Running a Runnable Jar File on Server

[Maya sekar]

Hi,
I need to run my runnable Jar file on a Web Server. Once the Server is started, the main class should be called. How do I do that?

Many Thanks
Have a nice day

How can you run a jar file on a web server. jar file is just a java archive containing object code. is it like that you have a war file which wants to call jar application. please be more clear?

Hi Gurpreet,

Thank you for your response. I need a jar file packed along with my war file.... a jar that has a main class i.e a runnable jar file.. once the server is started, the main class needs to load and run...

Many thanks...
Have a nice day

you can write a shell script if you are using linux or you can write batch file if you have windows system. this script can start your jar file whenever the server is started.

Hi Gurpreet ,

Thank you for the response. I did think of that. But you see I need it to be independent of the Operating System. So neither a shell script nor a windows scheduler is an option....

thanks again,
Have a nice day
