In order to support Virtual Directories in IIS for OpenBD, you have to
tell Tomcat where it can find the files for the virtual directories you
create.
For example, I'm guessing your Tomcat server.xml contains something like
the following:
<Host name="mydomain.com" appBase="webapps">
<Context path="" docBase="C:\inetpub\wwwroot" />
<Alias>www.mydomain.com</Alias>
</Host>
To support your Virtual Directory, you need to add a new Context tag,
like so:
<Host name="mydomain.com" appBase="webapps">
<Context path="" docBase="C:\inetpub\wwwroot" />
<Context path="/filemaker/" docBase="C:\fmadmin" />
<Alias>www.mydomain.com</Alias>
</Host>
This will inform Tomcat that if a request comes in asking for
mydomain.com/filemaker/, that it can find the files for that request
over in C:\fmadmin\. Essentially doing the same thing in Tomcat that a
Virtual Directory does in IIS.
Hope this helps!
Warm regards,

I have for the most part a running Open Blue Dragon server working
properly. I can surf to it and get my hello world page. However I am
having one issue. I cannot seem to use Virtual Directories the way I
can IIS7 or a CF server.
For example in my default website I have two Virtual Directories, One
is the Jakarta directory needed for OBD, the second is one I want to
surf to. If I try and go to either of these I get a page not found
error. So in short I can surf to
http://mydomain.com/hello.cfm
However if I try to surf to
http://mydomain.com/filemaker/hello.cfm
I get a file not found error. Based on the debugging shown below it
appears OBD is looking for the files for this directory in the same
path as the site as opposed to where they are. For example
The main site files are in
C:\inetpub\wwwroot
The Virtual Directory is pointed to the path
C:\fmadmin
in IIS7 but the OBD server is using
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\filemaker
as the path. How do I get the virtual directories pointed correctly?
Do they need to be in the same path hierarchy as the main site?
