Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hello All,

I am relatively new with Java and I am just now trying to learn Tomcat and servlet technologies. I can get the servlets working on my personal computer, yet I cannot get it configured for the server. From all the forum posts and web sites I have researched, it is my understanding that there is a configuration process that needs to be done to allow IIS to request the Tomcat servlet. However, maybe I'm just plain dumb, but I can't understand all the how-to's that I have found.

I am assuming I DLed the appropiate .dll file and I placed it in Tomcat's bin folder.

But then I have to create a properties file? I have no clue how to do this.

I am still messing with the instructions, etc., but if anyone has any suggestions, or maybe a link to a dummie-fied How-to page, that would be extrememly helpful.

I am currently running IIS on a win2k server.

Thanks guys.

(btw, for people who are having trouble setting the environment variable, with win2k, I was trying to do it with DOS, and it did not work. However, using the control panel > system > I was able to do it and the setting "stuck")
