i use software from the windows NT resource kit which
you can easily download from the web...

in a nutshell,
here's how you create jboss as a service...
please read the docs that come with SRVANY.exe
i'm just giving a brief synopsis. is it EASY. REALLY!

first do this to create the service
INSTSRV.EXE JBoss c:\util\SRVANY.EXE


then you go to the registry under
local machine
system
control set
services
jboss <------ find this (the jboss service)

create a Parameters key
create a Application value with "c:\whatever\startjboss.bat" as the string

so startjboss.bat will be the batch file that will
really be your service.
then just make sure startjboss.bat can start jboss

such as

############################
set JAVA_HOME=xxxxxxx
set PATH=xxxxxxxxx
call \packages\jboss-2.4.1\jboss\bin\run tomcat
############################


if you have any more questions you can post here
or email me. i do this all the time and it
works great.

oh, in run.bat (jboss)
i've modified the java command to start like this...

java -Xrs blah blah so the service won't stop
when someone logs on and off
(you'll see what i mean if you don't do this. all
of a sudden your service will quit.)
