NT Service exits startup before Tomcat is finished starting up.

           Summary: NT Service exits startup before Tomcat is finished
                    starting up.
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.1 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: B_Adept@email.com


The NT Service "tomcat.exe" packaged with Tomcat 4.0.1 final finishes 
excecution before Tomcat has finished starting up.

Win2k allows administrators to define dependencies on system services. This 
allows admins to tell a service that it must "wait" for another service to 
start before starting itself - in addition when starting a service which is 
dependent on another, the service that is depended on will be started first. 

This allows the admin for instance to tell Apache Service to "wait" until the 
Tomcat Service has finished starting. This in effect ensures that when Apache 
starts, Tomcat is already up and running. This is important when not using 
Tomcat as a standalone server, becuase Apache tries to connect to Tomcat (via 
warp or ajp) when it starts up. Since the Tomcat Service exits before Tomcat 
has started, Apache starts up before Tomcat is fully loaded and cannot create 
connections to Tomcat.

This issue exists for Win2k pro and server (SP1 and SP2).
