RE: registering Tomcat as service
Well, you can modify the service.bat or follow the instructions on the page I mentioned previously to change paramters from the command line. And, yes, I think this stuff is probably stored in the registry, although I haven't looked at the entries (haven't needed to). Some of the parameters documented for procrun aren't valid anymore with changes since that page was published which is why I recommended the GUI. Look in service.bat to see use of the latest parameters. Jake At 06:21 PM 5/28/2004 +0200, you wrote: Hi there.

RE: registering Tomcat as service
Hi. On this subject - in the older Tomcat service executable (specifically jk_nt_service.exe for TC 3) the executable was pointed at a wrapper.properties file. This wrapper.properties provided the means to add new -X and -D properties to the executable without having to re-install the service as it was read in at start time. Is there any plan/chance that this could also be possible for the new tomcat5.exe? The main reason is if you wanted to change the -Xmx setting (as a good example) through code - it is a lot simpler to do this in a wrapper.properties and then simply restart the service - as opposed to removing the service and then re-installing it. Thanks in advance.

Take a look in tomcat/bin. There is a service.bat file that can install and uninstall the service. Should do the trick for you.
