The WrapperSimpleApp is used to launch any Java application via its main
method.  This is the best choice for wrapping most applications.

The WrapperStartStopApp is used to control applications which use one
java app to launch an application and then a second one to shut it down
cleanly.  Often, the first app will open up a server socket and 
listening for
a connection.
A shutdown app then connects to the application using a socket and tells
it to shutdown.
When using the Wrapper, the entire lifecycle is controlled by the Wrapper.
The WrapperStartStopApp requires that two classes and their parameters
to be specified.  One for the main method of the application.  And the
second for the main method of the shutdown class.  When the Wrapper
launches a JVM, it calls the first class's main method to launch the
application.  Then when it is time to shutdown the application, it calls the
second classes main method.

They are both explained along with examples on:
http://wrapper.sourceforge.net/doc/english/api-overview.html
Let me know if there are any areas of the description which could be 
cleared up.

I hope that helps.
