Just today, I had to link IIS to Tomcat 5.5. I had done this for quite a few years.

It was an interesting
experience. I will attach some useful links below, but first a word of advice :

The Tomcat Connectors web site says that the jk2 connector is deprecated because of a lack of interest
and advices everyone to use the jk1.2 connector. I spent approximately 3-4 hours on the jk1.2
connector with Tomcat 5.5.20 and IIS 5.1 on XP and could not make it work. Rechecked multiple times
and everything was configured exactly as the documentation suggested but IIS would not forward to
Tomcat.

Gave up and went to the JK2 connector and configured it according to the documentation and voila it
worked on the first go.

Below is a good link to link Tomcat with IIS. The only changes I have done from this guide is using the
latest Tomcat (5.5.0), JDK 1.5 and I used IIS 5.1 on XP.

Broad Steps are :

1. Install IIS. Test independently.
2. Install JDK.
3. Install Tomcat. Test independently.
4. Setup environment variables JAVA_HOME and CATALINA_HOME in "Control Panel -> System" in your
Windows configuration. The former should point to where Java is installed and the later to where
Tomcat is installed.
5. Now, Stop Tomcat and IIS services.
6. Edit workers2.properties in your /conf directory to have values that match your environment and
installation directories. My example one is below.
7. Restart Tomcat.
8. Install the following configuration entries into the Windows registry. Edit the entries to match your
environment.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apache Software Foundation\Jakarta Isapi Redirector\2.0]
"workersFile"="c:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 5.5\\conf\\workers2.properties"
"extensionUri"="/jakarta/isapi_redirector2.dll"
"logLevel"="debug"
"serverRoot"="c:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Tomcat 5.5\\"

9. Install the Tomcat connector as an ISAPI filter.

(a) Go to your IIS manager and right click on your web site and go to properties.
(b) Select ISAPI filters
(c) Add one, give it a name, any name and then browse to the location where you unpacked the
isapi_redirector2.dll and select it.
(d) Save.

10. Create a virtual directory on your website, call it "jakarta" and then point it to the directory where
your isapi_redirector2.dll is installed. Give it execute permission.

11. Restart (start) IIS. For good measure, start the WWW service in the "services" screen of your control
panel and ensure that your "default web site" is running.

12. Test. http://localhost/servlets-examples/

It should work. Good luck

[uri:/servlets-examples/*]
info=Servlet examples, map requests for all servlets to Tomcat.

This is the link which I found useful. It does deal with IIS 6 which is available only on Windows Server
2003. Just use the steps above for IIS 5
