Re: switching between Java8 and Java 7 under tomcat7 leads to error
Be careful. The only real way to know what tomcat is using is to get into the manager who will display the java version it is using. Their startup script makes some determination on the fly.

Or does it > change some global parameters that tomcat reads at start time. 1. That "The service "Apache Tomcat 6.0 Tomcat6" terminated with service-specific error: Incorrect function .." error (thanks to Google Translate) is coming from service wrapper, not from Tomcat itself. Tomcat own errors are logged into textual log files, they are not shown as a message window. See the log files in Tomcat's logs directory. There is separate file for the service there. Note that service wrapper (tomcat6.exe, tomcat7.exe) must be the same 32 vs 64 bit version as the Java jvm dll that you are using. My guess is that this mismatch is the reason for the error that you are observing. The Tomcat-[version].exe installer automatically detects 32 vs. 64bit architecture by the jvm that you choose during installation, and installs that version of wrapper. If you download Tomcat as a zip file, the only difference between "32-bit" and "64-bit" Windows zip archives is the version of service wrapper and the version of tc-native.dll. 2. If no jvm.dll is configured, or configured jvm.dll is not found then the service wrapper tries to use the default (latest) JVM configured in the system. That default jvm changes when you upgrade from java 7 to java 8. Also Java 8 installer usually asks (prompts) you to uninstall old versions of java. You may have uninstalled the old version and it is no longer found.

My thoughts came to tomcat6 possibly not being compatible with Java8 and so I decided to install tomcat 7.0 which started fine. When starting my CMS system again I now found that it did some unpleasant things for which I wanted to rule out tomcat7 being the culprit and switch the jvm.dll in the tomcat7 configurator to the jre1.7 jvm.dll. Then suddenly I got the same error as under tomcat6.0 when I tried to start tomcat7 again. Could it be that the Java8 installer screws the existing Java 7 ? Or does it change some global parameters that tomcat reads at start time.
