How to: Tomcat 5.0.16 as Windows Service 2003-12-22 - By Bill Barker

Assuming that you haven't already, you could try setting '--StdOutputFile'
and especially '--StdErrorFile' to help you debug your config.
Alternatively, you could try:
tomcatw //GT//Tomcat5
and see if any messages show up in the log when you right-click on the icon.

When I use the services display to start it, Windows claims that Tomcat
starts and then immediately stops.
