True; but if you're at the point where you're installing Tomcat, I think some prerequisite knowledge is expected.

Yes, procrun greatly simplifies turning the JVM into a service, but I doubt that it's the only way. > a) the zip/tarball version also include whatever is needed to wrap the > JVM and Tomcat into the Windows Service wrapper ? Yup, even the tarball includes the Windows scripts and .exe programs. Use the service.bat script to install or remove the service. > b) the JVM nowadays handles this fine on its own, and does > not need the wrapper anymore ? It's not a problem with the JVM, but with how Windows likes to kick off services. It might be possible to set up a Java-based service without procrun, but I haven't played with it, since procrun makes it so easy. > c) you really need the wrapped version if you want to run Tomcat as a > service, and only the Service installer provides that wrapper ? Yes to the first part (for practical purposes), no to the second. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
