Hi all, After many hours spent armwrestling with jk_nt_service and Tomcat 4, I concluded that they just don't like each other. Someone had posted a link to a wrapper.properties file that supposedly worked with Tomcat 4, but as far as I could tell, they were still using the Tomcat 3 startup class. Whenever I pointed jk_nt_service to the startup class used by Catalina, it failed.
For those of you that need it, I modified the catalina.bat file to provide a simple interface to tomcat.exe, which installs Tomcat as a service. You can use this file just the way you use startup.bat or catalina.bat- just set the environment variables and execute the script, i.e. set CATALINA_HOME, CATALINA_BASE, CATALINA_OPTS, JAVA_HOME and JSSE_HOME. For simple installations, all you need are CATALINA_HOME and JAVA_HOME. If you run it alone, it will give usage information. The URL is http://www.vgalleries.com/misc/catalina_as_nt_service.shtml I hope this helps! Best regards, Richard
