In my case i want to host a site which has jsp and asp page under one folder, physically located under iis not under TOMCAT. I have one more question: if a put my folder under tomcat and create a virtual folder at iis then can the ASP page be proceed? @Jeson.I’m facing same kind of problem like Bret.

I initially tried adding a bunch of different contexts for each virtual directory but then ran into path issues within the JSP when referencing images and other files since my base path was no longer wwwroot. What I'm doing now is using the Tomcat ISAPI rewrites.properties to rewrite any virtual context to it's actual context. This seems to do the job. There are still however issues within some of the JSPs that do JSP includes to virtual directories. All of this somehow worked with JRun before. The JRun ISAPI in IIS must have been smart enough to use virtuals in IIS for JRun as well. Thanks Jason.

I'm not exactly sure how to get this to work but I think you should be able to create another "Context" record in conf/Server.xml so that Tomcat will also know the physical location of the files as well. Basically in this setup you are fooling Tomcat into thinking it is a normal web server, so it doesn't have any awareness that it is running via a proxy and it doesn't have any awareness of IIS settings. @Bret The problem is that you mapped a virtual URL to a physical file location within IIS, but you did not tell Tomcat the same information.

I have my docBase set to C:/InetPub/wwwroot and I have a file test.jsp under C:/InetPub/wwwroot/directory1/directory2. I am able to hit http://localhost/directory1/directory2/test.jsp without any issues. I run into issues when I create a virtual directory that points to C:/InetPub/wwwroot/directory1/directory2. I want to be able to hit this jsp through the virtual directory. Eg. http://localhost/virtualdirectory/test.jsp I get a Tomcat 404 error though. I think this is because Tomcat doesn't see the virtual directory since it's part of IIS and not on the filesystem which Tomcat is looking at. This does work through virtual directories with IIS and JRun though. Any idea how I would get this working with Tomcat? I have this working but have another issue now with virtual directories.
