Configuring Tomcat and IIS is documented at [http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/connectors-doc/howto/iis.html the IIS Howto page] . The instructions there work fine, but there is a [http://www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/binaries/win32/jk-1.2.15/isapi_redirect.msi setup program] which allows you to skip steps 1 through 7 in the "Configuring the ISAPI Redirector" section of this page. Also, step 8 can be done using a VBScript file like this:
'Taken from http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/iissdk/html/8fcd5343-07cb-49e9-a206-0c65a988dcca.asp?frame=true and ' http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/iissdk/html/425ff52d-9998-44a9-95dd-b46b2e390db8.asp ' or Google the Microsoft web site for "Creating Sites and Virtual Directories Using ADSI" and "Enabling ISAPI Filters Using ADSI" ' with http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Creating+Sites+and+Virtual+Directories+Using+ADSI%22+site%3Amsdn.microsoft.com ' and http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Enabling+ISAPI+Filters+Using+ADSI%22+site%3Amsdn.microsoft.com Option Explicit Dim IIsPath Dim ConnectorPath Dim FiltersObj Dim FilterObj Dim LoadOrder Dim Name 'of the filter and the virtual directory Dim DLLName 'Double-check this path ConnectorPath = "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Jakarta Isapi Redirector\bin\" 'Configure the first (default) web site on a machine.

This might be possible with the FilterFlags property, but the IIS doc says: ' "Because this property is internally configured by IIS, you should consider it to be read-only. Do not configure this property." Set FilterObj = FiltersObj.Create("IIsFilter", Name) FilterObj.FilterPath = ConnectorPath & DLLName FilterObj.SetInfo
Save this script to a file with a VBS extension. Open it in Notepad and verify that the Connector{{`Path variable is correct for your connector installation. Then open a command prompt and run it with the cscript interpreter: }}cscript filename.vbs` . Restart IIS, and test the connector as mentioned in the Howto (go to http://localhost/servlets-examples/ ).
Corrections on the above script and suggestions on how to get it into the Setup program are welcome.
You still need to do the other steps on the [http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/connectors-doc/howto/iis.html IIS Howto page], such as adding your contexts, etc.
