I am as many others before trying to get Tomcat execute JSP/Sevlets for IIS using it�s JK2 connector. I have followed the description in Professional Apache Tomcat 5, chapter 13, carefully and the connection seems to work with one exception: The returned response for a call http://localhost/jsp-examples/dates/date.jsp is not served as HTML. Instead am I prompted to "Open with .." or Save the response to disk, as for an binary file requested from a web site. Have anyone here have had the same problem before or has a clue to what the problem can be? In my view should the problem be that the virtual IIS directory for Tomcat (named /jakarta) is not configured to be allowed to execute executeables, only scripts. But that is not the answer because I have configured the directory to allow scripts and executeables wether it is necessary or not. I am sure this is just something I have overlooked in the setup and I am sure other have had the same problem before, so I hope someone of you reading this is one of them : )

If you do save the output, is it HTML or just the JSP script?

I tried that also and it is NOT HTML, if it is AJP13 source or just binary am I not quite sure about, I just cared about that it was not HTML. Then is the question of course why it is not HTML? But as I understand should the isapi_redirector2.dll file take care of that. And I can as I understand not configure it to explicitly talk HTML to IIS (and AJP/1.3 to Tomcat of course) because that is what it should always do! So something is strange here. Because I actually can request JSP-files from /jsp-examples/* like /jsp-examples/dates/date.jsp, that is they are recognized, do I think everything should be configured correctly. But something in the chain of communication gets weird. But I am very thankful for all suggetions like this from you because if they are not the direct answer they may at least help me get an idea on the answer myself.

I took another look and at least when I requested the JSP file did I got a binary response. A quick guess would be that I got the comiled JSP page returned. Or may it be the AJP/1.3 response that looks binary? Is it the ISAPI filter that then not translates that to HTML? I don�t know, I am still too new to Tomcat to know that : ) ... and the documentation for IIS on Tomcat is not too good.
