将Java应用程序作为服务运行

Question

I would like to run a Java application as a service. Unfortunately, I am limited in that I can't use something like the Java Service Wrapper (which does appear to be an excellent tool).

Is there any way of running an executable JAR, as a service, without relying on external applications? I currently have the service installed, but it fails to start. This is where I am getting stuck and I haven't been able to find anything on Google other than information about the JSW.

Answer 1

There's an LGPL clone of the Java Service Wrapper: http://yajsw.sourceforge.net

BTW, IANAL, but I suspect that JSW people are spreading FUD, and their software can be used to service-enable commercial applications under GPL license, just like one can gzip a commercial app for redistribution. I could be completely wrong about this, though :)

Answer 2

Another option, Apache Commons Daemon's procrun.

See http://commons.apache.org/daemon/

Answer 3

A program that should run as windows service must provide certain functions that the windows service manager uses to communicate with that service.

As long as there is no JVM that implements this functions directly (and I know of none) you will need some kind of wrapper.

I have successfully used srvany for a java based windows service (Basically it allows to run any program as windows service and it works fine with java)

Answer 4

我还没试过，但是Launch4j看起来可以满足你的需求。

Answer 5

one more option winrun4j . the license is eclipse's CPL.

Answer 6

您可以像这样使用NSSM ：

nssm install MyService "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe" -jar "path\to\the\file.jar"

Answer 7

The most simple way I found was RunAsService .

A co-worker recommended a tool called SC , but I did not try it.

Answer 8

JSmooth可以做到这一点，它可以用ant编写脚本。
