How do I start Tomcat as a service using the HotSpot VM

2007-07-31 Thread rmiller

I can start Tomcat  with the HotSpot VM using the -server JVM option in
startup.bat. But when I try to start Tomcat as a service with the -server
option in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-Software-Apache Software
Foundation-Procrun 2.0-PortalServer-Parmeters-Java-Options it won't
start. The event log is vague: The Apache Tomcat PortalServer service
terminated with service-specific error 0 (0x0). 

I can add other JVM options to the Options value such as -XX:NewSize,
-XX:MaxNewSize, etc., and it starts without problem. But the -server option
kills it.

Is there a specific key value for the -server option?

Using:
Windows 2003 Server
Tomcat 5.0.28
jdk1.5.0_09

Thanks,
Ron

It is easier to use the tomcat5w.exe utility to change this, but from 
regedit, you change the value of the ...\Java\Jvm entry to point to the 
server version of jvm.dll.

 Windows 2003 Server

Thanks for clarifying this Bill. 

As it turns out service.bat creates the service to use the server version of
jvm.dll by default; the Jvm arguement is pointing to
D:\Java\jdk1.5.0_09\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll. Should have noticed that :)

Do you know of any other JVM tuning arguement odities when starting Tomcat
as a service?
