If you have 300 copies of the Wrapper running, A) I am impressed, what 
are  you running?
But I do see the maintenance problem you are trying to avoid.   Once I 
add the ability to
register additional WrapperListeners, this will be easier.  But for now, 
I would suggest making
a copy of the WrapperSimpleApp or WrapperStartStopApp class and then 
modifying the
start, stop, and controlEvent methods to do what you need.  You will 
then be able to reuse
that new helper class on all of your services without having to modify 
any other code.  You
will have problems when you need to upgrade the from the original code 
on the next
release.  But hopefully I will be able to modify the classes so that 
they can be "extended"
without the need to modify them in the future.

Cheers,
Leif
