Does the server jvm.dll you're copying come from the exact same build and platform (32- vs 64-bit) as the JRE? You would think that would be sufficient, but if you do a detailed comparison of the files in a public JRE against those in a JDK's private JRE you'll see lots of differences, including the contents of various *.jar files. (For example, rt.jar from the JDK is 4 MB larger than the one in the JRE.) I don't know why the two sets of jars should be different, but they are, and it may be pertinent. Can you launch the server mode with "java -server -version"? (Note that the -server option here applies only to the launcher, it's not done that way when running as a service.) What happens when you set JAVA_OPTS=-server and start Tomcat with startup.bat? > We simply point tomcat to the server jvm.dll. Verify it's done properly by changing it in the GUI and see the effect it has on the registry settings for Tomcat. > My JAVA_HOME is C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_12 You should set JAVA_HOME only for a JDK. The non-service scripts expect JRE_HOME for a JRE-only setup, but the service.bat script ignores that (possibly because a Windows JRE doesn't include the server mode or more likely because someone forgot to update this script when the JRE_HOME check was added to the other scripts). - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
