SJSAS 9.0 problems with sun-passthrough.dll using IIS 6.0
I am using IIS 6.0 as http server. I have correctly installed SJSAS 9.0 and it is working fine listening on port 8081. I have followed all documentation to get sun-passthrough.dll to work as ISAPI filter in IIS. Have followed the following VERBATIM :
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2555/6n4r9qo8g?a=view
But it all looks well but does not forward requests specified in the sun-passthrough.properties file to port 8081. IIS returns the standard error page saying that the file is not available etc.
If anyone knows how to get IIS 6.0 to pass certain requests to SJSAS 9.0 then I would be most grateful for the advice.

I forgot to mention that I have found a work-around for this problem:
By using URL forwarding through IIS it is possible to do the following:
Suppose you have a webapp deployed under /webapp on the AS. It should be possible to go to a remote browser and access the webapp by going to http://www.yourdomain.com:8081/webapp
Therefore it is possible to create a folder in the correct part of the website inetpub directory with the same name as the webapp and then set the redirection to point to http://www.yourdomain.com:8081/webapp
This has the effect of permitting the user to go to http://www.yourdomain.com/webapp and then it is seamlessly redirected to SJSAS to serve the webapp. The only draw back is that the browser address bar now displays which port SJSAS is running on. Would this cause any security issues? Thanks for the advice.
