Installing JBoss as a service on Win2000

[msimanga]

Hi,

I tried to install JBoss-3.0.2 as a service on Windows 2000 and j2sdk1.4.0 and got the error pasted below.

Secondly does anyone know of alternative programs to javaservice for installing java programs as services.

The error:

'-Djava.class.path' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'-method' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

What does your .bat file look like

HI

The .bat file:

@echo off
if "%1" == "uninstall" goto uninstall
if "%1" == "-uninstall" goto uninstall
if "%1" == "" goto usage
if "%2" == "" goto usage
if "%3" == "" goto usage
if "%1" == "-help" goto usage
if "%1" == "-?" goto usage
if "%1" == "/?" goto usage
:install
JavaService.exe -install JBoss30 %1\jre\bin\%3\jvm.dll
-Djava.class.path=%1\lib\tools.jar;%2\bin\run.jar -start org.jboss.Main -stop org.jboss.Main
-method systemExit -out %2\bin\out.txt -current %2\bin
goto eof
:uninstall
JavaService.exe -uninstall JBoss30
goto eof
:usage
echo -------- To Install JBoss 3.0 do
echo Usage: %0 jdk_home jboss_home (classic/hotspot/server)
echo NOTE: You MAY NOT use spaces in the path names. If you know how
echo to fix this, please tell me.
echo JDK 1.3 does not come with hotpot server by default, you must
echo install this seperately if you wish to use it.
echo Example: %0 c:\progra~1\jdk c:\progra~1\jboss30 hotspot

goto eof

Hi

I managed to get JBoss running as a service. I am writing this just in case someone in the future encounters the same problem

It appears the JavaService.exe file didn't like my cut and pasted .bat file. I deleted the spaces between the different lines and then reapplied them using my text editor and this time it seemed to like the .bat file and I am now in business.
