The only way to restart a Windows service is through native code. You 
could use JNDI, or Runtime.exec() to run a "net stop & net start" 
script, or a perl script, or a vbs one... there are many options here :-)

Apart from protecting the page, I would also implement a first step with 
a countdown, so you can abort the restart operation if you want :-P

I have heard of this done by using a second webserver with perl installed and 
then using Perl Win32 calls from webserver A to webserver B to restart the 
server.

You could always run the other webserver on a high protected port so you 
don't need a second box.
