[Wrapper-user] JWS and Geronimo

[Mehul N. S. <meh...@gm...>]

'allo,

      I came across JWS a couple of days ago because I was looking for a way to 
start up Apache Geronimo as a service on Windows XP Pro.  It took me a couple 
of days to figure out the wrapper.conf that I had come across on Google, and 
using the documentation on the JWS website, have managed to get things to the 
point where I can start Geronimo for the console.

      Trying to start it as a service though does not seem to be working.  It 
just seems to stop unexpectedly.  I am not sure if it is JWS, or Geronimo or 
WinXP.  I am attaching my conf file for wrapper (geronimo.conf), and can 
provide logs if needed.

       Here is what I do to start the service:


          wrapper.exe -t ..\conf\geronimo.conf

       which does tell me that it started successfully.  Then when I do a query

          wrapper.exe -q ..\conf\geronimo.conf

       it shows that the service is not running.   Doing a "net start" to see 
what services are running also does not show the service as running.  Geronimo 
takes a little while to start up, so I have already set the time-out delay 
settings that I gathered from the documentation.  Doesn't seem to be related to 
that.  Anyway to get information as to what is happening when the service is 
starting ?


cheers,

         mehul

Mehul,
    The best place to look for the cause is your wrapper.log file.  In 
most cases, the
problem is pretty obvious.  I am not able to make many guesses without 
seeing your
geronimo.conf file. (It wasn't attached).

    If the application is working correctly in console mode, but failing 
as a service, the
cause is most likely an environment problem.  The most common causes are 
due to
differences in the PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables.  When running
as a console, you will be running as the user you are logged in as.  
When running as
a service however, you will be running as the SYSTEM user by default.

    If you set wrapper.debug=true in your conf file, you will get even 
more detailed info
in your wrapper.log file.

Cheers,
Leif

Leif,

        Sorry about that.  I've attached my wrapper-geronimo.conf file and am 
also including my wrapper-geronimo.log file with the wrapper.debug=true 
property set.  The wrapper-geronimo.log file has a 'wrapper -t' followed by a 
'wrapper -q' followed by a 'wrapper -c'.  Despite having 
wrapper.logfile.loglevel=DEBUG, I did not get any DEBUG information when I was 
starting the service using 'wrapper -t'.

        How do I set environment variables for the service ?  I don't think I 
saw anything in the documentation about a property to do that.



cheers,

      mehul

Leif,

     I was able to get it started by increasing the wrapper.startup.timeout and 
wrapper.startup.delay.service to both be 300.  This seems to have solved the 
problem as far as I can tell.  That along with a bunch of permission type problems.



cheers,
