Bug 6702 in Bugzilla helped me fix my problem...had to add -Xrs to the wrapper.jvm.options property in wrapper.properties. Now the service starts okay and stays running.
But now I'm getting NullPointerExceptions in my .jsp pages that I wasn't getting when starting the service with startup.bat. Any thoughts on this? Off to do more searching... -----Original Message----- From: Martin Gainty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 1:41 PM To: McDaniel, Brad Cc: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: The Jakarta NT Service - The service stops immediately Good Afternoon Mr McDaniel- Here is my startup script for Windows version of Tomcat "C:\Tomcat\Tomcat 5.5\bin\tomcat5.exe" //RS//Tomcat5 Martin -- P.S.

I have followed all the documentation (to the best of knowledge) to get Jakarta set up. It is working fine when I run startup.bat. This is running on Windows Server 2003 However, I want to run Jakarta as a service instead of having to run startup.bat, and I followed the "The Jakarta NT Service" instructions in the documentation. The service is created fine, but when I use Component Services to start it, it enters a started state, and immediately enters a stopped state. When I use jk_nt_service.exe to start it, all it says is "The service failed to start." I also used JavaService to create the service and start it, but same thing happens. The jakarata directory is in C:\Callidus\TrueComp\Viewer\jakarta-tomcat-3.3.1. I tried moving it all to C:\tomcat (and changed the environment variables and registry settings), but to no avail. Any advice on getting the service stating and keeping it running?
