The tomcat.exe process is an executable file known by the name JavaService, which is a part of the same name of the software developed by Alexandria Software Consulting. JavaService is a type of adaptor software that is used to permit the installation of a cross-platform Java server program, and function as a service in a Windows operating system during the startup. This program is also used to manage the interface between Windows OS service handler and Java run-time platform, that is with the use of code developed in C++, which invoke the Java JNI mechanism from any suitable application or server with the probability to install on the program as a Windows service. JavaService is compatible with many Microsoft Windows OS versions, including Windows NT4, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Windows XP. To enable the software JavaService, the tomcat.exe file must be running on the computer, particularly in the background of the system.

Most non-system processes that are running can be stopped because they are not involved in running your operating system. tomcat.exe. is used by JavaService, If you shut down tomcat.exe, it will likely start again at a later time either after you restart your computer or after an application start. To stop tomcat.exe, permanently you need to uninstall the application that runs this process which in this case is JavaService, from your system.

After uninstalling applications it is a good idea to scan you Windows registry for any left over traces of applications. Registry Reviver by ReviverSoft is a great tool for doing this.

A process usually a part of an installed application such as JavaService, or your operating system that is responsible for running in functions of that application. Some application require that they have processes running all the time so they can do things such as check for updates or notify you when you get an instant message. Some poorly written applications have many processes that run that may not be required and take up valuable processing power within your computer.
