Cannot pass parameters to tomcat5.exe //IS//MyService and a few other questions

[tenley ludewig <tr...@yahoo.com>]

Hi.

I have three questions and am pretty desperate and lost as to how to resolve them.  Here goes.

1.  I am using Tomcat 5.5 and JDK 1.5 and trying to install a Windows service with the following command.

"%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\tomcat5.exe" //IS//MyService --StartClass org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap \
--StopClass org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap --StartParams start --StopParams stop --JvmOptions \
"-Dcatalina.base=%CATALINA_HOME%;-Dcatalina.home=%CATALINA_HOME%;-Djava.endorsed.dirs=%CATALINA_HOME%\common\endorsed" \
--StartMode jvm --StopMode jvm --Jvm "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\client\jvm.dll" --Classpath "%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\bootstrap.jar;" \
 --LogPath "%CATALINA_HOME%\logs\catalina.out" --LogLevel DEBUG 

Installing the service 'MyService' ...
Using CATALINA_HOME xxx
Using CATALINA_BASE xxx
Using JAVA_HOME <my jdk>
'--StopClass' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
'--StartMode',  is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
'--LogPath'  is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

2.  I have tried starting Tomcat with catalina.sh start, and my server.xml file points to an HTTP connector on port 8888, and the log states that Tomcat does initialize on port 8888.  BUT, when I hit http://localhost:8888, I get Server not Found.  And when I hit http://localhost, I get the "IT WORKS" page.  My catalina.log has the following:

Apr 23, 2007 9:35:25 AM org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener lifecycleEvent
INFO: The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: C:\Program Files\AOL\OPIS30\jre\bin;.;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\Perl\bin\;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\bin;C:\sun\appserver\jdk\bin;C:\bea\weblogic81\server\bin;C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Maven 1.0.2\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\;C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin;C:\Program Files\Infozip;C:\Program Files\JProbe 7.0\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Binn;C:\Program Files\NSS\nss-3.11.4\bin;C:\WINDOWS;

Any ideas?

3.  Do I need to do anything special to start Tomcat with just a JRE (instead of a JDK) as of Tomcat 5.5?  I have seen conflicting messages regarding this.

Thanks so much for your help.

Sincerely,

Tenley

Why aren't you using the supplied .bat script or Tomcat's Windows
installer to create the service?  Rolling your own is rather risky.

That would be a good trick on Windows.

Do not ever, ever put javaee.jar inside your webapp.  Whatever container
you're using will supply the necessary EE classes to run in its
environment.

You have to set the environment variable JRE_HOME rather than JAVA_HOME.
