Tomcat 7, isapi_redirect, IIS 7 - blank page
Hi there,
I'm getting really desperate with this - I've been at it for about a couple
of months now and still no further forward. The strange thing is that
this works absolutely fine in IIS 7.5 with Tomcat 7 on my laptop which runs
Windows 7, but is persistantly throwing a blank page on IIS 7 with Windows
Server 2008 - it
gives a blank page when I add the Handler Mapping in IIS, but just shows
source code when I delete the Handler Mapping.
I'm stumped with this. I'll outline what I've done below - please note that
I've followed the documentation on the official Tomcat website to the letter
-
this is the HowTo documentation for connecting Tomcat to IIS.
1. Installed Tomcat 7.0.18 in E:\Tomcat
2. Created a directory named isapi in E:\Tomcat - so, E:\Tomcat\isapi
3. Created an isapi_redirect.properties file in the same directory and
modified the paths
4. Created workers.properties and uriworkermap.properties in
E:\Tomcat\conf
5. Added content to and edited workers.properties and
uriworkermap.properties as required
6. Stop and Start the Tomcat Service
In the IIS Manager:
1. Created a virtual directory called "jakarta" (without the quotes)
pointing to E:\Tomcat\isapi
2. In IIS Home (in my case this is WEB-SERVER Home), clicked on ISAPI
and CGI Restrictions, clicked add - ISAPI Or CGI Path:
E:\Tomcat\isapi\isapi_redirect.dll; Description: Tomcat
3. Clicked on my website, went to ISAPI Filters, clicked add - Filter
name: Tomcat; Executable: E:\Tomcat\isapi\isapi_redirect.dll
4. Handler Mappings - Add Module Mapping - Request Path = *.jsp; Module
= IsapiModule; Executable = E:\Tomcat\isapi\isapi_redirect.dll; Name =
Tomcat; Request Restrictions > Access > Execute
5. Restart IIS
isapi_redirect.properties
# Configuration file for the Jakarta ISAPI Redirector
# The path to the ISAPI Redirector Extension, relative to the website
# This must be in a virtual directory with execute privileges
extension_uri=/jakarta/isapi_redirect.dll
# Full path to the log file for the ISAPI Redirector
log_file=E:\Tomcat\logs\isapi.log
# Log level (debug, info, warn, error or trace)
log_level=debug
# Full path to the workers.properties file
worker_file=E:\Tomcat\conf\workers.properties
# Full path to the uriworkermap.properties file
worker_mount_file=E:\Tomcat\conf\uriworkermap.properties
workers.properties
# An entry that lists all the workers defined
worker.list=worker1
# Entries that define the host and port associated with each of these
workers
worker.worker1.host=www.douglasmcgregor.co.uk
worker.worker1.port=8009
worker.worker1.type=ajp13
worker.worker1.connection_pool_timeout=600
uriworkermap.properties
#example uriworkermap.properties fragment
/examples/*=worker1
.jsp=worker1
The "/examples/" work perfectly, but like I said .jsp pages on IIS give a
blank page. I should say I've Googled for days and hours and not found
anything that fixes this.
I've asked on the official IIS forum, but they don't seem to be able to
help. I really hope someone here can help me with this, I'm close to giving
up.
Thanks
Douglas

Hi,
I am not sure if this helps, but I was having problems with the ISAPI
redirect with IIS, but with using the Application Request Routing part
of IIS (have to install it) then got around using the ISAPI :)

Yes. The issue was: you didn't start a new thread.
If you push the "reply" button of your mail client when viewing some

It is to verify this, that I previously asked the OP to try the same JSP URL's to Tomcat
directly, instead of going through IIS.
My currently unsubstantiated theory is that on his system :
- JSPs do not work at all. Calling up one results in an error at the Tomcat level (for
whatever reason, such as what Mladen hinted at : permissions e.g.)
- but the configuration is such that IIS's and Tomcat's "document roots" are the same.
That is a mistake, but it has the consequences that :
- when the IIS-Tomcat proxying is not active (turned off), IIS can access these URLs
directly. Hence the fact that then, accessing a JSP returns the page in source form.
(And the OP did not explicitly say what happens in that case with the /examples/ servlets).
- when the IIS-Tomcat proxying is active, requests for JSP's are forwarded to Tomcat
(instead of being served directly by IIS). In that case, an error occurs at the
Tomcat level, and is being returned via IIS. But something (at the Tomcat or IIS
or browser level) causes this to appear as a blank page in the browser.
Of course, this theory is based on incomplete information, but it seems to fit the facts
which we know so far.
Now if the OP next told us that JSPs work when called up from Tomcat directly, or if he
told us that the /examples/ also work when the redirection is not active, then the theory
would need some serious revision.

But the OP says 'The "/examples/" work perfectly', which seems to indicate that the
requests are being passed to Tomcat.
Unless of course IIS is bypassing Tomcat, which with this configuration appears possible.

1. Nothing is served form the IIS!
IIS just redirects the requests to Tomcat
2. If it cannot be served by Tomcat it cannot be served by IIS.

You need to install a pugin in the browser, to show *exactly* the content of
the server to browser response (including HTTP headers).
If you use IE, try Fiddler2
If you use Firefox, try HttpFox or similar
Then start the plugin, make your request to the server, and look in the
plugin window to see what exactly the server responds.

You need to install a pugin in the browser, to show *exactly* the content of the server to
browser response (including HTTP headers).
If you use IE, try Fiddler2
If you use Firefox, try HttpFox or similar
Then start the plugin, make your request to the server, and look in the plugin window to
see what exactly the server responds.

Posted by Douglas McGregor <du...@douglasmcgregor.co.uk>.
Just wanted to share the good news.
I've finally got it working!!
What worked was adding a virtual host to server.xml and adding a context
path like so:
<Host name="www.douglasmcgregor.co.uk" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true">
<Alias>douglasmcgregor.co.uk</Alias>
<Context path="" docBase="E:\douglasmcgregor.co.uk"
debug="0" reloadable="true" />
</Host>
It's such a relief!

RE: Tomcat 7, isapi_redirect, IIS 7 - blank page
Posted by Douglas McGregor <du...@douglasmcgregor.co.uk>.
Sorry for the late reply. I took a break from this for a day or so.
I can confirm that Tomcat handles .jsp pages correctly -
http://www.douglasmcgregor.co.uk:8080/examples works fine.
However, when I try http://www.douglasmcgregor.co.uk:8080/HelloWorld.jsp I
get HTTP Status 404 from Tomcat.
This is because the page I am trying to execute is not in Tomcat itself but
in E:\douglasmcgregor.co.uk, which is
served from IIS. I know it's set up correctly because it works on my
development server but not on my production
server. And I can confirm that the server.xml file has the HTTP Connector
set to listen on port 8080.
There is a new problem - when I try to access
http://www.douglasmcgregor.co.uk/examples/ it prompts me to download a file
-
not found the solution to that yet. But
http://www.douglasmcgregor.co.uk/HelloWorld.jsp is persistantly showing a
blank page.
Thanks

Hi.
Let's see how quickly we can solve this..
(Considering that you've already spent 2 months on it, getting a really good
percentage improvement should not be that hard).
First, let's verify if Tomcat, on its own, handles JSP pages correctly.
For that we will bypass IIS, and go directly from the browser to Tomcat.
I will presume that both IIS and Tomcat are on the same machine.
And that Tomcat, in its "server.xml" file, has a HTTP Connector set to
listen on port 8080, and that this port 8080 is not blocked on your Windows
host by something.
Given all the above, what happens if you call one of these JSP's from your
browser, using the normal URL, but just appending ":8080" to the hostname in
the URL ?
For example, if what you tried until now was :
http://www.douglasmcgregor.co.uk/something.jsp
then try
http://www.douglasmcgregor.co.uk:8080/something.jsp
(adapt as necessary for the real test URL)
What is the result ?

That means that you have done at least one thing which you should not have
done : allow IIS to access these pages directly, without going through
Tomcat.
That is a security issue, but it can be corrected later.

Re: Tomcat 7, isapi_redirect, IIS 7 - blank page
Posted by André Warnier <aw...@ice-sa.com>.
Hi.
Let's see how quickly we can solve this..
(Considering that you've already spent 2 months on it, getting a really good percentage
improvement should not be that hard).
First, let's verify if Tomcat, on its own, handles JSP pages correctly.
For that we will bypass IIS, and go directly from the browser to Tomcat.
I will presume that both IIS and Tomcat are on the same machine.
And that Tomcat, in its "server.xml" file, has a HTTP Connector set to listen on port
8080, and that this port 8080 is not blocked on your Windows host by something.
Given all the above, what happens if you call one of these JSP's from your browser, using
the normal URL, but just appending ":8080" to the hostname in the URL ?
For example, if what you tried until now was :
http://www.douglasmcgregor.co.uk/something.jsp
then try
http://www.douglasmcgregor.co.uk:8080/something.jsp
(adapt as necessary for the real test URL)
What is the result ?

That means that you have done at least one thing which you should not have done : allow
IIS to access these pages directly, without going through Tomcat.
That is a security issue, but it can be corrected later.

You could have finish the MCSE exams by that time.
Sorry, couldn't resist :)

Don't think that's that strange.
I presume you are talking about 2K8R2 ( ~= Win7)
Pure 2008 should be something like Windows Vista, which you should
have put into the Recycle bin a long time ago.
Nevertheless, the 99.9% percent of the problems are related
to that weird windows permission settings and ACL's.

1) Do you have ROOT webapp in your Tomcat? That is a known feature of
Tomcat that it is unable to display those usual green error pages if
request is not mapped to a webapp and replies with empty page.
2) What version of isapi_redirect.dll; do you use? Do you use correct
version of dll? (64-bit for 64-bit version of IIS?)
I cannot comment on IIS configuration.
Just googling - some people were successful in their deployments:
