Non-obsolete way of running Tomcat as a Windows Service?

[Jon Skeet <Jo...@clearswift.com>]

The documentation for tomcat5.exe and tomcat5w.exe in 5.5 starts with:

NOTICE

This section of the documentation applies to procrun 1.0, and is now
obsolete.

Now, it seems to work perfectly well, but I'm always wary about running
things which are claimed to be obsolete. Is there a preferred way of
running Tomcat as a Wndows service? The Windows installer isn't a good
option for us (as far as I can tell), as we need a customised version of
Tomcat to be installed as part of another installation process.
