No way to set PATH when running as a service on Windows

           Summary: No way to set PATH when running as a service on Windows
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.25
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Native:Packaging
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bim2003@basistech.com


The Sun JRE has a quirk: if you specify the location of a JNI DLL on Windows 
with -Djava.library.path, and that library has dependent libraries, the 
location you specify has to be in PATH. It's not good enough to just have it 
in -Djava.library.path. This strikes me as a defect in the JRE, but that's 
life.

When launching tomcat5 from a command line with catalina.bat, you can solve 
this problem with setenv.bat, by added a PATH setting to that file. No Such 
Luck when using the nice GUI to set up a Win32 service. It would be more 
better if there was a way to specify the PATH for the service mechanism.
