There would be no batch file if you are starting the program as a service.
Batch files cannot be started as NT services. You have to write a C/C++ prog
with an embedded JVM to run Java code as a service.
The one fix is to make sure that everything looked for is found by
classpath,
ie files are found as resources, etc, and use -Djava.classpath=<all your
needed
paths>

Errrmmmmm... I hate pointing the obvious out to competent people, but how
about
'cd %JBOSS_HOME%' at the top of your batch file?
