problems with cocoon and servletexec

Hiya guys. I'm having a teensy bit of trouble with cocoon, servletexec,
and iis 4. I've set up cocoon to filter .xml files and have the default
directory document set up to be index.xml. Wen I request index.xml
directory, everything works fine, but when I request it as a directory
(e.g. /foo/), cocoon is not invoked. Anyone have any ideas? It's a fairly
urgent matter, any help is appreciated.

how about trying the mod_jserv port for IIS ;-) (it's in the
jakarta-tomcat module, somewhere)

Yeah, maybe a solution.

Don't be that drastic, Apache works on win32 with no problems. You know
I'm a win32 user myself.

I actually found something of a resolution on the net, but I don't fully
understand it. I'm continuing to poke, and will add ServletExec
documentation when I get it figured out.

And use what servlet engine for IIS instead? Oh, throw away IIS as well?
And NT while I'm at it? I'd love to, but that's not always a decision I'm
allowed to make. Clients like brand names. Go figure.

Sounds like a problem in the IIS->ServletExec tunnel. When the URI is
received is remapped but doesn't go thru futher remapping... it might
even be an IIS bug.

Anyway, you know that the anwers is... throw away that thing :)
