Java Servlets with IIS?

[ADB100]

I have a Java servlet that I would like to run under IIS 6.0 on a Windows 2003 Server. I have searched and found some instructions on getting IIS to redirect the requests to Apache however I am struggling to get this working. I have tested the servlet natively with Apache and it works, but I would like to get it all integrated with IIS, currently Apache listens on TCP port 8080, whilst IIS is on port 80 which is what I want the Servlet to be available on.

I am pretty new to this so be gentle.....

Thanks

Andy

you need to install the Jakarta Redirector and configure it to handle requests. A simple google reveals several sites that may be of help including

Yes already read that but I can't make it work............

I have the redirector enabled and its loaded OK, I have configured the various files but still no joy

I just get 404 errors so I think the redirector isn't being invoked......

I actually got this working eventually but I am not sure how...

I found a page here:

http://www.shiftomat.com/opensource/

that has some instructions that are pretty much the same as the instructions posted elsewhere, however it has been packaged into an installer. After installing this I had more sucess. What I wasn't originally seeing was any attempts to access the 'isapi_redirect.dll' file in the IIS logs, after installing this I was.

However the Servlet I wanted to use requires authentication but I cannot get this part working. Accessing the Servlet directly on port 8080 I can authenticate using the username/password that were added during the TomCat installation, however when accessing via IIS I can't authenticate.
I have pretty much lost interest in this since it has proven a bit too messy. I will stick with accessing it via port 8080........
