How to start Tomcat as service in NT?

[Arion <ar...@talentinfo.com.hk>]

Hi!

How can I start Tomcat as service in NT. Is there any way to start
Tomcat without login to the NT Server?

Thanks

path = the URL prefix that will be handled by a context
docbase = the directory where the context files are located.

Inside docbase you have WEB-INF - which is mandated by Servlet2.2
API.

Inside WEB-INF you have classes, lib and web.xml  - all 
fully defined in the servlet specification.

I am curious. Does there exist some documentation that
explains the conventions for the name mappings that exist
in the Tomcat web server. An understanding of this seems 
to be assumed, but I have having difficulty seeing the 
logic behind a servlet/jsp URL and its actual location on 
the server directory tree. 

What do terms like path and docbase mean and are what are 
they relative to?

I think I must be missing an architecture diagram here. Or
something that makes the translation from url to filesystem
and vice versa obvious.

Also re the web-inf (WEB-INF) directory. Is that a mandatory
name with some historical significance or will anything do?
Are there other magic names I should be aware of?

This is on my list of things todo - anybody else interested?

BTW doesn't Apache auto-start Tomcat now - if so how do I configure it?
