Configuring IIS to work with Tomcat - I can't find a good help document

Hello All,
I am relatively new with Java and I am just now trying to learn Tomcat and servlet technologies. I can get the servlets working on my personal computer, yet I cannot get it configured for the server. From all the forum posts and web sites I have researched, it is my understanding that there is a configuration process that needs to be done to allow IIS to request the Tomcat servlet. However, maybe I'm just plain dumb, but I can't understand all the how-to's that I have found.
I am assuming I DLed the appropiate .dll file and I placed it in Tomcat's bin folder.
But then I have to create a properties file? I have no clue how to do this.
I am still messing with the instructions, etc., but if anyone has any suggestions, or maybe a link to a dummie-fied How-to page, that would be extrememly helpful.
I am currently running IIS on a win2k server.
Thanks guys.
(btw, for people who are having trouble setting the environment variable, with win2k, I was trying to do it with DOS, and it did not work. However, using the control panel > system > I was able to do it and the setting "stuck")

No, you don't need Apache to make Tomcat work with ISS.
There's a Wrox book entitled "Professional Apache Tomcat" that has a chapter on how to mate Tomcat with IIS. It gives step-by-step instructions that I've followed successfully a number of times.
There are a few Tomcat books on the market now. I'd be surprised if they didn't address this. Go to Borders and pick one up. - MOD

  • Working with scanner which can't find my file

    Hi, all:
    I'm working with the Scanner class for the first time, and I'm trying to go through the tutorial. I'm using Eclipse. When I try to access the file called "xanadu.txt" when running the application ScanXan, I'm throwing a file not found exception. I have the file xanadu.txt in the same location as the class file, and for good measure I tried to explicitly specify where the file was when accessing it. Apparently one can't do that. What am I doing wrong?

    Yes, the tutorial is assuming the text file is in the same directory as the class file. But how does your program know which directory that is? It looks up the current directory, which is stored in the system properties under the key "user.dir" when the JVM starts up. It's actually the directory from which java.exe was executed, but if the class you're running is in the default package (as yours is), the class file has to be in the same directory.
    However, IDE's tend to create their own environments in order to facilitate debugging, profiling, etc. They pretty much ignore the PATH and CLASSPATH settings in your OS--in fact, they usually use their own compilers. As a result, you can't make any assumptions about the current directory.
    I'm not saying the IDE definitely is causing the problem, just that it muddies the water. Also, it can be difficult for neophytes to keep Java knowledge separate from IDE knowledge. There's so much to learn in both areas, it's best to get a good grounding in Java before you start learning the IDE.
    @Farmor, the {color:000080}try{color} block is only there so they can add the {color:000080}finally{color} block, which makes sure the stream gets closed; the exception is handled by the {color:000080}throws{color} clause in the method declaration.

  • Which epson wireless printer will work with airport extreme (can not find out from epson)

    three systems in use Win 7, Mac lion and vista.  Former epson printer WF 600 would not link with my new airport extreme router despite multiple attempts through epson.  Does anyone know of a wireless printer that will work?  Thanks.

    I had the same problem. It was fixed by running the silly app downloadable from their support page: http://support.lexmark.com/perl/support/support.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:0:0:0
    Here's another way, through CUPS:
    1) http://127.0.0.1:631/
    2) Administration tab
    3) Add Printer
    4) Give Name, Location, and Description (pretty inconsequential)
    5) Select device: Internet Printing Protocol (http)
    6) Device URL: lexnet3://192.168.5.110:1 (the parts in bold must be there, the ip add is probably different)
    7) Make: Lexmark
    8) Model: 3600-4600 series (if this isn't there, you need to get the driver from Lexmark)
    That should do it.
    The printer will be in your system preferences.
    The port number and the "lexnet3://" is the interesting part. Without them, I don't think you'll be able to get it working.
    Good luck

  • Works with tomcat not with bea

    hai i am madav
    when i was working with tomcate it was fine but when i deploy in bea portal server with proper additions i am gettin java.io.FileNotFoundException: Response: '401:
    Unauthorized xxx' for url: 'http://feedsind3.cricinfo.com/live/index.xml'
    for below code

    exception raised in writeToFile java.io.FileNotFoundException: Response: '401:

    Exactly my problem too. I read somewhere that JDK 1.5 has modified its Authenticator class but I am not able to find an example of how to handle a website that prompts you for userid/password.
    But I scaled back from JDK 1.5 to JDK 1.4 on Weblogic 8.1.5 but that does not work still. So I sense some issues with Weblogic server.
    Can someone help please? Moderators?

  • I need to know how to delete the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded it tonight and my computer doesn't have that little edit bar to work with so I can download the proper Adobe player and my internet has been screwed up ever since I downlo

    I need to know how to delete the most recent version of Firefox. I JUST downloaded it tonight and my computer doesn't have that little edit bar to work with so I can download the proper Adobe player and my internet has been screwed up ever since I downloaded the new version of Firefox. I just want the old version of it back since I apparently can't download the Adobe stuff that is necessary to keep my computer safe from Hackers. It sure would have been nice to know there was an issue with the new Firefox Update BEFORE I uploaded it. I have Vista which is usually an issue with both Adobe and Firefox. I don't seem to be able to run much of Adobe at all on my computer because of the Vista.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I have also noticed all my settings won't stay set, example....I removed the check mark from "third party cookies", the when I close Firefox and reopen the check mark is back, also my tool bar has screwed up....can't reset, been having trouble the up grade.

  • Tomcat 5.5 issues, has anyone got JSF working with tomcat 5.5 yet?

    Hi,
    Firstly I'm wondering if anyone has got JSF 1.1 working with tomcat 5.5 yet.
    I'm trying to move from tomcat 5.0.25 to 5.5.4 and my JSF webapps have not liked the move at all.
    The classpath doesn't seem to be a problem as I have all the .jars that are required in the classpath of tomcat just like before.
    I see the error log in stdout.log (catalina.out on linux) have been reduced to only show the precise error. Or at least is seems at lot easier to read.
    My error is simply
    SEVERE: Error listenerStart
    SEVERE: Context startup failed due to previous errors
    I reverted back to using the examples provided like jsf-guessNumber and the car-demo but neither of these will start-up.
    This issue seems to have occurred to lots of other people previously but I couldn't find a particular fix or direct compatability issue with tomcat.
    Has anyone encountered this before?

    Back again,
    Allright well after a little thought I concluded that this issue had to be some to do with the classpath and the changes between the two tomcat versions.
    I had a look at
    http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/RELEASE-NOTES.txt
    and noticed that tomcat 5.5 leaves out some important .jar as they are only needed for java 1.4.
    -------------------- EXTRACT ------------------------
    Installing the compatibility package will add the following to the list, which are
    needed when running on J2SE 1.4:
    * jmx.jar (Java Management Extensions API 1.2 or later)
    * xercesImpl.jar (Xerces XML Parser, version 2.6.2 or later)
    --------------------END EXTRACT ------------------------
    Therefore I tried putting xercexImpl.jar back onto the tomcat classpath and JSF works once again.
    Ah what a relief.

    Final Cut Pro does not work with Yosemite. Can it be fixed?

    Hi Tom, I don't know if you can help me.
    I'm using Final Cut version 10.1.4 with Yosemite 10.10.2 and whenever I open FCP it opens for about 5 seconds (not allowing me to click anywhere) before closing with the message  "Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly. click reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to apple automatically." I have tried opening it multiple times and the same thing has been happening over and over again and i've tried everything I could find on the internet and nothing is working.
    HELP.
    Jada.

    Hi Vidya,
    Thanks for posting your example. You may want to remove your workspace details from the previous posting, or at least update the password on the workspace. I've taken a look at your example and initially couldn't see anything wrong with your tree query. However, when I ran your query in SQL Workshop, it only returned one row, which would explain why you were only seeing one node in your tree! I've updated your query to use a WITH clause, and the tree is now working correctly. I believe you've hit an underlying database bug where the CONNECT BY query is only returning 1 row, when in fact it should return > 1 row. By re-writing the query to use a WITH clause, you can get around the problem.

  • Hi, The Airport Express does not work with iOS 7.0.4, I appreciate your help to resolve this event. Thank you,

    Hi, The Airport Express does not work with iOS 7.0.4, I appreciate your help to resolve this event. Thank you,

    Please locate the model number of the AirPort Express and post back that information.
    The model number is located on the side of the AirPort Express. It begins with an "A" followed by four numbers.
    We are not sure what you mean by "does not work".  Does this mean that the AirPort Express worked at one time and has just recently stopped working?
    Have you installed a newer operating system on your iOS device recently?
    Or, is this a new AirPort Express that you are trying to configure for the first time?
    If yes, what service will the AirPort Express perform on your network?
    Please remember that we cannot see your network, so we only know as much about your problem as you can tell us.

  • HT1495 My husband and I share an i cloud account but each have our own separate ipads. We were told this would work, but now I can't find a book that I've downloaded on my ipad anymore. Where would I find it?

    My husband and I share an i cloud account but each have our own separate ipads. We were told this would work, but now I can't find a book that I've downloaded on my ipad anymore. Where would I find it?

    You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that.  Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card.  Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account. 
    Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud.  Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account.  To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.

  • Time machine working well but I can't find backed up files fast enough?

    Time machine working well but I can't find backed up files fast enough. When I look in Time machine backups I'm looking in a folder and I can't remember what it was, but I go back in time and the finder goes from 98 files to 100 files, how do I find which 2 files were the ones deleted? Going back and forth from past to present is a pain! I need to figure out which file it was faster? Have any ideas?
    With the new "Find" feature it actually highlights what you are looking for such as in Safari. Does Time Machine have a feature to highlight the files/folders that were deleted really from the present?

    It sounds like you aren't looking for any file in particular, but notice a change in number of files and would like to know what changed rather than knowing that a specific file is now missing.
    that's a good point, and it appears that TM is not setup to describe the changes over time. If I recall correctly, it has a plug-in ability, so maybe somebody will fill in that void.

    I cannot send a text thru iMessage.  I followed the directions over and over again but can't make it work.  Also how can I find out all the apple ids I may have.

    A wet phone is out of warranty. This is considered user damage. Even if you were able to get it to start now, the chances of it working for long are slim. I suggest going to Apple and see about an OOW replacement. One for the iPhone 4 is only $149USD and it would come with a short warranty. It is a refurbished device and you would not be worried about encountering additional problems.
