I was trying to get Tom Cat to start on Windows 7. When trying to start the service I would receive an error message stating the service could not start.
After some digging around on the internet the solution to the problem was to set the environment variables.

right click computer and choose properties.
click advanced system settings.
click environment variables.
under system variables click new.
input the variable name as JAVA_HOME and the value as the path to the root of the jdk directory.
Add another new system variable.
input the variable namee as PATH and the value as the path to the bin folder in the jdk directory.

i.e.

JAVA_HOME C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12
PATH C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin
