[Wrapper-user] Re: Problem with Java service in Windows 2000

[<sna...@gm...>]

Leif ,
Following is my finding and some answers to your questions
1) When I set to run the service as Administrator, Administrator was the currently logged in user.
2) Anyway did more tests, in the services "Log on as" need to be modified to "This account". Account has to be ANY user with administrative privilege. For a normal user, the problem still remains. The account specified need not be the currently logged in user.
3) It appears to be a timing/locking problem somewhere in Java VM. Instead of using Wrapper, I used service helper - srvstart (www.nick.rozanski.com/services.htm), Microsoft's srvany.exe all result in the same problem.
4) Problem occurs only for a Swing based programs. All others appear to be ok.
5) I am running this on a Windows 2000 Server with all the latest patches. Dell OptiPlex GX1p (500 MHz). I have tried it on 4 other machines and this problem does not show up on them
6) When the problem happens (swing program struck on startup), some external programs do not start at all. Like "Setup.exe" - standard installation package. The moment javaw.exe / java.exe of the Swing program is killed in task manager, external programs immediately starts. 
7) Have also tried various JRE versions, still no luck. 

Hope this is helpful in determining the root cause of this problem. I will also be interested in finding out if for the other user who reported this bug earlier, the workaround suggested works for him also.

thanks
sona

Btw., pardon me if this question is dumb... how do I reply to the posts?
