Chapter 3: Tomcat Installation To start the server, right-click the Tomcat entry and choose Start. No window will appear because the server is running as a service in the background. Once the server is started, the options for restarting and stopping the server will also be enabled. Changing Service Options Looking at Figure 3-6 , you can see that the Startup Type is set to Automatic, which means that restarting the computer also starts an instance of Tomcat automatically. From now on, every time Windows is started, Tomcat will automatically start up at boot time and will be available from then on. You can further customize the service by choosing the Properties option from the context menu. This enables the startup type to be changed to Manual, or for the service to be disabled entirely. It also enables you to choose to automatically restart the service should it crash. This last option is especially useful because not only does it allow you to reboot the computer, but it also enables you to run a script should the server fail. You can also perform different actions depending on how many times the service has failed (by choosing the Recovery tab), so you can initially request a reboot of the service, then a reboot of the machine, after which any subsequent failures will cause a script to run that perhaps alerts you of the failure. If you wish to set the recovery options, right-click the Tomcat service entry in the list and choose Properties. In the window that opens, choose Recovery, and you should be presented with the options shown in Figure 3-7 . Figure 3-7: The Recovery options
