Martin, To clarify our setup, our site receives the initial HTTP request and the application server in question is IIS and the site is written in ASP.NET. Some of the pages that will be served will include a frame that hosts pages from this product hosted by Tomcat on another server. The current configuration is such that the product invokes some javascript on the client and the javascript is generating errors preventing the pages from working properly. The vendor states that this is due to security issues with the javascript executing across domains and the way to fix this is to implement a proxy from IIS that redirects the request (I'm assuming server side but I'm not sure) to the Tomcat webapp. I'm looking to see if anyone else has any experience they could lend in creating a proxy from IIS that redirects a request to a Java webapp hosted by Tomcat on another physical server.
My understanding is I will then be able to reference the URL and make it look like it's part of the domain running in IIS instead of formatting another URL in the form of http://<servername>:<port>/<webapp>/<repository>.

Our setup is such that our web application is written in .NET and hosted on a web farm using IIS (5 or 6 depending on the environment). The product we purchased runs under Apache Tomcat/5.5.23 using 1.5.0_12-b04. The product is integrated into our web portal using frames and sending URL requests to Apache. We are running into issues with javascript code from the product generating errors for what I suspect may be related to crossing domains (our web site and the Apache server). I figure I can resolve this by generating a proxy on the IIS server to handle the request to the Apache server. My question is does anyone have any pointers on how to setup this type of proxy?
