Each of eight primitive of java data types has a class dedicated to it, are known as wrapper classes, because they wrap the primitive data type into an object of that class. The wrapper classes are part of the java.lang package, which is imported by default into all Java programs. The usual Java Hello World application starts up, prints out Hello World and then exits. That is not very interesting to show off a tool for running and monitoring services. In the case of the Java Service Wrapper, an example which can be installed and then stay running as a Windows Service, or UNIX daemon is required.

I've just inherited a java application that needs to be installed as a service on XP and vista. It's been about 8 years since I've used windows in any form and I've never had to create a service, let alone from something like a java app (I've got a jar for the app and a single dependency jar - log4j). What is the magic necessary to make this run as a service? I've got the source, so code modifications, though preferably avoided, are possible.

Apache Commons Daemon is a good alternative. It has Procrun for windows services, and Jsvc for unix daemons. It uses less restrictive Apache license, and Apache Tomcat uses it as a part of itself to run on Windows and Linux! To get it work is a bit tricky, but there is an exhaustive article with working example.

Besides that, you may look at the binservice.bat in Apache Tomcat to get an idea how to setup the service. In Tomcat they rename the Procrun binaries (prunsrv.exe -> tomcat6.exe, prunmgr.exe -> tomcat6w.exe).

Something I struggled with using Procrun, your start and stop methods must accept the parameters (String[] argv). For example 'start(String[] argv)' and 'stop(String[] argv)' would work, but 'start()' and 'stop()' would cause errors. If you can't modify those calls, consider making a bootstrapper class that can massage those calls to fit your needs.

With Apache Commons Daemon you can now have a custom executable name and icon! You can also get a custom Windows tray monitor with your own name and icon!

I now have my service running with my own name and icon (prunsrv.exe), and the system tray monitor (prunmgr.exe) also has my own custom name and icon!

1. Download the Apache Commons Daemon binaries (you will need prunsrv.exe and prunmgr.exe).
2. Rename them to be MyServiceName.exe and MyServiceNamew.exe respectively.

3. Download WinRun4J and use the RCEDIT.exe program that comes with it to modify the Apache executable to embed your own custom icon like this:

4. Now install your Windows service like this (see documentation for more details and options):

5. Now you have a Windows service of your Jar that will run with your own icon and name! You can also launch the monitor file and it will run in the system tray with your own icon and name.

A simple way is the NSSM Wrapper Wrapper (see my blog entry).

One more option is WinRun4J. This is a configurable java launcher that doubles as a windows service host (both 32 and 64 bit versions). It is open source and there are no restrictions on its use.

(full disclosure: I work on this project).

Yet another answer is Yet Another Java Service Wrapper, this seems like a good alternative to Java Service Wrapper as has better licensing. It is also intended to be easy to move from JSW to YAJSW. Certainly for me, brand new to windows servers and trying to get a Java app running as a service, it was very easy to use.

Some others I found, but didn't end up using:

• Java Service Launcher I didn't use this because it looked more complicated to get working than YAJSW. I don't think this is a wrapper.
• JSmooth Creating Window's services isn't its primary goal, but can be done. I didn't use this because there's been no activity since 2007.

I think the Java Service Wrapper works well. Note that there are three ways to integrate your application. It sounds like option 1 will work best for you given that you don't want to change the code. The configuration file can get a little crazy, but just remember that (for option 1) the program you're starting and for which you'll be specifying arguments, is their helper program, which will then start your program. They have an example configuration file for this.

If you use Gradle Build Tool you can try my windows-service-plugin, which facilitates using of Apache Commons Daemon Procrun.

To create a java windows service application with the plugin you need to go through several simple steps.

1. Create a main service class with the appropriate method.

2. Include the plugin into your build.gradle file.

   The same script snippet for new, incubating, plugin mechanism introduced in Gradle 2.1:

3. Configure the plugin.

4. Run createWindowsService gradle task to create a windows service distribution.

That's all you need to do to create a simple windows service. The plugin will automatically download Apache Commons Daemon Procrun binaries, extract this binaries to the service distribution directory and create batch files for installation/uninstallation of the service.

In ${project.buildDir}/windows-service directory you will find service executables, batch scripts for installation/uninstallation of the service and all runtime libraries. To install the service run <project-name>-install.bat and if you want to uninstall the service run <project-name>-uninstall.bat.To start and stop the service use <project-name>w.exe executable.

Note that the method handling service start should create and start a separate thread to carry out the processing, and then return. The main method is called from different threads when you start and stop the service.

For more information, please read about the plugin and Apache Commons Daemon Procrun.

JavaService is LGPL. It is very easy and stable. Highly recommended.

With Java 8 we can handle this scenario without any external tools. javapackager tool coming with java 8 provides an option to create self contained application bundles:

-native typeGenerate self-contained application bundles (if possible). Use the -B option to provide arguments to the bundlers being used. If type is specified, then only a bundle of this type is created. If no type is specified, all is used.

Gameplay can even be difficult to understand if you try to read the manual as you go along.

In case of windows refer the following doc we can create msi or exe as needed.

Use 'winsw' which was written for Glassfish v3 but works well with Java programs in general.

Require .NET runtime installed.

I've used JavaService before with good success. It hasn't been updated in a couple of years, but was pretty rock solid back when I used it.

I didn't like the licensing for the Java Service Wrapper. I went with ActiveState Perl to write a service that does the work.

I thought about writing a service in C#, but my time constraints were too tight.

I always just use sc.exe (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251192). It should be installed on XP from SP1, and if it's not in your flavor of Vista, you can download load it with the Vista resource kit.

I haven't done anything too complicated with Java, but using either a fully qualified command line argument (x:java.exe ..) or creating a script with Ant to include depencies and set parameters works fine for me.

A pretty good comparison of different solutions is available at :http://yajsw.sourceforge.net/#mozTocId284533

Personally like launch4j

it's simple as you have to put shortcut in

Windows 7C:usersAll UsersStart MenuProgramsStartup(Admin) or User home directory(%userProfile%)

Windows 10 :In Run shell:startup

in it's property -> shortcut -> target - >java.exe -jar D:.runJar.jar

NOTE: This will run only after you login

With Admin Right

sc create serviceName binpath= 'java.exe -jar D:.runJar.jar' Will create windows service

Java Wrapper Service

if you get timeout use cmd /c D:JAVA7~1jdk1.7.0_51binjava.exe -jar d:jenkinsjenkins.war but even with this you'll get timeout but in background java.exe will be started. Check in task manager

NOTE: This will run at windows logon start-up(before sign-in, Based on service 'Startup Type')

Another good option is FireDaemon. It's used by some big shops like NASA, IBM, etc; see their web site for a full list.

Java Service Wrapper Tutorial Windows

I am currently requiring this to run an Eclipse-based application but I need to set some variables first that is local to that application. sc.exe will only allow executables but not scripts so I turned to autoexnt.exe which is part of the Windows 2003 resource kit. It restricts the service to a single batch file but I only need one batch script to be converted into a service.

ciao!

Exe4j is a very good option although it is not free. Check it out at Exe4j In the wizard to create the .exe file, you are give the option to create a service.
