Re: [Wrapper-user] Query about difference between console based and service based Wrapper usage

[Leif M. <lei...@ta...>]

Anand,
When run as a service, you are correct, the Windows Service Manager
will launch the Wrapper executable as a service directly.  There is no
chance to run any scripts first.

The Professional Edition includes a feature which enables you to
execute external applications at various points in the Wrapper / Java
lifecycle.  This is actually much more powerful than what you are
currently doing as it allows your cleanup/initialization scripts to be
run each time the JVM is launched rather than once before the Wrapper
is launched, thus handling the case where the JVM has been restarted
for some reason.

This is done in the Professional Edition using the following
properties in your Wrapper.conf:
---
wrapper.event.jvm_prelaunch.command.argv.1=c:¥myapp¥bin¥myinit.bat
wrapper.event.jvm_prelaunch.command.argv.2=arg1
wrapper.event.jvm_prelaunch.command.block=TRUE
---

I would be happy to generate a 1 month trial license for you to
experiment with.   To do so, please register with our site:
