Run .Java as a Windows-service?

[Bas]

Hi Guru's,

Does anyone know how to 'convert' a .java-program to a Windows XP Service?

Someone wrote a Java application to copy records from an external database
to a MySQL database running on the local machine. This program is started
with a batchfile with the command "JAVA PROGRAM.JAVA". This batchfile runs
automatically at login (it's in the startup-folder). The problem is you
always have to log on to start the program. I'd rather would like to have it
running as a service.

As an additional problem; the application generates output wich is important
to see.


Thanks, Bas.

I have seen programs available on the web to do this. I don't recall their
names, but Google and AltaVista are your friends.

A search on AltaVista requiring all three words java, windows and service
returned many hits, with several of the first 50 hits being free software to
provide this service.

There are several free tools for this. I've had good experiences so far
with http://jslwin.sourceforge.net/

I can highly recommend Java Service Wrapper. Supports running both as
Windows service, or as UNIX daemon.

We are using Java Service Wrapper in the product. It works well except
that there are a few issues with BEA JRockit.
