Hi,

I'm running Win2k and Tomcat as a service. It took a few minutes to figure
out how to handle the wrapper.properties file -- Win2k does not allow for
proper handling of directory names with spaces in them. You must therefore
put double quotes around each entry in the classpath, and the home-dir and
config file path *in the command line* at the bottom. Otherwise, you get
NoClassDefExceptions or the help screen output of the Tomcat class.

This is because Win2k, in its infinite wisdom, encourages the use of paths
that include spaces, such as: C:\Program Files\... So the command line
that is fed by the default wrapper.properties file is:

java -classpath C:\Program Files\Apache Group\tomcat\... etc

Win2k barfs on this command line because of the spaces in the classpath.
To fix, you have to engineer wrapper.properties to feed this command line:

java -classpath "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\..." etc

Same for -h and -c options of the Tomcat class.

later,
sev
