I got it partially working.

First of all, I am working with JBoss 7.0 Final and Java Service Wrapper 3.5.6 community edition. I am working on a Windows 7 machine ( 64 bit) and using a 32-bit JRE (due to constraints by the community version of the wrapper ).  My JBoss 7 server starts up fine when I run it without the wrapper. But with the wrapper, it seems the main method of the Jboss server is never run. I turned on debugging in jsw and the output is below.

I think at this point, I should talk about my folder structures. I am trying to make a "portable" wrapper-lized jboss 7 distribution. I have a folder called jboss7jvm32. This folder contains two folders. The first is the Jboss7 folder and the second is a jre7 folder. I organized it in this way, so I can just copy jboss7jvm32 folder to as many machines as possible and simply install the service. The jboss would always have a jvm available (the jvm bundled in the jboss7jvm32 folder).  My wrapper.conf is below:

encoding=UTF-8

# Configuration files must begin with a line specifying the encoding

#  of the the file.

Does someone have an idea what is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated. So far, I solved all classpath issues. Thanks for your help.  Charles.

I got this working a while back and just wrote a post about it. Thanks Prasad.
