Run java servers as windows services

[Sergio Pereira]

Hi, all!
I've an application which is written part in VB and part in java running on
Win2K.
The problem is: how to start the java servers (web servers and object
servers) when the system starts. I'd like to make them services but I do not
know how to do it.
I used the ntsvc.ocx to compile a VB application that run as a service and
starts the java servers (Shell "Start_java.bat", vbNormalNoFocus)
The problem is that the java servers shut down as soon as someone logs-in
and then log-off in the machine running the servers!

Is there a way to prevent them from shutting down ? The VB service stills
there after the user logs-off, but the java servers are not.

Thanks for any help!

Try the following which makes the java apps to services.

RunExec(http://www.winwinsoft.com/goodies/RunExeSvc/index.html)
JNT (http://www.eworksmart.com/JNT)

The best way to make a Java app run as an NT service is to use the Microsoft
SDK for Java. It includes the com.ms.service.Service class which you can
extend and the jntsvc.exe utility that will create the exe file. Best of
all, it's free and it's not a hack or workaround like the VB service controls.
