Creating a new service "Steve Grosz" <boise_bound[ at ]hotmail.com> 12/29/2008 6:48:12 PM I have a situation that I need a Java application to run as a service. I know that new services can be created using the Windows Resouce Kit and instsrv.exe I'm confused as to how to set up it up exactly. The company that gave us the program gave us a batch file to run, which I know you can't use with instsrv.exe (it says no batch files). The command to start the application is: java -jar -Xmx256M Email2Case.jar sfdcConfig.txt log4j.properties How can I create a new service around THAT????

Hi, Have a look at "How To Create a User-Defined Service" (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890). It is pretty straitghtforward. There is also the Srvany.wri document included in the resource kit.

Re: Creating a new service "Steve Grosz" <boise_bound[ at ]hotmail.com> 12/29/2008 7:10:25 PM I'm thinking that this can, the developer suggested a Java Service wrapper (http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/) But I was wondering if I could just create a service in 2003..... I've looked at the documents, but matching up the info for our command line doesn't match up with the requirements for creating the service, as far as I can tell....... Or am I missing something here? "Dave Patrick" <DSPatrick[ at ]nospam.gmail.com> wrote in message news:uoC3IheaJHA.4520[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...
