performance problem with JBoss running as Windows Services

[sojka]

Hi,
I use JavaService to run JBoss as Windows Services. As service JBoss works 3 times slower as normal. Is someone has some experience with this topic? What could be reason such behaviour? Should I use another tool to start JBoss as service? Is generally service always slower as normal application?

For any help/sugggestions thx in advance

regards
Dawid

Increase the memory using -Xmx256M with JBossService.exe and see if it is still slow.

I experience the same.
On our own Windows Server 2003 : same performances on a simple DOS "startJBoss" and on service under JavaService.exe
On the Windows Server 2003 of one of our client : Javaservice gives performances 3 times slower than DOS simple run (on the same computer).
I checked with JVMI instead of javaService. The performance is the same as DOS command. It seems Javaservice has a problem.
I use last version of JavaService.

This is the answer, but you must add the -Xmx when you initially install the JavaService, it adds additional JVM options which you can view and/or change in windows registry.

My Application went from dog slow back to normal speed after adding the parameter.

Does the solution provided worked for you ?

I face the same problem Jboss 3.2.3, Last version of javaservice.exe, Windows XP, Windows 2003...
JBOSS twice slower than started manually in a DOS concsole.

Use the Java Service Wrapper :

No more performance issue ... :-)
