| Windows NT Service |
| ================== |
| |
| The two batch files for creating and removing OpenEJB as a Windows Service are basically |
| self explanatory. Both scripts must be run using an account that has rights to install |
| or de-install a service. This is usually an administrator account. |
| |
| service.install.as.admin.bat |
| service.remove.as.admin.bat |
| |
| If a 'jre' or 'jdk' directory is found in an adjacent path to this 'bin' directory then |
| this will be used as the preferred runtime, else the installed system runtime is used. |
| |
| NOTE: If you modify either of these batch files then ensure that there are no hidden |
| characters after the '^' continuation symbol (such as tab or space). But always ensure |
| there is a space before (and not a tab). The service installer will drop further options |
| and simply warn that '++JvmOptions' is unknown, leading to unexpected results. |
| |
| ++JvmOptions=-Dopenejb.home="%openejb%" ^ |
| ++JvmOptions=-Xms128M ^[tab or space] <-- Will break here, no further options will be appended |
| ++JvmOptions=-Xmx512M ^ |
| ++JvmOptions=-XX:MaxPermSize=256M <-- Last line has no continuation symbol |
| |
| Using the Monitor |
| ================= |
| The file named 'OpenEJBServer.exe' can be used to modify service parameters post installation by running as an Administrator. |
| To use the monitor feature: |
| |
| 1. Create a shortcut to 'OpenEJBServer.exe' in your 'Startup' directory |
| 2. Right click the shortcut and select 'Properties' |
| 3. Edit the 'Target' field and append //MS to the end of the line (Do not forget the preceding space ...\bin\OpenEJBServer.exe //MS) |
