The short answer is "Yes, Tomcat 4.0.x can run as a service." The longer answers include reading HOW-TOs, like Jake's suggestion below, consulting the manual on tomcat.exe and some creative understanding of UNIX and Win2k environments.
As the tomcat.exe is not very well documented in the Jakarta distribution (after all UNIX is the primary deployment platform), all the glorious details can be found at Alexandria Software (http://www.alexandriasc.com/software/JavaService/documentation.html) the developer of the tomcat.exe (renamed as "tomcat.exe" from the bland, somewhat engimatic, "JavaService.exe"). Do not shy away from the "3.x" references in the Alexandria Software manual. The instructions have resulted in dual Tomcat 4.0.x installations running on my development and production servers. I provide load balancing, etc. as well. (A great HOW-TO is available on load balancing Tomcat services in a UNIX environment at www.ubeans.com/tomcat by Pascal Forget; I applied these instructions to my Win2k deployments.)
