running tomcat5 -- as a service under 64-bit windows?

["will@serensoft.com" <wi...@serensoft.com>]

Hi folks --

Short version: how to get Tomcat5 to run as a service under 64-bit Windows 2003?

Long version:

Okay, we've got Tomcat5 running from the command-line within 64-bit
Windows 2003 Enterprise (and cannot use tomcat 6/java 6 for our
project) -- and now we're working to get it running as a service...

We've replaced the original tomcat5.exe and tomcat5w.exe with the ones at
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/connectors/trunk/procrun/bin/amd64/
as directed from
http://www.nabble.com/running-tomcat-5.5-as-a-service-on-64bit-windows-td6821449.html

And then command line 'service install' appears to work (it shows up
in admin tools > services) but the service won't start: it tries for a
while (netstat -nab shows it's running for a spell), but it quietly
gives up. tomcat/logs/stderr* does contain some text, but there's no
catalina.out, and start > admin tools > component services > events
doesn't give up any evidence either.

Plus, the mofidied/64-bit-savvy tomcat5w.exe which is supposed to set
parameters for the service, complains that 'tomcat5' doesn't exist.

Ideas?

Or you can rename the tomcat5.exe and tomcat5w.exe files to yadaboing.exe and yadaboingw.exe, respectively.

Just learned this today:

if you install the tomcat service as "service.bat install yadaboing"
then you can configure it via "tomcat5w //ES//yadaboing"

Easy!

When you install the service you have to name it tomcat5. It is a
'feature' of that service wrapper that for a service XXX the binarie
smust be named XXX.exe and XXXw.exe
