We (High Sierra Technology, http://www.hisitech.com)
have a running implementation using our own product:
JavaService.
It is a modified version of the JavaService framework from Mike Jennings, published in
Dr. Dobb's one year ago. We are using it about one year with Jonas 1.6.1 and Windows
HotSpot server 2.0 jdk1.3 at a customer's premises.
It survives crashes of the 1.3 Java Virtual Machine on user logout.
Jonas will have serious installation troubles under jdk1.2.2 (not that it is
impossible, but it is hard), due to a bug on the context class loader used for
attached threads, that makes difficult to have RMI classes loaded correctly when
running as a service. This bug does not apply to jvm 1.3.
It allows propagation of Window events related to services to the JVM, such as
stopping a service in a clean, ordered way, either in the Services Control Panel or by
shutting down the machine.
This is the reason way we needed to use something like this. Jigsaw and Jonas both are
better dealt with if they shut down the JVM nicely. Else one can have configuration
files corrupt (Jigsaw) and/or transactions rolled back (Jonas).
The product is a commercial one. Most of the source code (except for the part that
avoids shutdown under jdk1.3) is Open Sourced. It would be fairly trivial to build
your own version skipping this bug. Our business model is based on warranty and
support for the "compiled" copy, plus the fact that most java developers does not want
to deal with issues like compiling C++ applications and the like.
There is a "shareware" version downloadable at our Web Site.
Sorry about the advertising, but I think these kind of issues are relevant to products
like Jonas, where use as a service is a real need.
