FIRST POST - Servlet installation problem

This is my first post to the list.  I hope I'm doing it properly so
please don't flame me :-)

In a nutshell... I believe I've installed everything according to the
instructions properly.  However, I can not access my Servlet.  Here's my
configuration:

Windows 2000 Professional
IIS 5.0
Tomcat 3.2.2
JDK 1.3.1

I've installed Tomcat and verified it's installation by loading the URL
http://localhost:8080 and getting the Tomcat information screen.

I've installed the isapi_redirector.dll and verified it's installation
by checking for the existence of isapi.log.

I've configured the registry according to the instructions.

I've installed my Servlet in a folder under webapps and created a
web.xml file inside of WEB-INF.  I've placed my Servlets .jar file into
webapps/myservlet/lib.

When Tomcat starts I see the Copyright banner for my Servlet so I know
that Tomcat is loading it.  However, when I try to access the URL I'm
getting "Page Not Found".  By examining the isapi.log I can tell that
IIS is redirecting to Tomcat yet I can not get the Servlet to run.

I have not modified server.xml.

I'm using the url: http://localhost/servlet/myservlet

I can not get the examples to run through redirection either...

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I replied to your email asking for more information on what your
requirements 
are.  As I said there, I've haven't been able to get virtuals to work
when 
relying on a port, but am prepared to look at implementing that if other

people need it too (I did a simple name-based workaround).

What are your specific requirements that aren't being fulfilled,
performance 
aside?

This does not solve one problem, that of redirection, or rather
accessing the Servlet through IIS.  By going to port 8080 I am still
using the Tomcat engine to serve the page:

For example, in my configuration, this URL works

http://localhost:8080/myservlet/servlet/myservlet

However, this does not (and I would expect it to)

http://localhost/myservlet/servlet/myservlet

Thanks,
Cliff.

Hi Clifford.

Note the lack of :8080 in the URL you mention.

Try this: 

http://localhost:8080/servlet/myservlet

and see if that works any better.
