I hope someone can help me with this. I am a n00b with regards to the Commons daemon, though I wrote a service years ago in c. I'm running on Windows7, 64-bit. I am registering my service with the amd64 version of prunsrv.exe, which I have copied/renamed to myapp.exe. I can run my app from a command line with... java -Dfile.encoding=Cp1252 -cp MyApp.jar com.xxxx.MyApp I have the following install service command:
myapp //IS//MyApp --DisplayName="MyApp Monitor" --Description="my app" --Startup=manual ++DependsOn=MySQL --StartMode=jvm --Jvm="%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll" --StartClass=com.xxx.MyApp --Classpath="lib/SNMP4J.jar;lib/charsets.jar;lib/fscontext.jar;lib/jndi.jar;lib/providerutil.jar;lib/log4j-1.2.15.jar;lib/jdom.jar;lib/commons-dbcp-1.2.1.jar;lib/commons-dbutils-1.0.jar;lib/commons-lang-2.3.jar;lib/commons-pool-1.3.jar;lib/mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar;./MyApp.jar;" ++JvmOptions="-Dfile.encoding=Cp1252" --StopTimeout=30 --LogLevel=Debug --StartPath="C:\Users\Thomas\workspace\MyApp\dist" It installs OK. When I try to manually start my service, the application launches. I put a few diagnostics at the beginning of the app, and it produces the following log: 2010-09-22 09:47:43,380 INFO MyApp main - Class Path: lib/SNMP4J.jar;lib/charsets.jar;lib/fscontext.jar;lib/jndi.jar;lib/providerutil.jar;lib/log4j-1.2.15.jar;lib/jdom.jar;lib/commons-dbcp-1.2.1.jar;lib/commons-dbutils-1.0.jar;lib/commons-lang-2.3.jar;lib/commons-pool-1.3.jar;lib/mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar;./MyApp.jar 2010-09-22 09:47:43,380 INFO MyApp main - Lib Path: C:\Program Files\Apache-commons;.;C:\Windows\Sun\Java\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;c:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Oracle\11.1.0\client_1;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Acronis\SnapAPI\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files\SlikSvn\bin\;C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\bin 2010-09-22 09:47:43,380 INFO MyApp main - Current Dir: C:\Users\Thomas\workspace\MyApp\dist 2010-09-22 09:47:43,380 DEBUG MyApp getProperty - Get Property (key=PCM_POLLING_INTERVAL,value=2000) 2010-09-22 09:47:43,442 DEBUG MyApp getProperty - Get Property (key=INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,value=com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory) 2010-09-22 09:47:43,442 DEBUG MyApp getProperty - Get Property (key=PROVIDER_URL,value=file://C:/tmp) 2010-09-22 09:47:43,458 ERROR PCM_DataConnection - DataBase Initialization Failed: javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class: com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com/sun/jndi/fscontext/RefFSContextFactory] Can anyone explain why the fscontext is incompatible?
