Configuration of the ISAPI redirector using isapi_redirect.properties is the preferred method of configuration for many sites as it allows: - Non registry based config - Multiple redirector configurations per server machine/IIS (currently one per website) Using the properties file for config is not documented in any of the Tomcat docs, leading many people to think that this support has been dropped.
There is no isapi_redirect.properties file. Use either installer, provided vbs script or manual installation for isapi_redirector.
Well seeing as I contributed the code for the IIS redirector to load config from the properties file, I'm going to disagree. Have a look at DllMain in jk_isapi_plugin.c, where it constructs the filename based on the name of the DLL, and read_registry_init_data, where it tries to load the config from the properties before falling back to the registry. This allows you to colocate the redirector config with the redirector (good), and allows you to have multiple redirectors per physical server (essential).
This is very good,I like it
Created attachment 15649 [details] Sample isapi_redirect.properties Sample isapi_redirect.properties file, showing how to configure the ISAPI redirector using a properties file instead of the Windows registry.
Created attachment 15650 [details] Updates to IIS config to demonstrate isapi_redirect.properties Updated the doc source to show how to use isapi_redirect.properties to configure the ISAPI Redirector.
Commited. Thanks!
