an endless loop?
if the main thread is not terminating, the vm will neither. furthermore a seperate watchdog thread might monitor your business-process(es) and restart them if required.
...not so advanced...

What kind of application is this? A desktop app will not terminate automatically as long as there are open windows.
It's a Servichost where i can host different User Seervices. SO want to keep the host alive for ever.

I'm not sure what ServiceHost or UserService mean to you. "server" is nicely defined as a process that waits for connections and/or requests from clients. A server usually runs in some kind of loop. Does your server look something like:
If so, it should loop until you set the "running flag" to false somehow. Does that sound like it meets your needs? [ April 05, 2006: Message edited by: Stan James ]
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

Not exactly... It's a kind of Service host where u can host defferent Services like - say one Mailing Service , Data gathering Service etc.
but if i want to stop the Host i would say [ctrl+c] AS I STOP Jboss app-server . The catch is how can i sense that the user has pressed in the Java code.
The Service Host wil run from the DOS command prompt.

I'm not answering the Ctrl-C question partly because I don't know but mostly because I wouldn't encourage users to do that if I could help it, which explains why I never bothered to figure it out.
