Mladen Turk commented on DAEMON-258:
------------------------------------
I'm afraid we can't solve this issue.
The problem is that we must report service as started when we start JVM because
we wait on its return value forever, so in good case we would never report
service as started.
Not sure if there is some API or option so we instruct scm to refresh its state
because it seems that's the only way this can be solved.

> 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.
