Hi, thank you for replay. I tried to set various options in strartup.bat but It didn't work. It worked only if I ran "java -jar bootstrap.jar start" command from commnad line in tomcat\bin\. The thing which I'm interested in is which options (variables) are used when I start Tomcat this way (java -jar boot...). Than I can try to set service (windows registry, good to know, thx) same way as it's set when I'm using bootstrap class to tomcat run. Thanks for answer. Jan
