Portal 2.4 as a windows service

[schuffr]

Hi Folks,

I'm a little unclear on what all I need to do to run JBoss portal 2.4 as a windows service. I have searched the archives and seen that I will probably have to use JavaService but I have not found anything that indicates how to have the portal run as a service.

I have installed the 2.04 bundled portal distribution.

thanks

I installed it today with:

You did with JBoss portal? any chance I can see your wrapper.conf file? I keep getting a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/tanukisoftware/wrapper/WrapperSimpleApp

error.

thanks

I used 2.4 CR1, but that should not be the reason as the error is a classpath error.

My configuration needs an env var named JBOSS_PORTAL_JAVA_HOME, which defines the JAVA_HOME for the JBOSS portal (service) to be used.
Doing this preserves the flexibility to have a different location on another box, while the wrapper.conf remains the same.

I created the following directory/file structure before copying its content into $JBOSS_HOME (the parent directory):

Thanks! duh! I had a typo in my

wrapper.java.classpath.1=../lib/wrapper.jar

line.

Works now!

thanks
