Isapi_redirector2.dll nsis installer.

[Daniel Schmitt <da...@shiftomat.de>]

Hello,

In my opinion installing the jk2 connector is not trivial, so we build 
an nsis installer for our customer to automate this.

If anybody is interested, he can download the binary at:

http://www.shiftomat.com/opensource/setupJk202.exe

And the source code at:

http://www.shiftomat.com/opensource/jk2.zip

(You need nsis2b4 and services.dll, AccessControl.dll from the nsis 
archive to compile the script) Please write me about your experience.

The installer is tested with tomcat 4.1.29, 5.0.16 and IIS 4.0 – 6.0 on 
Windows Nt4Sp6a / 2000 / XP / 2003.
"Test" means here, the servlet and jsp example pages are working.

The installer does all the stuff discussed here in the forum. 
Additionally it sets IIS 6.0 Web Service Extensions for jk2.properties, 
workers2.properties, jk2.shm, isapi_redirector2.dll and grants write 
access for BUILTIN\Users for jk2.properties and jk2.shm.
During installation the user will be asked, which webapp should be 
redirected from IIS to tomcat.

Somewhere in this forum I read, I have to put IIS 6.0 in "IIS 5.0 
isolation mode" to work properly with jk2. Why? Did I miss something?

Is there a discussion about adding an win installer to the connector 
distribution, or even as a subsection in the main tomcat exe installer 
in future? Should I post the script to the developer forum?

Dani,
