Windows NT Service
==================
The two batch files for creating and removing TomEE as a Windows Service are basically
self explanatory. Both scripts must be run using an account that has rights to install
or de-install a service. This is usually an administrator account.
service.install.as.admin.bat
service.remove.as.admin.bat
NOTE: Both scripts actually call the service.bat file, if you modify this batch file then ensure that there are no hidden
characters after the '^' continuation symbol (such as tab or space). But always ensure
there is a space before (and not a tab). The service installer will drop further options
and simply warn that '++JvmOptions' is unknown, leading to unexpected results.
++JvmOptions=-Dcatalina.base="%CATALINA_BASE%" ^
++JvmOptions=-Xms128M ^[tab or space] <-- Will break here, no further options will be appended
++JvmOptions=-Xmx512M ^
++JvmOptions=-XX:MaxPermSize=256M <-- Last line has no continuation symbol
Using a Defined JRE or JDK
==========================
The service script searches for and uses an installed Java runtime.
If you want to override this feature to use a specific runtime then edit the 'service.bat' file.
set "JAVA_HOME=[Full path to your JRE or JDK]"
Be aware if you override the runtime that the service installer uses native 32 bit x86, 64 bit ia64 and 64 bit amd64
executables to invoke the selected java runtime. For example, you cannot execute a 32 bit JRE using a 64 bit service.
If this is required then you will have to override the %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE% variable.
Using the Monitor
=================
The file named 'TomEE.exe' can be used to modify service parameters post installation by running as an Administrator.
To use the monitor feature:
1. Create a shortcut to 'TomEE.exe' in your 'Startup' directory
2. Right click the shortcut and select 'Properties'
3. Edit the 'Target' field and append //MS to the end of the line (Do not forget the preceding space ...\bin\TomEE.exe //MS)
