Here is how you do it -- It is detailed in the MS help docs goto the win2k resource disk (or an old NT disk will do) and find the 2 files srvany.exe and instsrv.exe
create a no command batch to start tomcat. I.E if you use TC 3.2 make "tomcat start" into a batch "tomcatstart" (it doesn't like arguments) now, at the commandline type instsrv TOMCAT <path-to srvany.exe> now you have to make some registry hacks. goto \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentControlSet\services and find your TOMCAT key in there add sub keys to the TOMCAT service add Parameters in there add 2 string values and set their values to AppDirectory <path to tomcat> Application <path to tomcat batch> See http://home.stny.rr.com/cbongior/pics/tomcat.jpg (qulaity may not be so good) Now you can run tomcat like any other service. You still need to stop it the old fashioned way though Chris -----Original Message----- From: Owain Lewis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 8:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tomcat as a service I am a relativley new Tomcat user, and have been charged with the task of setting up Tomcat 3.2 to run as a service on a Windows2000 server. I've read lots of the documentation relating to this and have had some success setting it up. I have managed to create tomcat as a service which starts automatically. However the system we are running requires Java1.3.1 which causes an error with the program I used to set up the service. The result being that the service terminates when the current user logs out of the server. I'm struggling to find any other way of configuring the system to work and would appreciate any advice/experiences others have had with this problem. Thanks in advance.
