Tomcat as NT-Service - How To ?

[Mathias Matzat <ma...@AED-Graphics.de>]

hallo mailing list reader,

I want to run tomcat as NT-Service.
I found this following comment by Deja.com:

I followed the instructions with administrator rigths 
from the mentioned html-file and installed the service.
And it's true, it "works very well" until the moment I get logged out.
After this step the service is still running, but the java.exe, that runs the tomcat java program,
exits. 

What's wrong? Any hint is appreciated.

TIA,

Mathias Matzat

Look in the Tomcat site there is an application that will allow you to start
tomcat as a nt service.

If you cant find it let me know and i'll help you find it.
