dear sumit,
here's what the docs say
The Jakarta NT service is an executable that wraps the Tomcat servlet container and
executes it in the background as an NT
service. To install it you will need to:
1.Get a hold on the NT executable (jk_nt_service.exe)
Download the executable from the win32/i386 directory found where you
downloaded the Tomcat binary
distribution. For those using Netscape as your browser, try downloading a
zip version of the file, if available. There
can be problems using Netscape to download DLL files.
2.Customize a properties file that provides the service with Tomcat information
(wrapper.properties).
Locate the wrapper.properties template file in your Tomcat conf directory.
Update the wrapper.tomcat_home property to point at your tomcat home.
Update the wrapper.java_home property to point at your Java home.
3.Install jk_nt_service by running it with the -i flag.
Execute jk_nt_service -I <name of service> <path to updated wrapper
properties>
<name of service> should be a single word (without and spaces) such as
Jakarta
<path to updated wrapper properties> should point to your wrapper.properties
file (and the service will check it's
existence.)
For example, a valid command line can be jk_nt_service -I Jakarta
wrapper.properties
4.Start tomcat as a service.
From the command line, execute net start <name of service> (e.g. net start
Jakarta)
From the NT services applet, highlight your service and press start.
Note: If the log file location in your wrapper.properties file points to the logs
directory, and the logs directory doesn't yet
exist, manually create it before starting the service.
5.Stop Tomcat as a service.
From the command line, execute net stop <name of service> (e.g. net stop
Jakarta)
From the NT services applet, highlight your service and press stop.
Special note: The Tomcat service is using AJPV12 to perform clean shutdown and you
should make sure that an AJPV12
connector is defined in your server.xml. In the absence of a configured AJPV12 port
the Tomcat service will kill Tomcat abruptly
(that is murder it) without giving it a chance to clean up.
To remove the installed service, execute jk_nt_service -R <name of service>
