Installing Tomcat as a service

[Rajesh Rajamani <ra...@us.solidcore.com>]

Hi there,
I'm trying to install tomcat 5.5.16 as a service on my Windows XP
machine using the service.bat script.  I tried following the
instructions given at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/windows-service-howto.html to
specify the user account (the --User parameter, in conjunction with the
--Password parameter) the service should run as.  Though tomcat installs
as a service, I'm unable to get it to start as the specified user; it
always starts as "SYSTEM" user.  I've attached the service.bat (with my
modifications) to this mail.  Any help/pointers will be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks,
 
Rajesh Rajamani
