Re: [Wrapper-user] Java application run as a service

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

Method 3 will work.  But you most likely do not need to do that.
Just write a regular standalone Java application which registers
a shutdown hook.  Run that under Method 1 and you should be
set.  Your class's main method will be run on startup and the
shutdown hook on shutdown.

If and only if you find you need finer control. you can try out
Method 3.   You almost never need to do so however.

Cheers,
Leif
