-----------------------------------
Summary: prunsrv to block until start method returns
Key: DAEMON-258
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-258
Project: Commons Daemon
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Procrun
Affects Versions: 1.0.10
Environment: Windows all versions
Reporter: Ian Beaumont
Currently, when starting a windows service from the service control panel based
on prunsrv using the JVM.dll the start method is called in a separate thread.
Upon calling this thread, the service is marked as "started" in the service
control panel. This is confusing, as if something goes wrong in the program
start-up sequence (e.g. a database connection is unavailable) then the program
will fail to start successfully but the user will not get any indication of
this (they have to press "refresh" in the windows services window to see the
service failed to start).
It would be better to have an option to report the "service" as "starting"
while the "start" method is running and only when the method returns, mark the
service as "started" or "stopped" depending on a return code from the "start"
method.
