Hi all,
I have been installing and running a Windows Service using Tomcat 9.0.83 on
OpenJDK 8 just fine. But when I moved to OpenJDK 11, specifically
microsoft-jdk-11.0.21-windows-x64.zip, the Service always fails to start
with the following error logged in commons-daemon.log:
[2024-01-19 15:39:03] [info] [15344] Apache Commons Daemon procrun
(1.3.4.0 64-bit) started.

The service is installed as follows:
C:\app\bin\tomcat9.exe //IS//%SERVICE_NAME% ^
--Description "Some Desc" ^
--DisplayName "Display Name" ^
--Install "C:\app\bin\tomcat9.exe" ^
--LogPath "%CATALINA_BASE%\logs" ^
--StdOutput auto ^
--StdError auto ^
--Classpath "%CLASSPATH%" ^
--Jvm "%JVM%" ^
--StartMode jvm ^
--StopMode jvm ^
--StartPath "%CATALINA_HOME%" ^
--StopPath "%CATALINA_HOME%" ^
--StartClass org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap ^
--StopClass org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap ^
--StartParams start ^
--StopParams stop ^
--Startup auto ^
--JvmMs %INIT_MEMORY_POOL_SIZE% ^
--JvmMx %MAX_MEMORY_POOL_SIZE% ^
--JvmSs %STACK_SIZE% ^
--Environment "ksp=%KSP%" ^
--StartPath "%CATALINA_HOME%" ^
--JvmOptions9 "some long list of -D options"
One thing to note is that, with OpenJDK 8, the JRE was included in the JDK
but from OpenJDK 11 they have removed it and is not part of the JDK.
Therefore, with 8 the --Jvm flag was pointing to
C:\app\java\jre\bin\jvm.dll but now after the upgrade it is
C:\app\java\bin\jvm.dll
Looking for your advice here.
Thanks!
Decarbon
