Re: [Wrapper-user] JWS vs. Cygwin/cygrunsrv

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

Mehul,
    Both will run the java app as a service, but the wrapper has many 
more features for
debugging, configuration, and reliability.  The biggest that people are 
interested in is the
ability to detect and recover from frozen or crashed JVM instances.

    It also depends on how your app is being deployed.  The wrapper can 
be easily
installed as part of a distribution (with the license file visible ;-)  
But cygwin is going to
require a much more involved setup.

Cheers,
Leif
