Using the ISAPI Filter

Follow these steps if you are using the ISAPI filter instead of the IIS to tomcat connector approach.

Download and Configure an ISAPI Filter

...

Code Block
# 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=c:\isapi\logs\isapi_redirect.log

# Log level (debug, info, warn, error or trace)
log_level=info

# Full path to the workers.properties file
worker_file=c:\isapi\conf\workers.properties

# Full path to the uriworkermap.properties file
worker_mount_file=c:\isapi\conf\uriworkermap.properties

If you have modified the port for the AJP Connector you will need to modify the workers.properties file. The file c:\isap\conf\workers.properties assumes that Tomcat is running on the same machine as IIS and using the default port (8009) for AJP.  Make adjustments if necessary.

Code Block
worker.list=workerFrevvo
worker.workerFrevvo.host=localhost
worker.workerFrevvo.port=8009
worker.workerFrevvo.type=ajp13

 The file c:\isap\conf\uriworkmap.properties lists the http request paths that will be forwarded to 

Code Block
/frevvo/*=workerFrevvo
