Java 1.5 Windows Service

[JavaEnquirer]

Does any body know of a way of installing a Java 1.5 program as a
windows service without resorting to writing my own C wrapper. There
seems to be plenty of 1.2 utilities out there ( commercial and free),
any ideas for 1.5?

Many thanks in advance.

Did you try "JSL"? (I dont know it if supports Java 1.5.)

Ciao,

Cheers,

I'm in the prcess of trying JSL, it seems just the job. Just got to get
it to work now - JVM keeps terminating when I start the service!

Thanks again.

I'm not familiar with JSL recommended in another response. But we've
been using JavaService with our app, though we haven't yet switched up
to Java 1.5. But JavaService is open source and has served our needs
exceedingly well.

You could use Commons Daemon:
