IIS 1

[yama]

Hi,
After I have tested my website on a tomcat build with JBuilder, I like to set up IIS to test out if JSP pages can be port over to another webserver. But it seems that IIS cannot compile JSP pages, are there any suggestions as to how to use JSP pages in IIS? (Including the use of external packages, such as coolservlets, where do i put all the packages, in the root directory?)
thanks alot!!

To get JSP/Servlets to work under IIS you need to install a plugin that proxies the request to a Servlet Engine. The most popular Servlet Engines to use with IIS tend to be Tomcat (which you are already using) and Resin. Tomcat has instructions on their site to get it working with IIS. Resin is even better, it has a configuration program to setup it up with either IIS, Apache, or Netscape(Iplanet).

Can I make a suggestion? If you are considering putting your application into production don't use IIS. You saw what happened with Code Red and it happens over and over again. Use a better more secure Web Server such as Apache or Iplanet. Just a suggestion. Wushutwist

oh i see, the reason i am trying is because i want to use Verisign Secure Site Service product, which includes instruction for setting up SSL on a webserver.
'Cos i am developing an e-commerce website to which sercurity is an important factor. Can you guide me through this SSL with tomcat if not too much trouble 'cos mi dont quite understand the guide on the SUN website.
Thanks!
