Can Java EE web applications be hosted on IIS - java

Can we host a Java EE web application on IIS 5.1 server on windows XP?

You can forward your requests from IIS to another local tomcat or other java application server.

You can install your Application Server into the same machine as the IIS server. Then use AJP to connect IIS to your Java APPServer.
But I don't think you will be able to run Java Applications directly from IIS only.

AFAIK Java EE cannot be hosted in IIS. To host Java EE Application you need at least Servlet container or a full Java EE container which is not supported by IIS. Although, some plugin might be able to do so.
As for your reference, below link is Java EE compatibility by oracle:

IIS can never Java web-applications directly. But with a plugin we can do it..
You can refer this page.

Absolutely you can. If you need further info you'll have to provide more info about the type of Java application you wish to use, and the version of IIS.

Java JVM versus Glassfish

I'm really new to Java and I have a basic question. I'm getting ready to deploy a Java web service that I have created in Netbeans/Glassfish. I used Netbeans because of the development GUI and tools. Of course I also deployed to Netbean's built in GF server because of easy and simplicity. I have a Windows 8 server with IIS that I now need to deploy this to. I was thinking that since Java 1.7 EE was already on my IIS server, than I wouldn't need a "container server" like GF but that doesn't appear to be the case. So, I'm confused. What's the difference between the server that Glassfish creates and the JVM that Java EE creates when it is installed? If I have to install Glassfish on my IIS server, am I going to have competing web services and port conflicts to resolve?
Thank you.
The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is used to execute any Java program. However, all it does is execute the byte code in a Java binary, for example a Java archive (.jar) file. It does not include implementations of many of the Java EE libraries.
A web application, typically deployed as a web archive (.war) file, usually requires libraries not provided by the JVM. In addition, the standard Java web application architecture means that the entry point for the application is not in the .war file - it is in the web application server, which then calls into the code provided in the .war file.
The web application server, which includes full J2EE containers like Glassfish and also more limited web servers like Tomcat and Jetty, acts as an intermediate layer, running on a JVM and executing the web application provided in the .war file.
Probably the best way to run your application on an IIS server is to set up the IIS server as the front end - so the client facing ports would be under IIS control - and set up the web server as a back end to which IIS forwards the relevant requests.

Is there a way to use WebSockets on IBM WebSphere Application Server?

I am migrating a web application based on Apache Tomcat 7.0.35 using the WebSocket Servlets to IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS). The problem is that I don't think WAS supports WebSockets.
You can try the WebSphere Liberty 8.5.5.4 -- this supports WebSockets. See announcement here.
See also:
Liberty profile: Web Sockets
WAS doesn't support WebSockets as stated on an IBM forum here. What you can do is to investigate if you can deploy in WAS one of the WebSockets server implementations (check this list).
You can also try embedding the Jetty Web Server on the java application to run on your WebSphere Application Server - http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/embedding-jetty.html. Another option is to make use of a WebSockets implementation (e.g. Wabbit), or make use of an Application Server that supports the Java EE 7 specs, like IBM WAS 9.

Hosting Java Web Project on IIS [duplicate]

Has anybody found a way to run a Java web application within IIS? It seems to me it should be entirely possible to write an ISAPI plugin (is that the right word?) that integrates Jetty or a custom servlet container with IIS. The benefit of this is that a lot of great high end Java applications like Jira require separate infrastructure for an otherwise all Microsoft shop.
I think you will find of use the following two articles
Use Microsoft's Internet Information
Server as a Java servlet engine
Java + ISAPI + Jetty = JSP on IIS
Running JVM inside IIS worker process currently is a bad idea. I suggest you to use solution from this article instead: Deploying Java Servlet applications on Windows with IIS
Microsoft has recently released (2015 Q1) HttpPlatformHandler module for IIS 8+ that lets you host java (or node/ruby applications etc), on IIS.

Deploy War File in Microsoft IIS 7

I would like to ask how can I deploy a war file to Microsoft IIS 7?
Thanks in advance.
You can't. You need a Java EE Web Container such as Tomcat or JBoss in order to do so. IIS can just act as a front facing proxy for the stuff hosted through the WAR file.
What you probably need is a way to connect IIS and Tomcat together so that requests for any dynamic resources such as JSPs and Servlets can be delegated to Tomcat.
The following link explains how to do so in detail.
http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/webserver_howto/iis.html
Please read this article: Deploying Java Servlet applications on Windows with IIS The Java is running on Jetty and IIS is used as a proxy, but in this solution all components are fit together to make it look and feel like it is built-in IIS feature of running WAR files.
