I'm also curious as to what specifically would not work for you. A lot of
people have downloaded JavaService and I don't recall anyone who I was
not able help at least get the service working. If there is some problem,
I would like to get it fixed so that I don't encounter it someday myself.

This is one of the reasons I wrote with JNI in the first place. I wanted
the process to show up as tomcat.exe not as java.exe in the task manager.
When you've got four or five Java based services running and they all are
simply listed as java.exe it's a pain to figure out what going on
sometimes. Also, I didn't really want to have to start a whole seperate
JVM to stop a service using a socket, I would rather have a seperate call
made into the existing JVM to limit memory and cpu use.
If you decide to include JavaSerive as part of Tomcat I'd be willing to
help with any changes that are necessary to use it.
