I think the main issue (which has also been touched in several other
threads recently) is some level of confusion with the Tomcat Windows
Installer, and what one finds oneself with in the Tomcat_install_dir/bin
directory in that case.
Instead of having the "normal" series of startup.sh/bat,
catalina.sh/bat, etc.. files in Tomcat/bin, you only find a
tomcat(x).exe and a tomcat(x)W.exe there, basically.
No trace of an explicit command "$JAVA -jar bootstrap.jar ..." kind of
command, no script with a path to the Java being used etc..
It works very well in terms of running Tomcat as a Windows Service, but
it seems that as soon as people try to add some external things, they
get very confused as to where things are.
One has to dig quite a bit to figure out that this tomcat(x).exe is in
fact an instance of "procrun" (or rather "prunsrv" ?), belonging to the
Apache Commons Daemon module, which does some (relatively unexplained)
wizardry to wrap up a Java from somewhere (also rather unexplained) with
the Tomcat executable and make it act as a Windows Service.
(See http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html)
If one of the experts on the subject were to provide some clearer
explanation of this whole thing, it would be nice.
P.S.
Not to make too fine a point about it, but the above looks to me eerily
similar to the case where users install a "non official" pre-packaged
version of Tomcat under Linux. ;-)
