           Summary: Configurable Windows service name
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.17
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Native:Packaging
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: brondsem@apache.org


tomcat.nsi should be modified so that the windows service name is configurable
instead of always "Tomcat5" (or "Tomcat6").  I want to install Tomcat 5.5.17 on
a system that already has Tomcat 5.5.15 installed.  I want different services
for each of them, so that I can have minimal downtime when upgrading.

There is nothing that prevents you from doing such thing.
Simply edit tomcat.nsi and rename tomcat5.exe to yourservice.exe

But that requires anyone who wants more than one version of tomcat installed to
check out Tomcat from source, modify it, and rebuild it for each instance.  I
would much prefer to add an advanced option in the installer to allow a
different service name.

I have already taken a look at tomcat.nsi and would be willing to work on a
patch, if it were to be accepted.
