It's worth noting that, when creating the service from the
command-line, the service.bat script will use the current environment
to configure the service. That means that CATALINA_HOME and
CATALINA_BASE are all used to configure the service.
Unfortunately, CATALINA_OPTS is not used. I'll have a look to see how
tough it would be to add CATALINA_OPTS-handling to service.bat... it
seems like it would be nice to do that, and fairly easy.
I wouldn't sweat that part. I still think that the best way to deal with
the situation is to put a prominent warning in the preamble comments of
the relevant configuration files, explaining that the configuration
files are ignored when Tomcat is run as a Windows Service, including
links to relevant online documentation for the configuration utility.
I would say that it's valid to assume that somebody *installing* Tomcat
on a Windows box, to be run as a service, might reasonably be expected
to know about how it works, and how to configure it, whereas somebody
like me, accustomed to other platforms, and who has never had a reason
to study the Windows service part of the Tomcat docs, would have no
reason to know about it.
