Ant task to install tomcat service
First of all let’s do some properties setup:
Service startup task consists of 5 exec commands:
catalina.home=d:/java/tomcat-6.0.18
tomcat.executable=${catalina.home}/bin/tomcat6.exe
tomcat.service.executable=\
${catalina.home}/bin/service.bat
tomcat.service.name=myproject
# parameters that will be used in the jvm
tomcat.service.jvm.ms=128
tomcat.service.jvm.mx=256
- Stop service if currently running
- Delete service if installed
- Install service with bat script
- Update service with some parameters
- Start service
