[mapguide-users] Making MapGuide JSP to work with IIS (the missing link -- almost there!)

[inspiron2]

Hi,

I am trying to make MapGuide open source work with IIS, and using JSP (java)
as development language.

I am able to make MapGuide Java (JSP) work in Tomcat + Apache.
ajaxViewersample.jsp and ajaxtiledviewersample.jsp work just fine.

Also, I am able to make Tomcat work with IIS 6 in Windows 2003. The ISAPI
redirect DLL loads fine, and I am able to execute all JSP examples.

I am also able to configue IIS + PHP manually. PHP samples and Site Admin
work fine under IIS 6 (W 2003 SP2 standard).

What I am not able to figure out is how to make MapGuide's java side (i.e.
JSP) work with IIS. Here is what I have done so far: (IIS 6 + W2003 standard
SP2)

As described above, successfuly integrated isapi_redirect.dll into IIS, and
it run's Tomcat's JSP examples just fine. Note: Tomcat is installed by the
MapGuide install program in it's default location (C:\Program
Files\MapGuideOpenSource2.0\WebServerExtensions\Tomcat), and since MapGuide
install doesn't include JSP example files, I had to copy the example files
into the C:\Program
Files\MapGuideOpenSource2.0\WebServerExtensions\Tomcat\webapps\examples
directory.

Created a new Web Service Extension in IIS. extension: mapagent; pointed it
to isapi_MapAgent.dll in www\mapagent directory. The status is "Allowed"

Created an application called "mapguide" in IIS under the Default Web Site,
and pointed it to the www directory. Execute permissions are "Scripts adn
Executables". An extension ".php" was defined under it's configuration, and
the executable picked was php5isapi.dll in Php directory.

Created an application called "mapagent" in IIS under the above created
mapguide application. It's dir was pointed to \mapguide\mapagent, and it
also had "Scripts and Executables" permission. Under it's configuration, an
extension ".fcgi" was created and linked to isapi_MapAgent.dll executable.

At this point:
 - PHP based site admin (for MapGuide) worked fine!
(http://localhost/mapguide/mapadmin/login.php)
 - MapAgent worked fine.
http://localhost/mapguide/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi?OPERATION=ENUMERATERESOURCES&VERSION=1.0.0&LOCALE=en&RESOURCEID=Library://&TYPE=&DEPTH=-1
resulted in an XML document following a user-id/password prompt.
 - Web Extensions worked fine.
http://localhost/mapguide/mapviewerajax/ajaxviewer.php?WEBLAYOUT=Library://ATest.WebLayout
and
http://localhost/mapguide/mapviewerajax/ajaxviewer.aspx?WEBLAYOUT=Library://ATest.WebLayout
gave the expected "Resource not found" message.

At this point, I created two virtual directories under "mapguide" level,
called them javaviewersample and javasamples, and linked them to
corresponding physical directories in the www folder.

The uriworkermap.properties files in the Tomcat conf directory contains
following lines:

/examples/*=worker1  <-- this one works, so I know that isapi_redirect
mechanism and Tomcat are working.
/mapguide/javaviewersample/* worker1
/mapguide/javasamples/* worker1
/mapguide/mapviewerajax/* worker1

When I try any of the following URL's, I get page not found error.  Any
ideas?

http://w2003/mapguide/javaviewersample/ajaxviewersample.jsp
http://w2003/mapguide/javaviewersample/ajaxtiledviewersample.jsp
http://w2003/mapguide/javasamples/index.jsp
http://w2003/mapguide/mapviewerajax/ajaxviewer.jsp?WEBLAYOUT=Library://ATest.WebLayout

I know that I am this close, but can't figure out the missing link. I can
guess that "examples" context is working because it is in Tomcat's default
location (i.e. Webapps) folder. But how do I make it work for applications
which are not in the default webapps folder, but others (e.g. javasamples
and javaviewersample). Or, may be, my problem lies else where.

I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP I COULD GET IN THIS REGARD!

THANKS!!!!!!
