Run JBoss as a Windows Service

[fabinhu]

Hey guys!

I had download the wrapper application to put JBoss as a windows service. So, i follow this link:

http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=RunJBossAsAServiceOnWindows

...And i run the script to test wrapper with JBoss ... that's OK!

But, when i install de service, i can't start de service on the Service Manager, and i got the wrapper.log:

STATUS | wrapper | 2004/06/04 15:28:42 | Launching a JVM...

From what I've read, using the Alexandria Software Consultants Open Source tool "JavaService" is the way to go. However, their web site appears to be down (http://www.alexandriasc.com/software/JavaService/index.html).

Does anyone know of another location to download the application "JavaService"? Any idea why their site is down (i.e. out of business or new location)?

Thanks,

I have tried the Wrapper for Java and couldn't get it to work, then tried the JavaService by Alexandria and it worked great every time I depolyed a new server... however...

It appers that the Aliandria web site, that distributes the JBossService, is down along with others linking to it.... I found an alternate link that gave a brief reason to the server being down -

It is with regret that Multiplan has had to disable downloads of the JavaService files from this web site. This is due to excessive hits on this web site from a particular source, resulting in network bandwidth limits being reached on our server

Im sure someone else has it for download but I unfortunately cannot find any for you at this time... sry

Could someone please let us know if a new download link is available yet?

Thanks,

We use the Java Wrapper tool for JBoss and some other things without any problems. It works fine.

Looking at your log file I think you will find your JAVA_HOME and JBOSS_HOME environment variables have been defined in Control Panel as 'user' rather than system. The 'user' variables only exist when a user that created them is logged on. The default service will be running on the LocalSystem user. So move your variables to System rather than User.

Below is the wrapper.conf we are using. Please note I've editted this a bit
before posting to remove some company specific stuff.

Hope this helps.

When you get wrapper working this is also an MBean you can use which is useful.
