RE: Running Tomcat as a Windows service
As Pier said, it is with the TC4 distribution, and I think this may be the most up-to-date, new, official version, as there was some talk about bringing it under the Jakarta umbrella. Here is the original URL in case there is some documentation that has not yet made it into the distribution: http://www.alexandriasc.com/software/JavaService/index.html Jim --- Richard Heintze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jim, Ronald and Bryan, > > Could you folks kindly give me URL for this > JavaService?

RE: Running Tomcat as a Windows service
Jim, Ronald and Bryan, Could you folks kindly give me URL for this JavaService? I assume I'll have the same problem -- I'm using a service in the FAQ that runs any old bat file. I looked at the services that exclusively run java programs and then looked at the complexity of tomcat.bat and startup.bat and decided to go with the generic solutions that runs bat files. But this won't work if I log off the server? --- Jim Seach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am also using the JavaService. It was easy to > configure and has been > very stable.

RE: Running Tomcat as a Windows service
I am also using the JavaService. It was easy to configure and has been very stable. No problems at all. Also, the way it solves the logout problem is by intercepting the Windows logoff message so you don't have to use the 1.3.1 jvm's -Xrs parameter. If you use the -Xrs parameter, you loose the ability to automatically run a shutdown hook. I haven't tested it, but I belive JavaService will still pass the Shutdown message to the jvm, so the shutdown hooks should run. Jim --- "Ronald G.

RE: Running Tomcat as a Windows service
Hello, Please ignore my last post. I found the following resource, which helped me to resolve the problem (I needed to include -Xrs on the Java command line): http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=131217 Thanks. -Original Message- From: Bryan Hendricks Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2001 10:20 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Running Tomcat as a Windows service Hello, I installed Tomcat as a Windows (NT) service using jk_nt_service and set the service's startup type as automatic, but when I log off, the service shuts down. Is this a bug (in Tomcat, jk_nt_service, or the JRE) and, if so, do you know if the problem is being addressed? If it's not a bug, are there instructions that outline additional steps required to keep the service running? Thank you.
RE: Running Tomcat as a Windows service
If I remember correctly, this is due to a bug in the JDK and you can read all about it in the jakarta tomcat-user archives as well as in the bug reports on the Sun site (www.javasoft.com). I used the Alexandria Software companies Java service wrapper JavaService.exe . It is free, distributable and it works well. I am sure there are other service wrappers out there too. -Original Message- From: Bryan Hendricks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2001 10:20 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Running Tomcat as a Windows service Hello, I installed Tomcat as a Windows (NT) service using jk_nt_service and set the service's startup type as automatic, but when I log off, the service shuts down.

RE: Running Tomcat as a Windows service
This is a (very widely discussed) bug in Sun's 1.3 JVM for NT. There is a fix in 1.3.1 and the 1.2.x JVMs did not possess this bug. You can search the mailing list archives, or Sun's BugParade, for more information.
