Subject: Tomcat/IIS 5 /examples solution?
Ok, it was a trip to jGuru and a post by Eric M. from December that may have
provided the answer to my problem. Eric reiterated the isapi_redirect.dll
install procedure in 28 steps. Step #26 was to "start Tomcat".
I didn't think this was necessary as I thought that IIS "started Tomcat" by
having it installed as a filter. Then I re-read the tomcat-iis-howto and lo
and behold, after "Configuring the ISAPI Redirector" Step 9, there is the
following:
"That's all, you should now start Tomcat and ask IIS to serve you the
/examples context."
So I fire up the Jakarta NT Service on the server and test from another
machine.
With IIS running, this works:
http://192.168.1.2/examples/jsp/index.html (192.168.1.2 is server IP)
If I stop IIS, that URL no longer works and I must enter:
http://192.168.1.2:8080/examples/jsp/index.html
which I presume is the standalone Tomcat working???
Can someone confirm that this is correct? If you know and have the time, I
would appreciate understanding why you must both add the filter and start
Tomcat separately. I don't really understand the theory of operation.
Thanks!
Steve
