Running JBoss AS (part of EAP 4.3) as windows service

riffla Apr 27, 2010 3:07 PM

Want to hear if anyone has succeeded in transforming JBoss AS (4.3) as a windows service. Read that - and to some extent, tried - JBoss Native and also the JBoss Service Wrapper (not sure about this name though), but which of theese two alternatives is to prefer for a non experienced JBoss user - been working a lot with Tomcat and Apache.
Tried the JB Native but don't get it really. I really need to be able to start JBoss that will keep running despite logout and such.

Any experiences or hints?

Cheers

By the way, I'm running both Windows 2003 server and XP Pro (two different development environments)

I use JBoss Native to run EAP 4.3 with JBoss Portal in a Windows 2003 server.

Hi Peter

Thanks for quick answer. I did actually download JBoss Native (Deltapack version, does that one work ?) and will give it a shot now.
Guess the doc provided in the pack is adequate guidance for the job...

Deltapack? I don't see anything labelled that on the Native download page:
http://www.jboss.org/jbossweb/downloads/jboss-native-2-0-9.html

I was also trying to rmember exactly how I set mine it (it was about 2 years ago...). I know that I did not make us of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) that comes with JBoss Native - I used only the files necessary for running as a service: jbosssvc.exe and service.bat. There should also be a README-service.txt that tell how to set it up. (Another option would be to grab those 3 files from JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA and place them in you EAP bin directory.)
