This article will show you how to configure Apache Geronimo v2.0 to run as a MS Windows service. A Java Service Wrapper will be required as an additional software to achieve this configuration. Using a service wrapper gives you some additional "control" on the service you are configuring such as the ability to ping the service and take action if the service is down.

...

As we are trying to keep all the wrapper files within Geronimo's directory structure, create the configuration file as illustrated in the following example and place it in the <geronimo_home>/var/conf/wrapper.conf directory.

...

...

This service wrapper allows three different methods of integration depending on, among other things, whether you use the same class or not to start and stop the server.

...

Next we will create a batch file to run the service from the command line without the need of actually installing the service. This is particularly helpful when testing and debugging the configuration. Create the g_service.bat batch file in the <geronimo_home>/bin directory and copy the content of the following example.

...

...

This file is a modified version from the one provided by the wrapper as a sample, it has been edited to specify the location of the wrapper.conf file relative to Geronimo's var/config directory.

...

You should see a screen similar to the following example, note that part has been truncated for display purposes. No FormatbgColor
