Windows Server 2003 Streaming Media Services and Apache Tomcat

Hello,
I am trying to set up Windows Media Services to work with a site pushed out via Tomcat. According to Window's Documentation:

If you choose to enable HTTP streaming for the Windows Media Unicast service, Windows Media Administrator configures HTTP streaming to use port 80. If you enable HTTP streaming and use port 80, you cannot run Windows Media server components and an HTTP server on the same computer unless you configure Windows Media Services to depend on the Web services. Otherwise, the Windows Media server components and HTTP service compete for use of that port.

We have enabled HTTP Streaming and port 80 is in use. So I am trying to configure Windows Media Services to depend on my Web Service. The Documentation provides you with instructions on how to enable this for IIS, it's a registry modification.

The documentation continues:

You must set Windows Media component services to be dependent on the Web service so that the Web service can bind to port 80. If you do not set this dependency, then Windows Media server components might bind to port 80 first, and the Web server will not function properly. If you use Windows Media Services with a Web server other than IIS, check the documentation for that server for instructions on setting dependencies.

I have been searching through the net and documentation all day and haven't found anything regarding setting up Streaming Media to depend on Tomcat. I'm using Apache Tomcat 4.1.30. Has any one out there done this??

Thanks,
Erin

 

Can you just modify the DependOnService key in the same way, but give it the tomcat service?

 

I would like to be able to, but the registry addition doesn't look to be an IIS specific entry, below are the instructions, what do you think?

4. Edit the registry to make the Windows Media component services depend on the World Wide Web Publishing Service:

a. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).

NOTE: It is important that you use Regedt32.exe and not Regedit.exe.
b. Click to highlight the DependOnService value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\nsunicast
c. On the Edit menu, click Multi String..., type W3SVC at the end of the list of services, and then click OK.
d. Quit Registry Editor.
