Hi,
Could anybody tell me how to convert and run a Java application as Windows service(Windows 2000 or xp)? I know there are commerical products out there to handle this but I was wondering if there is a standard procedure for that.
Thanks,
Arsalan

You could use JNI to write a wrapper for your application, and have that wrapper run as a service. I believe that should have the same effect.

There are several libraries available to do exactly that easily. http://www.google.com/search?q?java+nt+service should give you plenty resources on the topic

Thanks for the responses. I will search google some more and will try JNI if I have to.

It's been a year, but I once found a few free tools for doing this.

A previous coworker of mine found this one:

We use it for one of our applications and it has worked just fine.
