OrionSupport, Running as a Service in Windows

Running as a Service in Windows

Written by Joseph Ottinger

Running orion as a windows service can be achieved easily with the Java Service Wrapper

The documentation provided by the service wrapper is excellent, however, here is an example configuration file to help get you started:

wrapper.java.command=<jdkhome>/bin/java

wrapper.java.mainclass=org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.WrapperSimpleApp


wrapper.java.classpath.1=orion.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.2=jdbc.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.3=activation.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.4=mail.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.5=jsse.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.6=jnet.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.7=jdbc.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.8=ejb.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.9=jaxp.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.10=crimson.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.11=xalan.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.12=jta.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.13=parser.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.14=jaas.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.15=jcert.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.16=<jdkhome>/lib/tools.jar

wrapper.java.classpath.17=wrapper.jar

# Application parameters.  Add parameters as needed starting from 1

wrapper.app.parameter.1=com.evermind.server.ApplicationServer

wrapper.app.parameter.2=-out

wrapper.app.parameter.3=log/console.log

wrapper.app.parameter.4=-err

wrapper.app.parameter.5=log/err-console.log


# Port which the native wrapper code will attempt to connect to

wrapper.logfile.loglevel=STATUS


# Maximum size that the log file will be allowed to grow to before

#  the log is rolled. Size is specified in bytes.  The default value

#  of 0, disables log rolling.  May abbreviate with the 'k' (kb) or

#  'm' (mb) suffix.  For example: 10m = 10 megabytes.

wrapper.logfile.maxsize=1m


# Maximum number of rolled log files which will be allowed before old

#  files are deleted.  The default value of 0 implies no limit.

wrapper.logfile.maxfiles=5


# Log Level for sys/event log output.  (See docs for log levels)
