I need to install Tomcat 7 and deploy some wars in the background. I'm having difficulties starting the Tomcat service. I couldn't find any sample online. I hope someone can help me out as I am currently stuck. This is that I use to create and start the Tomcat 7 service. When I run the service gets installed but it get stuck on "Starting Services". Is there anything wrong in the code below. I used the start command from the Apache site.
