Procrun problems with Tomcat 6 on Windows 64-bit
Hi, I've been looking on the web and the Tomcat wiki and haven't found any solution to this problem.
I have a 64-bit Windows 2008 server with Java 1.6_20 (64-bit) and 64-bit tomcat 6.0.26 (6.0.29 also) installed as a service. I also have a Liferay portal that I need to install. But I am having problems with the startup. (BTW, I use the tomcat6w.exe gui mostly.) If I use startmode=jvm, the Spring framework in Liferay loops until I get a StackOverflowException, no matter the stack size. However, if I start with startmode=java the Spring framework initializes correctly, however some logs appear in the java directory instead of the Tomcat one even though the user.dir is set to Tomcat. Further, when startmode=java the stop service on tomcat6w.exe returns successful after a long wait, but the Tomcat server is still actually running. I have to manually kill the Java process that Tomcat is running in. My choices seem to be having a non-functional Tomcat or an unstable one.
I wrote a cheap JSP that dumps out all the session, request and system properties. I've ruled all the differences out that I could (server lib path, classpath, etc). The only one I couldn't was:
Property: "sun.java.launcher" value = "SUN_STANDARD"
My first question is why does the startmode make such a difference in the behavior of Tomcat? Secondly, how can I either stabilize startmode=java or better yet get startmode=jvm working?

Chuck,
I appreciate any time you can spare on this.

It's on the list of things to look at, but doing what I actually get paid for is taking precedence at the moment.

Andrew,
We've been using tomcatw largely because it has big friendly buttons (that no one can mistake) for the start and stop. It's worth a try to use the service bat instead, though I would think the results should be about the same. I'll test and post back next week.

Hi Kevin,
Personally I do not use the "w.exe" gui. I manage all tomcats via
Services, and update the service.bat file if any registry/config
settings etc need to be changed, so that we can manage changes/roll
backs via SVN. This also makes it simpler since we have many TCs on
same OS.
So, I recommend you download the .ZIP version, and install the service
using services.bat
I also rename the tomcat6 to whatever service name I need, so that I
can install multiple tomcats on the same server OS.
Via the services.bat you can also change the logging path, jvm, set
threads size, memory, etc.
e.g. of our services.bat if this helps you out.
