Is it possible to run IIS and Tomcat side by side?

I am required to publish a JSP/Java servlets webapp. Unfortunately IIS does not support such deployments. The server I need to deploy it on already runs IIS and several IIS applications. I don't want to interfere with those applications but it is necessary for them and the new webapp to run on the same server. I tried setting up a proxy to redirect traffic to tomcat, but that broke the other applications.

I was wondering if it's possible to run IIS (accessible through good ol' port 80) and tom开发者_C百科cat (running on port 8080); and be able to access both remotely. So far my efforts have been fruitless. Accessing IIS applications yielded no problems, but when I tried to connect to tomcat the browser would just time out. I unblocked port 8080 as well, so I'm sure that is not the issue.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

It's definitely possible, as long as they run on different ports. If you can access tomcat locally (http://localhost:8080) but not remotely, then it's a firewall issue. Also, if you really wanted you could have iis forward requests to tomcat.

You can arrange IIS and Tomcat in 2 different IP addresses or you can setup reverse-proxy (nginx, lighttpd, mod_proxy, etc.) to port 80 and then set IIS to use port 8080 and for Tomcat port 9090.

Melder, It is perfectly possible to run IIS & Tomcat on same port with Different IPs. One server can have multiple virtual IPs for the same.
