Ian Beaumont commented on DAEMON-258:
-------------------------------------
Yes, problem still exists. The DAEMON-262 works around the problem if starting
using the prunmgr panel, but the issue I have is when starting using the
"Windows service control panel".
> prunsrv to block until start method returns

> 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.
