Which code? Java? C? There is no such code that "starts tomcat as a service". It all belongs to commons-daemon. You may want to look at "bin/service.bat" (see source distributive or "Windows" variants of zip binary distributive). That is the script that installs the service. Note that tomcatN.exe, tomcatNw.exe are renamed copies of prunsrv.exe, prunmgr.exe. You may want to rename your ones in the same way.
