IIS web server to Borland web container connectivity
This section describes the Tomcat-based Borland web container, its IIOP connector,
as well as the IIS/IIOP redirector which provides connectivity from the Microsoft
Internet Information Services (IIS) web server (not included with BES products) to the
Borland web container. These features are provided in the BES AppServer Edition, and
can be optionally installed (Web Services pack (VisiExchange) component) as part of
VisiBroker Edition. For more information, go to the BES Installation Guide.
Modifying the IIOP configuration in the Borland web container
The server.xml is the main configuration file for the Borland web container and is
stored in your Partition's data directory:
adm/tomcat/conf/
Within the server.xml file is a section that pertains to the IIOP connector configuration.
For detailed configuration information, go to “Modifying the Borland web container IIOP
configuration” on page 41.

How to Configure your Windows 2003/XP/2000 system on which IIS is
running
1 Add the OSAGENT_PORT required environment variable to the SYSTEM environment.
The IISredirectory relies on BES VisiBroker to provide the IIOP communication layer
between IIS and the Borland web container. In order to function, VisiBroker requires
that the following environment variable be defined as follows:
Environment Variable Value Description
OSAGENT_PORT 14000 The numeric value of the OSAGENT port number
used by your AppServer.
Important
After setting the OSAGENT_PORT environment variable, in order for IIS to detect it, you
must reboot the Windows system.
