Re: [Wrapper-user] What happens if wrapper.exe dies?

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

Vishal,
After you have installed the Wrapper as a service, go into the Windows
Service Manager and view the Properties for the Wrapper service.  You
can set this up using the "Recovery" tab.

If you kill the Wrapper process, then the JVM will keep running for up
to 3 times the value of the wrapper.ping.timeout property.   It will
then shut itself down.   If you use the Recovery feature, I recommend
setting the delay before restart to at least this long.   If you start
a second JVM before the first has shut itself down then you would
encounter port conflicts when the second JVM tries to start.   You
could handle such errors with the normal JVM restart features in the
second Wrapper instance however.

We are looking into what would be involved to support this directly
from the Wrapper configuration file.  That would be in a future
release however.

Please let me know how this works for you.

Cheers,
Leif
