I've finished that basic edit (turns out it was quicker and easier
than I thought.) I'm posting it on my company's website (I own it, so
it's not a problem) unless you would have another option that you
prefer.<br>
<br>
The source code is included in the .jar file. I haven't finished
polishing it up, but it seems to function well.<br>
<br>
The enhancements I'd really like to make are a follows:<br>
<ul>
<li>"Standard" config files for the usual deployments</li>
<li>Drop-down lists of available options (either based on current
category or checking against current setting<br>
</li>
<li>Breaking the settings up into categories (something along "JVM",
"Application Parameters", "Service Options" etc...basically, following
the layout in the documentation.)</li>
<li>Choosing absolute, relative, or environment file paths</li>
<li>Auto-detect of relevant files (jars, wrapper.exe, wrapper.conf,
etc.)</li>
</ul>
I'll write back when I get it set up. Any suggestions, ideas, or
options would be appreciated.<br>
<br>

PS. Unless it's going to cause any major heartache, I'd like to put it
out under the GPL. If this is going to be a problem, let me know.<br>

Yes, please post what you have created. That sounds like it could
be a useful addition.

I've started using Java ServiceWrapper for deployment on my
development projects for Windows servers, and I am very impressed. The
setup is straightforward, and I believe that if you understand *NIX-type
services, it comes very easy.
However, I have to send my work to a network administrator who is
more comfortable in an MS-only environment. While not trying to step on
his toes, I have to explain very carefully where to place the
pre-configured files and wrapper.conf file without sounding pushy.
I was wondering if anyone has worked on a configuration GUI to
handle the wrapper.conf file? I have created an application for
configuring for the smb.conf file while keeping all comments intact, and
I thought that there might be an interest in doing the same thing for
the wrapper.conf file.
(As an aside, I understand that there are plenty of other SAMBA
configuration apps out there (Webmin and SWAT are pretty obvious) but
they require the installation of another service with all the associated
overhead and security concerns. I wanted to have a simple,
straight-forward app that would not require any outside support and run
on any client. While rough looking, it pretty much achieved my goals.)
I have started on the basics, and should have a running example in
about a week. If there is enough interest, I'd be glad to submit it
either as an included part of the service wrapper or a separate jar
executable. (That way, the user could simply enter "java -jar
JSWConfig.jar" and go to work.)
I'm open to any comments, suggestions, heckling, or
name-calling--I've got tough skin, and I'd like to get a good idea if
this is worth pursuing for the good of everyone or just something I'll
keep in my own toolbox.
