Daniel, Thanks for the suggestion. That did the trick. The Tomcat application is now running as a windows service and everything is working. Odd situation though since I always thought that environment variables were recognized immediately (except for previously opened command windows). Lesson learned :).

It sounds like it can't find the java home.. You did boot after the install right? If you added that environment variable to the system section, you'll need to boot to pick it up or open a new cmd prompt to re-read the environment.
