The following links gives instructions on:

How to set up Tomcat 7 as a Windows Service

Please note:
It has come to our attention that some of the parameters DON'T need a D at the start. These are the ones which in the past we have suggested as -DXX, they need to be -XX
And you will need to restart the service.
The important one is -XX:MaxPermSize. The incorrect setting is ignored and the default of 64m is applied which may well be insufficient for your application.

The Tomcat 7 document has been amended to this effect.
