Giovanni,
I too had some difficulty getting things running smoothly as an NT Service
on Win2K. I experienced the same error. Here's how I fixed mine:
1. Go to the c:\{My Tomcat Directory}\bin directory.
2. Rewrite your net service command like this: jk_nt_service -i service_name
conf\wrapper.properties
By excluding the conf\ directory from the command, the service is looking at
the wrong directory for the wrapper.properties file.
3. Once you rerun this, you have to reboot. Go to the NT Services
application through your Settings>Control Panel>Services and make sure that
your service_name is listed in the services directory. You may have to reset
the start up to Automatic. Mine defaults to Manual.
4. Start the service from the Services panel.
5. Test your service by going to your browser and running a sample.jsp...
This should do it.
