This is a walkthrough to help you use ISAPI Filters to run Tomcat on a Windows Server Machine that uses IIS7. If you're interested in setting up Tomcat under Apache, see this other lab.usgin.org walkthrough.

A couple of other webpages that I used to learn how to do this are located here and here.

This cookbook describes how GeoNetwork 2.4.1 can be made to work under Tomcat 5.5 (JDK 1.5.0_17) on Windows XP. This document expands on http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/wiki/HowToRunUnderTomcat and assumes that you have been able to successfully install and run GeoNetwork 2.4.1.

The GeoNetwork installer deploys the Jetty Web/servlet engine and McKoi SQL Database DBMS plus 3 Java applications: geonetwork (CSW client/server, and more), geoserver (WMS, WFS, WCS server), and intermap (WMS client). We decided to move the GeoNetwork applications to the Tomcat Web server because our production server is already running Tomcat and because it offers additional functionality (load balancing, etc.) for future growth. In the future, we may also replace McKoi with our existing PostgreSQL DBMS.

On a machine running Tomcat and Apache, you can set things up so that instead of having to type Tomcat URLs with ":8080" on the end of the domain, you use a proxy to redirect that traffic to Tomcat.

I had to adjust two files: httpd.conf in my \conf directory, and server.xml in my \conf directory. My edited files are attached.

For the Apache configuration (httpd.conf), you have to do three things:

1. Uncomment three lines by deleting the "#" at the beginning of the line:
