Running LifeRay as a windows service.

This is an ongoing investigation.
SO far the best steps seem to be:

1. Copy from a tomcat 7 set up the Tomcat7w.exe and all the associated <tomcat>\bin\*.bat files into your Liferay distribution, as they don't seem to come as standard.
2. Edit the service.bat so that it contains the following lines:
   rem Set default Service name
   set SERVICE_NAME=LiferayTomcat7
   set PR_DISPLAYNAME=Liferay 6.1
   
   (lines 77-79).
3. Install the service as normal (here...).
4. Add the setting in the registry...
   In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
   Add a setting called "LifeRayMonitoring" like this:
   "C:\development\Java\tomcat\liferay-portal-6.1.0\tomcat-7.0.23\bin\Tomcat7w.exe" //MS//LiferayTomcat7
   This will start the monitoring service for you.
5. Now the part I am less sure about. The memory settings.
   This is done by editing the Java Options on the Java Tab.
   It should read:
   -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\development\Java\tomcat\liferay-portal-6.1.0\tomcat-7.0.23\temp
   -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager
   -Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\development\Java\tomcat\liferay-portal-6.1.0\tomcat-7.0.23\conf\logging.properties
   -Xms512M
   -Xmx1024M
   -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
   -Dfile.encoding=UTF8
   -Duser.timezone=GMT
   

   -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000

   
   The first part is created when you set up the service when startup.bat was run.
   the memory settings are those recommended in the admin manual.
   The three starting with -agentlib are to allow remote debugging against port 8000.
6. No start remote debugging your portlets (See...)
   

This is a work in progress but I think it is accurate.
