OS: Windows Server 2003 - 32 Bit
AS: JBoss 3.2
JDK: 1.4
JBoss here runs as a windows service.
Now we are planning to migrate to Windows Server 2003 64 bit.
I have tried to run same Jboss with same JDk from console on 64 bit OS and everything was smooth. But when I tried to create windows service of JBoss it did not start and gave error message "The JBoss service on local computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the performance and alert logs."
When I looked into the event logs I found "Load libraray function failed as it is not a valid Win 32 application."
P.S. I have used 64 bit JavaService to create windows service of JBoss.
Any one having any idea what I am missing...kindly suggest.
If you are using a 64-bit JavaService then you will need to use a 64-bit JVM. My understanding from JavaService is that it directly loads the jvm.dll. And a 64-bit executable cannot load a 32-bit DLL.
However, you should be able to use the 32-bit JavaService (with the 32-bit JVM) - there is no rule that services must be the 64-bit.
I have tried 32 bit Java Service with 32 bit JVM, service was created successfully but when I tried to start, it gave me error message like I mentioned earler in this post.
Can any one suggest some documentation about Java Service so that I can get some idea what is happening behind the scene.
I am also facing problem in installing the JBoss 5.1 Application Server as a Windows Service on Windows 2008 Server (64 bit). I had a look at JavaService website but it was written that it doesn't work for 64 bit platform. (May be I've read some old post) Till now I've tried several things apart from JavaService to do this. Note that I am using 64 bit JDK 1.6.
Can you please help me with the process for installing the JBoss 5.1 AS as a Windows service on 64 bit?
Why not use the service.bat file provided with JBoss AS? It works with 32-bit and 64-bit systems. See the jboss_home/bin/readme-service.txt file for details.
By the way, all you need to run Tanuki Java Service Wrapper on a 64-bit system is a 32-bit JVM. When configuring the wrapper, reference the 32-bit JVM.

Hi Peter,
I've already tried service.bat (in the bin folder of JBoss 6) to install the JBoss as a Windows service. When for the first time I tried to use it, the following message was shown to me:
C:\servers\jboss-5.1.0\bin>service.bat install
Failed installing JBAS50SVC
Access is denied.
Service JBoss Application Server 5.1 installed
Note that "Failed installing JBAS50SVC Access is denied" is shown in addition to "Service JBoss Application Server 5.0 installed". When I looked at the list of services installed on Windows 2008 server after running the above command, I could not find any service named JBAS50SVC.
I again tried to issue the above command at the command prompt of Windows and now the following appeared:
C:\servers\jboss-5.1.0\bin>service install
Service JBoss Application Server 5.1 installed
However, irrespective of the above second try, I can't find any JBoss service installed on the server.
As an aside I've one more question: We develop our web-application on a 32 bit platform. Suppose if we deploy the WAR generated using a 32 bit JDK to an App server which uses 64 bit JVM, then will it have any issues? (I know that we can run ant script on the 64 bit machine as well which has a 64 bit JDK installed)
Regarding the "access is denied" error, you must open a command prompt as administrator to do what you are trying. And no, being logged in with an admin account is not sufficient. Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.
Suppose if we deploy the WAR generated using a 32 bit JDK to an App server which uses 64 bit JVM, then will it have any issues?
Java is machine independent - Java apps will run on any machine with a JVM regardless of the bitness of the machine (our mainframes as work run JBoss AS in a 48-bit JVM without any changes to JBoss AS or the apps deployed to it).

Thanks Peter, running Command Prompt as Administrator worked. Best Regards,

Hi Peter,
Thanks again for your help on installing the JBoss as Windows service.
However, now I am facing another error: When I start the Windows service (for JBoss AS) then it throws the following exception when I try to login to my application named XCMS (Note: I've used JAAS based security for my web application and the database for authentication and authorization):
19:11:05,808 ERROR [[/XCMS]] Exception sending request initialized lifecycle event to listener instance of class com.listener.XCMSServletRequestListener
19:11:27,761 ERROR [CoyoteAdapter] An exception or error occurred in the container during the request processing
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space
Important Note: No such exception occurs when I start the JBoss AS through run.bat. Everything works fine and I am able to login to the application and use the application.The XCMSServletRequestListener implements the interface java.servlet.ServletRequestListener, and it has been defined as follows in the web.xml:
<listener>
<description>ServletRequestListener for Setting User Information in Session</description>
<display-name>XCMSServletRequestListener</display-name>
<listener-class>com.listener.XCMSServletRequestListener</listener-class>
</listener>
I have no idea why the OutOfMemoryError is coming only with JBoss Windows Service and not with run.bat (JBoss AS).
Request you to help me out.
