Running a Java App as a Service

Hi,

I have a pure java application which I want to run as a service. Any
suggestions on how to do it ? I saw some articles saying how to use JNI
to do it along with C code. But I am looking for a pure Java solution.
Also, some said that -Xrs option of the 'java' command would help. But
when I ran the application with 'Xrs' option, I didn't notice any
difference from the run without the option.

Thanks.

Some time ago, I used JSL (Java Service Launcher). It worked fine. (But
I do not know if it is limited to a certain java version. I used java
1.4, IIRC).

Ciao,
Ingo

You could look at 'Java Service Wrapper'.

Thanks!

I have doubts on the licensing of apache Commons Daemon & Java Service
Wrapper.

Is it ok to bundle Java Service Wrapper with a company's proprietary
product & sell the product? Meaning say if a company product named
product-1 uses Java Service Wrapper to run as a Windows Service. Is it
ok to sell product-1 (naturally Java Service Wrapper has to be bundled
with it to enable it to be run as a Windows Service) as a proprietary
product?

Thanks.
