Bug ID: 62391
Summary: Unable to Install Windows Service with Server JRE
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: 8.5.x-trunk
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Packaging
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ----
When attempting to install Tomcat as a Windows service, bin/service.bat checks
for the existence of java.exe and javaw.exe in the JRE's bin directory and
fails if either does not exist.
java.exe exists on all of the Java distributions for Windows, but javaw.exe
exists only on distributions that utilize GUI.
The Server JRE, which is the recommended distribution for server deployments
does not include javaw.exe, and therefore the service installation from
service.bat fails.
I checked with both Java 1.8u171 and Java 10.0.1:
$ ls -al server-jre\jdk1.8.0_171\bin\ | grep java
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Admin None 16808 Mar 28 17:15 java-rmi.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Admin None 207784 Mar 28 17:15 java.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Admin None 16808 Mar 28 17:15 javac.exe
$ ls -al server-jre\jdk-10.0.1\bin\ | grep java
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Admin None 150448 Mar 26 19:02 java.dll
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Admin None 232368 Mar 26 19:02 java.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Admin None 17840 Mar 26 19:02 javac.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Admin None 166320 Mar 26 19:02 javajpeg.dll
The fix is very easy. The line
if not exist "%JRE_HOME%\bin\javaw.exe" goto noJavaHome
at https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/trunk/bin/service.bat#L55 should be
removed.
