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.

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. > I'm stumped with this.
