Hi. On this subject - in the older Tomcat service executable (specifically jk_nt_service.exe for TC 3) the executable was pointed at a wrapper.properties file.
This wrapper.properties provided the means to add new -X and -D properties to the executable without having to re-install the service as it was read in at start time. Is there any plan/chance that this could also be possible for the new tomcat5.exe? The main reason is if you wanted to change the -Xmx setting (as a good example) through code - it is a lot simpler to do this in a wrapper.properties and then simply restart the service - as opposed to removing the service and then re-installing it. Thanks in advance.

There is a service.bat file that can install and uninstall the service.
