[Wrapper-user] Should my application block?

[Keith <li...@ke...>]

Hi All,

Great util, but I’m having a problem getting it set up. I’ve followed the
instructions for integration method1, and launching the myApp.bat file will
launch my App, which acts as a listener on a TCP port.

Should my application block once this listener thread has been set up? If I
do, I get an error starting the service (after a short while), as it stays
in my main method and never exits. If I remove the infinite loop from the
end, it falls straight through when starting the service, with a “your
service has started then stopped; some services automatically” message from
the OS.

Any thoughts? Am I missing something that I should be doing to inform the
wrapper that my service is up and running? When I block, the service is
running, but you get the “service did not respond in a timely fashion” error
dialog. Once this happens, it’s no longer running… :-(  If I don’t block, it
only lasts for a second.

Thanks in advance!

Keith.
