I just wanted to post a word of warning on depending on this last "feature". While Windows will start the HSQLDB server before the Tomcat server, it doesn't necessarily imply that the DB will be ready for service. As soon as the HSQLDB service reports "started", Windows will start the next service that's dependant on it. You will want to verify the behavior of your database before relying on this feature. Spoken as one bitten by trying to do this with Oracle some years back. The Oracle DB will report started looong before the recovery process is complete and the DB is open for connections.
