Not sure how relevant this is, but I do notice that the Direct Readout Lab
at NASA has packaged up their Real Time Satellite Telemetry Processing
System (RT-STPS) with jsw.  It does appear that JSW will run things as a
service on Windows and linux platforms.  Since I generally use RT-STPS in
batch mode I can't swear to how good/bad jsw is.  But it does show that the
package has one high dollar client.

FWIW,

Hi all.  I'd like to get everyone's thoughts on getting GeoServer to be
better integrated on the Windows platform.  Currently, GeoServer is
started and stopped by command-line shortcuts accessed via the Start
Menu.  A result of this is that as long as GS is running, there is a
persistent command line window.  The window is handy for debugging, but
not good for much else.  Closing that window shuts down GS.  This is
sub-optimal, and can be improved.

I would like to see GS run as a service, like Tomcat or any other
program that is on without being launched.  Being more tightly
integrated with the OS makes for better management (services are
familiar to a Windows SysAdmin) and a better user experience.

In the past, I've used srvany.exe to force a program to act as a
service, but that's a) a little cheesy and b) might have licensing
issues.  I think we can do better.  I have seen (but never used) a tool
called Java Service Wrapper (wrapper.tanukisoftware.org) which appears
to do exactly this.  I would appreciate anyone's suggestions.
