIS is used). Can someone break the tie? Preferably someone in the know. Where is the David Easter replacement?
