ISAPI Redirector Replacement

           Summary: ISAPI Redirector Replacement

Since the ISAPI redirector filter is the biggest source of headaches when 
integrating IIS and Tomcat, I propose the following replacement approach... 
similar to ASPtear...

Create a COM object which will take requests (via an ASP page) and post the 
contents to the Tomcat engine...  So, for example, user has a form on an HTML 
page. Form gets submitted to 'forwarder.asp'.  Forwarder.asp passes the 
headers, parameters, etc... to Tomcat, reads the response, and returns the 
response.  So in effect, forwarder.asp acts as a proxy...

Installation should be MUCH simpler than the ISAPI filter.  Take a look at 
ASPtear http://www.alphasierrapapa.com/IisDev/Components/AspTear/

I'm going to take a crack at it using the MS Java SDK...
