Re: [Wrapper-user] Console Not Presented

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

Richard,
Not having used CruiseControl, I am not sure what you are referring to when
you say "console"? Is this a text console, or a swing base GUI?

The Wrapper can be run in console mode or as a service. What happens
when you are running in console mode on both platforms? Are you able to
see your "console"? If not then the rest of this mail will not make any
difference.

On Windows when running as a service, you must set the
wrapper.ntservice.interactive property to true or the Service will not be
able to present any kind of a UI to the user. If your "console" is Swing
based then this will make it visible.

If however you wish to display the text based console of the Wrapper and
thus JVM, you will also need to set the wrapper.ntservice.console
property to TRUE:
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/prop-ntservice-console.html

On Linux, if your application wishes to display a GUI, then Java must be
able
to access the DISPLAY environment variable. You will need to make sure
that the Wrapper is launched in an environment where that is set. If you
have configured your system to start the wrapper on system startup then
the DISPLAY variable will not be set at that point.

There are some games that you can play by setting it manually in the
wrapper.conf file and then doing occasional JVM restarts if the JVM is
having problems displaying its GUI. Once the window system is up and a
user has logged in the display will become available and the program should
be able to show its interface. (This is untried, but it should work...)

Cheers,
Leif
