Tomcat Startup : Tomcat as a Service
I installed Tomcat 6.1 on my machine.
During the installation, I was not asked to choose whether or not I want it installed as a "Service" or whatever.
I want to configure Tomcat to start automatically whenever Windows starts. To do this, naturally, Tomcat needs to be installed as a Service.
Is there any way to "convert" an already-existing Tomcat application into a "Service"?
Or, do I need to erase it, and install it again?
And, even if I did that, exactly how could I ensure that it is installed as a Service?
Thanks

Why not use the latest version from http://tomcat.apache.org/?
And the filename of the installer?
