Ok, I got it to work. It was a little tricky, though. So I'll try to explain how it
works for me:
First of all, I am using Windows 2000, Tomcat 4.0.1, Cocoon 2.0 (and some 1.3.xx
Apache which
is less important for this matter).
It was not necessary to download the JavaService binary from alexandriasc.com, Tomcat 4
comes with everything that is required for installation as a service - alas you need
their actual
(very looooong) command to install it properly on your system.
Second I have set the environment variables JAVA_HOME (e.g. c:\j2sdk1.4.0-beta3)
and CATALINA_HOME (e.g. c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1)
I created two empty textfiles named 'stderr.log' and 'stdout.log' in
{TOMCAT_HOME}\logs.
Then I made sure I had the 'tomcat.exe' in {TOMCAT_HOME}\bin.
In the same path I created a textfile named 'install.bat' with the following content:
tomcat.exe -install Tomcat
%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
-Djava.class.path=%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\bootstrap.jar;%CATALINA_HOME%\common\lib\servlet.jar;%JAVA_
HOME%\lib\tools.jar -Dcatalina.home=%CATALINA_HOME% -start
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap -params start -stop
org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap -params stop -out
%CATALINA_HOME%\logs\stdout.log -err %CATALINA_HOME%\logs\stderr.log
Please note, that this is ONE command with only ONE line and therefore no linebreaks
in between.
I also created the 'uninstall.bat' with this line:
tomcat.exe -uninstall Tomcat
Now I only needed to execute 'install.bat' to do what the filename says (install
Tomcat as NT-Service, of course).
Executing 'uninstall.bat' will unregister the service (but why?).
I hope someone will find this useful. I also suggest to include installation
batchfiles (not necessarily mine) for NT in the
original Tomcat distribution, because 'tomcat.exe' feels a little useless without this
help (are there any Cocoon
developers listening?).
Ciao
