How to register(install) as service java application with JSVC wrapper on MacOS X

Question

I have an application which i want to run as service on MacOS X. I used JSVC as wrapper and currently it starts in console just fine, shutdown process is correct, etc. So now i have to register it as service. Found some manuals, wrote .plist file. Next i executed

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/my.service.plist
sudo launchctl start my.service

And nothing happened. Service didn't started.

plist contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>my.service</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/servertest/MYService</string>

<string>server</string>
<string>-outfile</string>
<string>out.txt</string>

<string>err.txt</string>

<string>-home</string>
<string>/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home</string>
<string>-cp</string>
<string>./lib/hsqldb.jar:./lib/my-wrapper.jar:./lib/commons-daemon-1.0.8.jar</string>
<string>my.service.DaemonMac</string>
</array>
<key>WorkingDirectory</key>
<string>/servertest</string>
<key>StandardOutPath</key>
<string>/servertest/stdout.log</string>
<key>StandardErrorPath</key>
<string>/servertest/stderr.log</string>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<false/>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>

Okay, nobody knows, i guess. Anyway, i handled it myself. Here's example which worked for me:
