Whatever Tomcat did: + When I download Tomcat for Windows, I get a Windows installer. After installation of which, I have a Windows service that I can start and stop
+ When I install Tomcat for Linux (from the distribution’s package repository) I get a service script that I can start/stop/restart just like any other services + I don’t have the latest Mac but I assume the experience is comparable to the above. I don’t know the details of how Tomcat did it. But if you can do what they did, I think your users will be happy. -- Weiqi Gao From: Alan Kent Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2011 10:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [The Java Posse] Running a Java process as a service on multiple platforms 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: a.. "Java Service Wrapper by Tanuki Software http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com/"; - commercial license required for 64 bit Windows b.. "Yet Another Java Service Wrapper: http://sourceforge.net/projects/yajsw"; - Lots of platforms, free, but marked as beta c.. "Apache Commons Daemon: http://commons.apache.org/daemon"; - no 64 bit windows support? d.. "JavaService: http://forge.objectweb.org/projects/javaservice"; - Windows only e.. "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!
