Re: [Wrapper-user] How to configure/What are the requirements to configure a Windows Service with automatic recovery?

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

Fabio,
Thank you for the configuration file.  It looks like you have it set
up correctly.  There are a couple things to keep in mind.

1) There are two components which are being monitored.

a) The first is the JVM itself.  Many JVM problems can be monitored,
detected, and recovered by the Wrapper process.  In these cases, the
wrapper.ntservice.recovery.* properties are not used.

b) The second is if the Wrapper process itself crashes.  This is rare,
but if it did happen, then the Windows Service Manager can make use of
the settings in the wrapper.ntservice.recovery.* properties to restart
the Wrapper process as a service and thus make sure your service stays
up and running.

2) The wrapper.ntservice.recovery.* properties are available in the
Standard and Professional editions.

How are you running your tests?  Is it a test of the JVM crashing or
the Wrapper?

Cheers,
Leif
