Re: [Wrapper-user] Drag and Drop disabled when running as service via a wrapper

[Mark L. <mid...@ve...>]

Leif,

Yes, the drag and drop works when my app is run in the Wrapper in a 
console. It also works when the app is run directly in the JVM, without 
the Wrapper. It does not work when it is run in the Wrapper as a 
Service. I have no way to test whether it works properly in a service 
implemented without the Wrapper, but I assume the problem is inherent to 
running a GUI app as a service. There seems to be something about the 
Windows service environment that is disabling drag and drop.

I was hoping that some setting in the Wrapper might solve the problem, 
though a search of the documentation and the mail archives did not 
reveal any such thing. It would also be nice to know if anyone else is 
able to implement Java drag and drop in a Wrapper-implemented service. 
Also, shouldn't the setting for enabling a service to interact with the 
desktop (wrapper.ntservice.interactive=true) cover this problem? If so, 
is there some other consideration I should be aware of regarding that 
setting? I did verify in the Windows service manager window that the 
interactive setting was enabled.

I wonder if it could be related to me running the service as the local 
system account, while trying to do the drag and drop while logged in as 
my personal account. I changed the setting in the Windows Service 
Manager to run the app as my personal account. I restarted the service, 
and it looked normal in the service manager, but the GUI never showed 
up. Then I tried the same thing by changing the wrapper.conf file to run 
the service as my personal account

wrapper.ntservice.interactive=false
wrapper.ntservice.account=.\Mark
wrapper.ntservice.password=myPassword

And it behaved the same way. Looked as expected in the Service Manager 
window, but the GUI never showed up.
