Hello,

        I have Tomcat and IIS successfully communicating with the AJP
1.3/isapi_redirect setup, however, I do have a question about the URL
mappings. I'd like to provide someone the ability to upload/FTP WARs and
have them automatically deploy and served with IIS without having to
edit the "uriworkermap.properties" file and restart IIS.

        I know I can wildcard the whole Tomcat install like this:

        /=ajp13
        /*=ajp13

        but this conflicts with existing IIS content. 

        My first thought was to try and get an IIS directory called
something like "/webapps" and map that to the root of the Tomcat install
so IIS URLs like this:  

        http://www.site.com/webapps/jsp-examples/

        get mapped to Tomcat URLs like this:

        http://www.site.com:8080/jsp-examples/

        but I think there would be issues with the web apps knowing
their context and linking. Maybe if I could get Tomcat to prefix all
contexts with "/webapps" this would work. Anyone know if this is
possible?

        My second thought was to come up with some naming convention for
web apps. For example, if all web apps start with a "j" then I could
maybe map the URLs like this:

        /j*/*=ajp13

        and the user would just need to not name directories in IIS with
a "j" as the first character.

        Anyone out there doing something similar to this? Or any
suggestions on something else to look into? Thanks in advance for any
pointers.

        Here's the environment I'm running:

        + Windows Server 2003
        + Tomcat 5.5.17
        + isapi_redirect.dll 1.2.14
