Thanks to all those who replied, and tried to help.

I was asked... 

Why we want to use Java: well, our shop has expertise in JSP (and related
Java technologies), so it will be a lot easier to develop in Java than
trying to learn PHP and .Net etc. 

Why we want to use IIS: we used to use Apache, but we had good success with
integrating Tomcat with IIS. Besides, that allowed us to run other content
which was IIS friendly (e.g. ASP, etc).

As you can see, we have the expertise in integrating Tomcat with IIS, but
that was with an older version of Tomcat (3.2ish). So we weren't sure if a).
the new version of Tomcat will function with IIS (or if MapGuide absolutely
requires the latest version of Tomcat), and b). if this set up will work for
MapGuide. 

QUESTION: someone suggested to just do a repair/install on web server
extensions and just install the Java portion. Does that option automatically
configures IIS to work with Tomcat?

thanks again.
