Hello, Your (kind) answers seem to focus on UNIX starter, but again what' the risk of starting TomEE+ on Windows using tomcat7.exe / tomcat7w.exe for service registration ?
To clarify my need: I try to make people believe in TomEE+ can be an easy replacement for Tomcat (and after, lobby for EE feature to be used). For this, I'm trying to replace Tomcat by TomEE in an app without even modifying this installer's app (but I can create a media for this app with TomEE expanded in same dir as Tomcat used to be). Devil is in details, I don't know if TomEE's registration as a Windows service can work strictly like Tomcat's, any clue appreciated !
