I would suggest that you investigate why this is before you call it
a "secret trap" and "stupid". There are lots of little gottchas like this
in Tomcat (and Windows in general). They are generally there because the
people at Microsoft couldn't be bothered to make all things work all the
time.

PS This problem is related to the reason that on NT and 9x you system
directory has hundreds, if not thousands, of dlls.

Ah, you probably fell for the "secret" trap laid for you by the
programmers... The stupid Tomcat jk_nt_service can't handle directories
with a space in them and the default install for Apache puts Apache in a
directory with not one, but two spaces !!
I will send you my install directions in a private e-mail. If anyone else
is interested, drop me an e-mail.

Subject: Tomcat as NT service.. problem.
I tried to setup Tomcat to start as an NT service (Win2k-Pro), as per:
Working with the Jakarta NT Service
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.2-doc/NT-Service-howto.html
And it seems OK:
E:\Net\Apache\Tools>jk_nt_service -i Tomcat
e:\Net\Apache\Tomcat\conf\wrapper.properties
Asked (and given) winsock 1.1
The service named Tomcat was created. Now adding registry entries
Registry values were added
If you have already updated wrapper.properties you may start the Tomcat
service
by executing "net start Tomcat" from the command prompt
But I get:
E:\Net\Apache\Tools>net start Tomcat
The Tomcat service is starting.
The Tomcat service could not be started.
The service did not report an error.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.
Apache runs fine as a service. :-)
Tomcat runs fine by a DOS startup.
And they run fine together via mod_jk.dll.
I did edit the wrappers.properties file to point to JDK and Tomcat; seems
simple enough.
Any help appreciated; I don't know where to look for hints, there are no log
files or errors generated.
