JavaService don't start anything

[tbaud72]

Hello,

i want to use javaservice with jboss 3.0.4 anf jetty.
I use this command in a dos script :

JavaService.exe -install jboss30 c:\devlpt\jdk1.3.1_07\jre\bin\classic\jvm.dll -Djava.class.path=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar;%DIRNAME%run.jar;%JBOSS_HOME%\lib\jboss-boot.jar;%JBOSS_HOME%\lib\jboss-common.jar;%JBOSS_HOME%\lib\jboss-jmx.jar;%JBOSS_HOME%\lib\jboss-system.jar -start org.jboss.Main -stop org.jboss.Main -method systemExit -out c:\devlpt\stdout.txt -err c:\devlpt\stderr.txt -current C:\devlpt\jboss-3.0.4\bin

(i added jar files in classpath because i foundes error exception classNot Found in stderr.txt.

I see service jboss in control panel of windows and i can start/stop service with it, but the problem is that
jboss isn't started, no process is executed for jboss(file server.log doesn't grow).

If someone has an idea ...

Pleasure
Thierry

Did any of the suggestions in the FAQ work? http://www.jboss.org/modules/bb/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=

I saw suggestions :

Under server directory, i have default, all and orvault-thi directory. Each have components to deploy and a log directory.

I see process "javaservice" in my tasks but jboss/jetty
don't reply at my url and the log (server.log file) keep
the same size.

i think it try to start something because i had classNotFoundException in stderr.txt file before.I solve
this problem but it doesn't work.

It is very strange.
Is there a debug mode with javaservice ?

[jonlee]

I don't know that it has a debug mode. Someone had suggested another program but you'd have to search the forum - it was something like JavaService. I think they found that there were too many things to add to the classpath for JavaService. I assume that JBoss itself starts fone from the command line?

[tbaud72]

yes, jboss start very well with command line.

in the forum, they discuss about java service wrapper
whitch is a sourceforge project.

I'm going to try it

A+

[jonlee]

Yes. JavaServiceWrapper was the application of which I was thinking. http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/index.html for those who are interested. People have reported more luck with this, particularly for XP.
