Starting Tomcat as service with VMWare

["Weseloh, Nicole" <Ni...@lit.lineas.de>]

Hi everybody,

in order to simulate a Tomcat-cluster, I've got VMWare running at my system (both host and virtual system are WinXP Pro), also running Tomcat 5.0.19 at the host system. I tried to install Tomcat at the virtual system, too, but failed: I can only start it via "startup.bat" - it opens a dosbox (command box) which shows the startup log and also all standard output messages, and my webapp works fine - exactly what it is supposed to do. 
But when I try to run Tomcat as a service, it cancels startup with errormessage "Service not found". Is there something I forgot to configure, or is it just impossible to run Tomcat as a service with VMWare? 
If someone's got a hint, please let me know.. 

Thanks, Nicole

PS: If someone could tell me how to run Tomcat not as a service and write output messages to standard output file instead of the command box, that would be of great help, too..
