Re: [Wrapper-user] running jetty as a windows service help

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

Joe,
    You should probably talk to the Jetty guys about this as it is their
configuration file.  Most likely the wrapper.conf file you are using is
meant for a different version of Jetty or something.

    As to your problem though.  It looks like the Wrapper is attempting
to launch your Jetty server correctly.  But it is failing to fine classes
from the wrapper.jar file.  Most likely it is not in your classpath.

    Add the following line to your wrapper.conf.  This will cause the
java command line to show up in the log file.   This will make it easy
to tell what is going on as you can see what jars are being found.
wrapper.java.command.loglevel=INFO

    I also suggest not trying to run as a service yet.   Start by running
in console mode.  If that doesn't work then it will not run as a service.
wrapper.exe -c jetty-service.conf
Once you get things working in console mode, then you can move on
to trying it as a service.

Cheers,
Leif
