How to update the Tomcat service name with Actual service name
Solution:
- Open the Services.msc from the computer
- Select the Apache-Tomcat-Service, right-click and select properties
- Here you can find the Actual Tomcat Service Name
- The tomcat service configuration is set on below 2 files present in apache-tomcat/bin folder
- The *w.exe file is used for updating the service parameters like heap size etc.
- Name of the *w.exe file has to match the service name, otherwise even if you make changes in the parameters, those do not take effect
Ex: If your tomcat service name is “abc” then you need to create a new file with the name “abcw.exe” and do the configuration changes in this file to take effect
