Let's see. First of all, this question is only barely relevant to this mailing list. Second, your subject line talks about something completely different from what you describe in your note. A "web service" has nothing to do with running a Windows application as a service. Assuming you really meant the latter, I suggest you read the documentation for your application server to determine how to run it as a Windows service.

RE: [OT] Run Java App as a Win Service [FIXED]
Posted by Robert Taylor <rt...@mulework.com>.
I tripped over this post after searching google for a couple hours:
http://www.zerosleep.com/work/docs/jbossasservice.jsp
It seemed to fix the problem. Too bad its not documented by JNT.

RE: [OT] Run Java App as a Win Service
Posted by Robert Taylor <rt...@mulework.com>.
Andrew, in your experience with JNT did your applications define a
shutdown.method? Was it ever called successfully? I can get JNT to install
my app as an NT service, but when I try and start it, it shuts
down immediately. It appears that it (Windows) never invokes my application
although when I run the application from the command line it runs perfectly.
Any ideas?

RE: [OT] Run Java App as a Win Service

Ive used a simple freeware program called JNT to run java stuff as windows
services. Dont know if it can be used on an app server but worth a try.

oops. Just been looking through the links below - one of them points

I dont think this subject is "barely relevant". Sure its not struts-specific
and would be better placed on something like the tomcat list or a j2ee list
but its one of those things that those of us developing struts apps are

I think Ill need to deal with this requirement soon for the struts app Im
working on so am also interested in the responses to this question.

RE: [OT] Run Java App as a Win Service
Posted by Hue Holleran <hu...@softwareskills.net>.
Hi Mark,
There may be another way but I like SrvAny that has served us well - a
really nice example of getting and using is given here:
http://yakko.bme.virginia.edu/lab/mercury_as_service.htm
Basically you run InstSrv.exe - using SrvAny.exe to create the service -
hack the registry and the service is run through SrvAny.exe, i.e. any
command line you like - java too, I guess (although never tried it with java
BTW). (There may be an easier and java-specific way of achieving this though
but thought this might help).
Hue.
