Re: Making Tomcat 3.2 A Service On Win 2000 ( using jdk 1.3.0_02 )

2001-07-06 Thread Gary Dale 

Are you sure there are no problems with jdk1.3.1?  The main problem I 
found with 1.3.0 was that it shut down when you logged off. I found the 
same problem in 1.3.1. The fix is to add -Xsa to the execution line 
that starts Java in Tomcat.

As for making Tomcat a service, I found the jk_nt_service.exe (zipped 
up) in the jakarta downloads. I thought that was the standard way of 
making it into a service. Is this what is causing the shutdown problem? 
ShouldI be using a different method?

versions of 1.2.0 had the same problem.  Also, rumor has it that beta 1.4
works fine as a service (but has other issues).

Hi;
 
I found some instructions at jakarta.apache.org for making tomcat a service:
 
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/NT-Service-howto.html
 
It didn't answer some questions I would like to know before I begin.
 
1. The instructions mention setting TOMCAT_HOME in wrapper.properties.
Lets say this is c:\tomcat.do I put it inq uotes?  Do I use the \
as a path seperator or a /?
 
2. The instructions mention that there is a bug in jdk1.3 that if you follow
thei nstructions to make
tomcat a service and you stop the service no clean up will happen.  Is
there anything bad about
that?  What will not happen?   Does this bug also exist in jdk1.3.0_02
?
 
Thanks in advance

Works for me without any command line fixes.  I thought that the -X option
was added for some of the betas of 1.3.1.  Is it possible that you have an
older version of 1.3.1?

You are correct.  The JavaService program does basically the same thing as
jk_nt_service, but it traps the OS signals and doesn't relay them on to the
JVM.

Steve,

I 
recently set Tomcat up as a service on an NT box using JavaService 
:

http://www.alexandriasc.com/software/JavaService/documentation.html

It's 
pretty straight forward to set up and has been working for a week now with no 
probs whatsoever. JavaService was originallyinspired by Windows service 
issues withTomcat so is an ideal solution.

Later, 
Tim.

Thanks.

I just 
got it.

I set 
a "JDK_HOME" environ variable ( no spaces in the path ),
I 
moved the exe to the TOMCAT_HOME\bin
I 
moved their tomcat32Install.bat file to TOMCAT_HOME\bin
I ran 
the install file
I went 
to services ( windows 2000 ) and there is no "tomcat" there.

Any 
ideas what I didn't do?

Thanks 
in advance
