Subject: Tomcat 5.5 / Windows / procrun ?
It also contains a file "service.bat" which is described nowhere
It's described here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/windows-service-howto.html
which is reachable from the Setup section of the doc.
which leads to a page mentioning "procrun 1.0", but in
the same breath indicating that it is now obsolete.
Not sure why it says obsolete (current version is 1.0.1), since I think
everything in there is still accurate, although the tomcat5w.exe program
provides a much easier mechanism to change the parameters.
Since the windows-service-howto is marked obsolete, I did not "count" it
as a valid source for the procrun parameters.
But I found nowhere a link to download this procrun in binary form.
That's an unfortunate issue. You can find binaries for various Windows flavors
here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc6.0.x/trunk/res/procrun/
(Change the name of the executables to tomcat5*.exe for the older level.)
Do you want to elaborate on the unfortunate issue of why the binaries
are not available in the Commons, but are available on the Tomcat SVN ?
A related question : on the Tomcat SVN site, there are indeed various
flavors, but on my laptop after installing Tomcat with the installer, I
have only one flavor. Does the installer pick the right one for the
platform ?
And also, in the zip release of Tomcat, it seems that there is only one
of each exe. So which flavor is that ?
- the documentation of this procrun (or whatever is related to it for
Tomcat), on the Tomcat site, is out-of-date and does not match the
version of procrun that is being used above.
Actually, I think it's pretty close.
I have not actually compared with the one in the Commons, nor tested any
of this. I was writing "is out-of-date" because that's what's written
in the how-to pages on the Tomcat site.
Maybe someone should just remove that out-of-date comment, it makes the
whole thing all the more confusing.
Do you know where/how someone should suggest this ?
Thanks for the clarification on jsvc. That's at least one item that can
be removed from the list.
Actually, I still have a question, or rather some assertions in need to
be confirmed or denied :
1) One can download the zip version of Tomcat 5.5 (and 6 ?), and use the
startup scripts to start a command-window instance of Tomcat. In that
case, the executable shown running will be java.exe.
2) But starting Tomcat via these scripts will not allow to run Tomcat as
a Windows Service.
3) To run Tomcat as a Service, you have to use the Tomcat(x).exe.
4) But you can use the tomcat(x).exe from the zip distribution, it is
the same as the one installed by the Windows Installer.
