Re[2]: automatic startup
Henric,
For Windows NT, you should install Tomcat as a service. You can either use
srvany.exe from the NT resource kit, or a freeware product called invoker from
www.idetix.com to invoke the startup.bat file. Invoker has the advantage in that
it can be installed without directly editing the registry by running a bat file.
I prefer invoker because it lets me launch the VM diectly so that when I stop
the service, the VM is terminated as well.
Perhaps we should consider bundling one of these utilities with the Tomcat
distribution along with an installer bat file for installing TomCat as an NT
service. I'm not sure about the licensing issues though.

That depends on a number of things... mostly... what OS?

Maybe it is worth looking into JST from JObjects. While the source code for
JST is not free, the binaries for JST are, and can be redistributed. JST would
provide registry editing capabilities, as well as allowing a java program to run
as a service. The big catch is that the source code could not be distributed for
it.
