Welcome to the Tomcat Service Wrapper

This is a simple installation procedure for gettting the "Java Service Wrapper" to work with Tomcat and also be able to do Thread dumps when Tomcat is running as a service

1. Download tomcat-wrapper-install.zip
2. Make sure you have JAVA_HOME set, and that java.exe is in your path.
3. cd <TOMCAT_HOME>
4. jar xvf /path/to/tomcat-wrapper-install.zip
5. For tomcat 4.1.x and 5.0 please comment out the following lines in conf/wrapper.conf
wrapper.java.additional.5=-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
wrapper.java.additional.6=-Djava.util.logging.config.file=..\conf\logging.properties
6. Change the lines in conf/wrapper.conf
wrapper.ntservice.name=Tomcat
wrapper.ntservice.displayname=Tomcat Application Server
wrapper.ntservice.description=Tomcat Application Server
To reflect the service entry that you wish to create
7. TOMCAT_HOME/bin/InstallApp-NT.bat installs your service
   If you want to try out your confiration first, run TomcatService.bat from the command line. This Saves time during configuration changes
8. Open your services and start the Tomcat service.
