RE: Using Tomcat with ISAPI Redirector

[Patrick Markiewicz <pm...@sim-gtech.com>]

Hi,
	I finally found an answer to my problem, thanks to a few posts
on the interenet.
	Here they mention the fact that NETWORK SERVICE needs WRITE
access to the directory defined by the log_file key under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apache Software Foundation\Jakarta Isapi
Redirector\1.0 in the registry:
http://forums.iis.net/p/1150483/1874510.aspx

	With that, I was finally able to see the behavior of redirecting
to /jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll.  Thanks to an old mail post by Larry
Isaacs back in 2002.  My problem was that I had the isapi_redirect.dll
defined in both the Default Website AND the Web Sites folder in IIS.
	As Larry explains here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg55430.html

So the moral is:  When you see something like ' Default redirection of
/jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll ' or ' [/jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll] is not
a servlet url ' in the redirect log as if it is searching tomcat for
that resource, then you have at least 2 redirect filters defined in IIS.

Subject: Using Tomcat with ISAPI Redirector

Hi,
	I'm using Apache Tomcat/5.5.4 with Plesk 8.2 on a Windows Server
2003 machine.  The isapi redirector program is supposed to allow me to
connect to my server, and redirect my request to Tomcat, if the url
matches a certain pattern.  I have multiple sites configured in IIS,
including: PleskControlPanel and Default Web Site.

Default Web Site was previously configured with a jakarta virtual
directory that allows the isapi redirector to work properly.  When I try
to access http://www.example.com/examples, I find the tomcat error:
HTTP Status 404 - /examples/

I configured PleskControlPanel (port 8880, ssl port 8443) to use a
second jakarta virtual directory.  However, when I try to access
http://www.example.com:8880/examples, I find the tomcat error:
HTTP Status 404 - /jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll

Does anyone know why IIS would be passing the URI:
/jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll to Tomcat at that point?  Is there a way to
configure IIS so that /jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll is resolved properly
(as the filter, not the URI) and so that the next URI delivered to
Tomcat is /examples/ ?
