For  more  information  on  using  Apache  and  Tomcat,  you  should  consult  the  web  sites  for  Apache,

http://httpd.apache.org,  and Tomcat, http://jakarta.apache.org.  Note that you can run Apache on both Windows  and

Unix

 machines,

 as

 well

 as

 Mac

 machines.

Microsoft Servers and Tomcat

If you wish to deploy Microsoft PWS or IIS as your web server, it is possible to use them with Tomcat as a servlet

container. 

Tomcat comes with instructions  for configuring it as a servlet container for IIS and PWS. The configuration has to

be  done  manually,  and,  although  straightforward,  it  has  a  number  of  steps  that  must  be  followed  carefully  and

involves editing the Windows registry by hand. Because of these manual steps, it is perhaps easier to use JRun with

these servers.

You need to make sure that you edit the workers.properties  file, found in the Tomcat conf directory,  to

give  values  to workers.tomcat_home  and  workers.java_home.  The  required  settings  will  be  clear from

the description in the file.

Apache/Microsoft Servers and JRun

JRun provides a Connector Wizard, which is accessible through the JRun Management Console. This can be used to

forward requests to webMathematica.

2.7 Testing

You should now be able to restart your server and connect to webMathematica. Note that you may have to modify

the URLs shown in this document to connect to your servlet container; for example, the URL may require a different

port number than 8080, which is chosen as the default port for direct access to Apache Tomcat. The URL that you

use  to  test  your  servlet  container  will  show  the  correct  URL  to  use  for  webMathematica.  In  addition,  you  should

note that the URL is case sensitive, so make sure to type in capitals as they appear. 

You  may  first  want  to  connect  to  the  webMathematica  front  page  via  http://localhost:8080/webMathematica;  this

should  look  similar  to  the  picture  below.  It  contains  links  to  examples,  documentation,  templates,  images,  and

external references.
