[Wrapper-user] Windows service stopped on user logout

[Laurent C. <Lau...@jp...>]

Hello,

I am having an issue with a windows service stopping when the user logs out.

I'm using Java Service Wrapper 3.3.1 (CE) on Windows XP sp2, Sun JDK 1.6_u4
Here's what happens:
- my app is made in fact of 2 Java processes A and B
- process A launches process B when it starts
- process A starts a ServerSocket, accepts a connection from process B,
then reads from that connection.
this tells A when B is killed using Ctrl-C or the task manager, it also
tells B when A is killed as well. In either case the other process stops
- if B exits "normally", using a System.exit(x), A gets the exit code,
if the code is 2 it restarts B, otherwise it exits as well. The goal of
this is to enable a remote restart of process B from a JMX-enabled GUI
- what I have noticed is that when I logout, then login again, the
service is stopped, and I see a connection reset exception in the log of
process A, which means that process B died somehow, thus getting process
A to exit.

Do you have any hints as to why the process B is killed when login out,
and are there any configuration options I can use to prevent it?

Thanks for your time,
-Laurent
