Hi all,

Just wondering what the current "best practice" was on having a Java process (a server) that is to be restarted with the machine boot. The service may need to be deployed on different platforms (Unix/Linux, Windows32, Windows64, etc). You know, that old "write once, run anywhere" business.

Some options I know of:

 * "Java Service Wrapper by Tanuki Software
   http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com/"; - commercial license required
   for 64 bit Windows
 * "Yet Another Java Service Wrapper:
   http://sourceforge.net/projects/yajsw"; - Lots of platforms, free,
   but marked as beta
 * "Apache Commons Daemon: http://commons.apache.org/daemon"; - no 64
   bit windows support?
 * "JavaService: http://forge.objectweb.org/projects/javaservice"; -
   Windows only
 * "NT Wrapper for Windows: http://www.duodata.de/ntwrapper/ " -
   Windows only, commercial license


There are more - but I was wondering if there was any clear winner. Any hands on experience people are willing to share? Yet Another Java Service Wrapper (yajsw) looked promising, but the beta label was concerning.

Thanks!
Alan
