Is anyone has any idea what i need to do if i would like to integrate the IIS with other application server, where the IIS will serves as a front end web server and forward the request to the different applications running on the application server.

For example: (Two websites - www.app1.com and www.app2.com)

If the user browsing the www.app1.com, then the IIS will forward the request to the application called 'app1' deployed on the application server, then if the user browsing the www.app2.com, then the IIS will forward the request to the application called 'app2' deployed on the application server.

re: IIS Integration with other Application Server


Hi,

usually the application server provides a special plugin for use with a http server. E.g. WebSphere is providing a module/plugin for Apache & IIS. It's configured by a XML file which will be generated by the WebSphere admin console. If you're using Tomcat: it may be fronted with an Apache HTTP server my using the module mod_jk, but there has to be an IIS analogon.

Check the documentation of your application server what possibilites are given.

Regards,

Bernd
