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.
1) Where is exactly located that "HelloWorld.jsp", on disk ?
2) paste your Tomcat server.xml file here (minus the comments, please, and minus any
passwords)
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.
If Tomcat cannot find it (error 404 above), then IIS+Tomcat will not find it
either.
Why you get a blank page instead of a 404 error, is another matter.
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 ?

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.
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. 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
