Running JBOSS as service in Windows or Running JBOSS in background

Hi,

I am trying to run JBOSS as service in Windows 2008 machine, I will post the updates below.

I am following the below link for reference.

https://community.jboss.org/wiki/RunJBossAsAServiceOnWindows

• Downloaded wrapper-windows-x86-32-3.5.15-st from http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/jmx.html
• Copied it to required server and unzipped it. 
• Copied Wrapper DLL and JAR from unzipped folder/lib to JBOSS/Lib, and exe from bin folder of Wrapper to bin folder of JBOSS as specified in above link 
• Created folder structure as follows %JBOSS_HOME%\server\YOURCONFIG\wrapper
• Verify if %JBOSS_HOME% is set or not using echo %JBOSS_HOME% in command prompt 
• If %JBOSS_HOME% is not set, Set JBOSS_HOME as C:\jboss-4.2.3.GA\jboss-4.2.3.GA in environment variables.
• Verify echo %JBOSS_HOME% after setting environment variable and it should display jboss path. 
• Create wrapper.conf file in wrapper.conf file inside %JBOSS_HOME%\server\YOURCONFIG\wrapper
• Copy following lines and place it in wrapper.conf file and change java path in first line accordingly. 

wrapper.java.command=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_33/bin/java

wrapper.java.mainclass=org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.WrapperSimpleApp

wrapper.java.classpath.1=%JBOSS_HOME%/lib/wrapper.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.2=%JAVA_HOME%/bin/java/lib/tools.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.3=./run.jar

wrapper.java.library.path.1=%JBOSS_HOME%/lib

# these are the JAVA_OPTS

wrapper.java.additional.1=-server

# enviroment variables - define the ones that match your desired environment

wrapper.java.additional.2=-Denviromnment.variable=value

# memory parameters - define the ones that match your desired environment

wrapper.java.additional.3=-Xms64m

wrapper.java.additional.4=-Xmx96m

# If you need serialization suppport 

wrapper.java.additional.5=-Dsession.serialization.jboss=true

wrapper.app.parameter.1=org.jboss.Main

# Parameters to be passed to the application (Jboss) 

# Define server name (configuration) - If you need a config that is different than the "default" or need to run multiple configs

wrapper.app.parameter.2=-c YOURCONFIG

# Define listening IP - If you have more than one IP or want to indicate to listen on a specific IP

wrapper.app.parameter.3=-b aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd

# wrapper log location

wrapper.logfile=%JBOSS_HOME%/server/YOURCONFIG/log/wrapper.log

# You must not change below parameters without first uninstall the service

# service name

wrapper.ntservice.name=JbossYOURCONFIG

# service display name

wrapper.ntservice.displayname=JBoss Server YOURCONFIG

• After placing need to register with  http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com site to get free trail of 30 days. 
• After registration licence key will be sent to your mail and with that you need to generate wrapper-licence.conf file and you need to append this text to wrapper.conf

My licence generated:

#encoding=UTF-8
wrapper.license.type=NODE
wrapper.license.id=

201208110011 wrapper.license.licensee=
TSILA-201208110010 wrapper.license.host_id=02004c4f4f50 wrapper.license.features=pro, 64bit, trial wrapper.license.upgrade_term.begin_date=2012-08-11 wrapper.license.upgrade_term.end_date=2012-09-11 wrapper.license.lease_term.begin_date=2012-08-11 wrapper.license.lease_term.end_date=2012-09-11 wrapper.license.key.1=a05f-5081-6baa-5bf5 wrapper.license.key.2=9f43-6b1c-a56a-7f2e wrapper.license.key.3=5d6c-5eb6-b1e4-3641 wrapper.license.key.4=141d-9373-5478-5e62

• The following lines are not required as we are not passing any parameters to JBOSS server 

#wrapper.app.parameter.2=-c YOURCONFIG

#wrapper.app.parameter.3=-b aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd

• To test JBOSS run the following in command prompt

cd %JBOSS_HOME%\bin\
wrapper.exe -c %JBOSS_HOME%\server\YOURCONFIG\wrapper\wrapper.conf

• If every thing is running fine then install it using 

cd %JBOSS_HOME%\bin\
wrapper.exe -i %JBOSS_HOME%\server\YOURCONFIG\wrapper\wrapper.conf

Thanks !!! :) :)
