All, Found the problem with installing the 64-bit version of Tomcat as a service on Windows Server 2003 x64.
It required .Net Framework 2 x64 to be installed so referenced modules could be found by the compiled 64 bit version of the executable. Hoorah! Now I can allocate a monstrous VM size! Hope this helps anyone who has had the same problem.
