Web Server + Front Page

Question

Is it possible to get Front Page or Visual InterDev to recognize the Java Web Server. I keep getting errors because of Front Page extensions not being installed.
Thanks.

I want to do this as well. I've come up with a couple of ideas.
1. Create a custom html page for /groups and/or /users where you add/create the links to the various pieces by hand
- not very friendly to manage and doesn't leverage the dynamic capabilities the current /groups and /users pages have
2. Create some custom .js that adds a class or id attribute to the list or the list elements so they can be dealt with independently. For this to be easy to manage additional information needs to be pulled from the directory (Active Directory in our case) so you can ID students separately from faculty. Then the logic would be to modify group_listing.xsl and have it generate two UL's, one with a class or id attribute of faculty and the other student and loop the respective entries into each UL. CSS can be used to expand/collapse the lists.
- this seems doable if I can only figure out how/where to have the server pull additional information from AD (if the students and faculty are flagged as such in AD). This logic wouldn't deal with staff, but that could easily be added.
