Running a Java App as a Service

[Raga]

Hi,

I have a pure java application which I want to run as a service. Any
suggestions on how to do it ? I saw some articles saying how to use JNI
to do it along with C code. But I am looking for a pure Java solution.
Also, some said that -Xrs option of the 'java' command would help. But
when I ran the application with 'Xrs' option, I didn't notice any
difference from the run without the option.

Thanks.

Hi,

This is

I have doubts on the licensing of Apache Commons Daemon & Java Service
Wrapper.

Is it ok to bundle Java Service Wrapper with a company's proprietary
product & sell the product? Meaning say if a company product named
product-1 uses Java Service Wrapper to run as a Windows Service. Is it
ok to sell product-1 (naturally Java Service Wrapper has to be bundled
with it to enable it to be run as a Windows Service) as a proprietary
product?

Thanks.

I dont'know about Commons Daemon, but JSW has this license:

See the full licence on the site. As far as I can see, you are allowed
to do almost anything with it as long as you bundle the license and
copyright notice.
