             Bug #: 52243
           Summary: Documentation of Service-Installer missing one
                    information
           Product: Tomcat 7
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
        ReportedBy: ckuetb...@googlemail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


The documentation of the windows service installier is missing one information.

If one wants to create a service with a sepified PATH, it may not work:

Citadation from the documentation:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/windows-service-howto.html

List of environment variables that will be provided to the service in the form
key=value. They are separated using either # or ; characters.

Original documentation:
http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html
List of environment variables that will be provided to the service in the form
key=value. They are separated using either # or ; characters. If you need to
embed either # or ; character within a value put them inside single quotes.

The last part is important, but missing:
"If you need to embed either # or ; character within a value put them inside
single quotes."

The ';' is the windows path-seperator-char and the path has to be masked by '
if it contains more than one directory.

This is missing in 5.5 and 6.0 as well.
