Java : Java Services on NT

How to run a Java program as a proper NT service - ie. starts up when the computer reboots (rather than just when the user logs in), and notified of service events (such as shutdown requests)

Java

Java Native Methods

Java Servlets and Server-side Java

DCOM - Distributed Component Object Model

How to make a Java NT Service

A paper describing step-by-step how to run a Java Server app as an NT service.

JService

An interesting looking utility program enabling a Java application to run as a Windows NT service, and get notified about service shutdown requests. Includes some example Java services, including a wrapper for ObjectSpace's Voyager server. [Requires Java 1.1.3 or later].

Invoker

Another utility program to allow a Java application to be run as a proper NT service - including being notified of service start and stop requests. Also provides integration with the NT event log facilities.

NT Service in Java Example

Another example of how to run a java application as a Windows NT service, this one from Dan Hirpara and using another different method from either JService or Invoker! - Take your pick.

JSL - Java Service Launcher

JSL is a small NT-Service program written by Michael Roeschter, as a variation of the java launcher which comes with the JDK 1.2. It allows a Java program to run as a service under Window NT 4.0, and provides some java classes which help the programmer in performing an orderly shutdown of the java application when the service is stopped.

Building an Executable Launcher that Permits Running a Java 1.2 Application as an NT Service

This paper describes building an executable launcher for a Java 1.2 server application that permits self-installation as a Windows NT service. It also shows how to save and retrieve runtime arguments in the Windows registry, invoke the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in a separate thread using the Java Native Interface (JNI) and create a service dependency on the rmiregistry application supplied with the Java Development Kit (JDK) or Java Runtime Environment (JRE.) Full Win32 C source code for the launcher, Java sources for a sample Java server, and binaries for a working example are provided. Unlike some other solutions, this technique is not dependent on the MS Java SDK, and requires no special modification of the actual Java application.
