[jira] Created: (DAEMON-110) tomcat service can't be launched on some systems with jre 1.6

tomcat service can't be launched on some systems with jre 1.6
-------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DAEMON-110
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-110
             Project: Commons Daemon
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: Windows environments where no instance of msvcr71.dll  is on the system path.
            Reporter: Dan Armbrust


On some windows systems, the tomcat service launcher will not start - instead, reporting the following errors:

[2008-04-07 10:48:33] [info] Procrun (2.0.3.0) started
[2008-04-07 10:48:33] [info] Running Service...
[2008-04-07 10:48:33] [info] Starting service...
[2008-04-07 10:48:33] [174  javajni.c] [error] The specified module could not
be found.
[2008-04-07 10:48:33] [986  prunsrv.c] [error] Failed creating java C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.6.0_05\bin\client\jvm.dll
[2008-04-07 10:48:33] [1260 prunsrv.c] [error] ServiceStart returned 1
[2008-04-07 10:48:33] [info] Run service finished.
[2008-04-07 10:48:33] [info] Procrun finished.

This is due to a Sun bug which Sun refuses to fix:

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6509291

So, the problem has to be worked around somewhere else.  The tomcat developers feel that the issue should be fixed here, in commons-daemon.

There is a nice summary of what needs to be done here:

And plenty more information in that thread on tomcat.

Mladen Turk commented on DAEMON-110:
------------------------------------

You can always add %JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin to the system PATH variable.
The solution that would allow procrun to set that dynamically will work only with Windows XP SP1+
by using SetDllDirectory, and that is the only way to do it without respawning the process.
Since this function is not present on earlier windows versions, the solution to the problem
will never cover the full set of supported OS's (WIN2k+)
