The information is fairly limited on how to get things to work with Tomcat
running as a service.

What I have learnt so far is :
1) CATALINA_OPTS environment variable allows you to pass options to the JVM
2) The Jakarta Commons project hosts the Daemon that does the work of
running Tomcat as a service http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/daemon

I have yet to look into,
1) Automating start/stop with Ant in conjunciton with recompiling webapps
(Alternately reloading the webapps, although Tomcat doesnt seem to survive
webapp exceptions very well)
2) Making the Daemon show up in Apache Monitor (part of httpd)
3) Configuring Tomcat with service parameters (or ini file) instead of
CATALINA_OPTS
