[jira] Created: (GERONIMO-4394) Run Geronimo as a Windows service
out of box
Run Geronimo as a Windows service out of box
--------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-4394
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4394
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: New Feature
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: commands
Environment: Windows platforms
Reporter: Jack Cai
Although there is already an option provided by the Java Service Wrapper, some users are more interested in seeing something similar to what is provided by Tomcat. Provided that we can easily take the technology from Tomcat (http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html), I'm keen to implement this same thing for Geronimo. The advantage of using Apache Commons procrun is that -
1. Out-of-box experience, no need to download and install a third party component;
2. Tray icon that further improves usability.
Eventually we would think to provide this "run as a service" capability for Linux/Unix platforms, but Windows would be a good start.

BTW, I have updated the attached exe files. I have downloaded them to verify they do work.
Jarek, can you re-download all the files here and have another try? I hope this feature can be ready in G 2.2 timeframe. Thanks a lot!

---------------------------------------
So all you need to do with the plugin is just install the *.exe and *.bat files into $GERONIMO_HOME/bin directory? If so, put these files into src/main/resources/bin directory and just add <copy-file dest-dir="bin">bin</copy-file> entry in the car-maven-plugin in your pom.xml. See framework/configs/plugin for an example.

Jarek Gawor commented on GERONIMO-4394:
---------------------------------------
I committed the patch to trunk (revision 728200) and branches/2.1 (revision 728203). I modified the patch slightly: 1) I changed the batch script to display JRE_HOME instead of JAVA Runtime to match the other scripts and since really $JRE_HOME will be used anyway, and 2) I dropped the 'osservice' module and just put 'procrun' module directly under plugins. Thanks for the patch!
Also, I think it would be great to have some instructions (like a README file in svn or somewhere) how to exactly recreate the exe file. Can you provide that info if possible?

[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (GERONIMO-4394) Run Geronimo as a

--------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks Jarek for your advice! Now I've come out with a more compact version. I can successfully install the car to a running server to add those new commands into its bin dir. The only myth left is that after installation, the car in the server's repo is not a car archive, but extracted there.
I've created a patch for the 2.1.x branch. It can be easily applied to 2.2 branch if all occurances of "2.1.4-SNAPSHOT" are replaced with "2.2-SNAPSHOT". The patch does not include the 2 binary exe files though. I'm not sure about the convention of how to add them (in the patch or separately?), so I just attach them separately here. They should both be put into the plugins/osservice/geronimo-procrun/src/main/resources/bin/ dir.

------------------------------------
Thanks Jarek! I updated the doc in several places -
1. Add some more information on using Commons Daemon
2. Changed a few lines for Java Service Wrapper
* replace org.apache.geronimo.base.dir with org.apache.geronimo.home.dir
* removed unnecessary classpath in wrap.conf
* replace most 2.1 occurances with 2.2

Jack Cai updated GERONIMO-4394:
-------------------------------
Attachment: GERONIMO-4394_Jack_1219.patch
Updated patch to simplify the batch file usage. I guess I need to add some doc here to explain the usage -
1. Run the following command in the bin dir from command line. This will install the geronimo service with the name "geronimosrv" using default parameters. Users can also specify the username/password/rmiport used to shutdown the service. The usage information can be displayed by simply issue the command without any arguments.
service_pr.bat intall
2. Now there're two ways to start/stop the service: (a)Using Windows' service control panel. There is a new service shown as "Apache Geronimo Service - geronimosrv" there. (b)Launch the geronimosrvw.exe. This brings up the config GUI for the service. Click start/stop to control the service there. If geronimosrvw.exe is launched with parameter "//MS//", then a tray icon will be added.
3. To remove the service, issue -
service_pr.bat remove
4. If user launches geronimosrv.exe, this will start Geronimo in the console (instead of as a service).
In fact, geronimosrv.exe and geronimosrvw.exe are renamed from pronsrv.exe and pronmgr.exe of Apache Commons Daemon. So all the doc of Commons Daemon applis (see here: http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html).
I've tested under Windows XP 32bit and Windows 2008 64bit. Both look OK with no MS Visual Studio installed.

Jack Cai commented on GERONIMO-4394:
------------------------------------
You can use the geronimosrvw.exe tool to edit the startup/shutdown arguments. Alternatively you can also use the geronimosrv.exe command line to do that. See Apache Commons Daemon doc: http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html
You can see the tool call java.exe directly instead of geronimo.bat.
