Hello Jai, actually I am already using JBoss 5.1 as a service. I am using IZ installer to install my application. When I install application service get started. But after restarting my machine I need to start it by going to "run->services.msc". In services it shows startup type as Manual. I want it as Automatic. So I am searching solution for it.

If you are an admin, then you can set the service as "Automatic" after it has been installed. So if there are any restarts after that, the service will be started automatically.

Ohh..means you want to say that after installing JBoss 5.1 as a service I need to go in services.msc and make it as Automatic. So it is not possible to set JBoss service as Automatic inside some jboss file, is it?

Yes.

From what I know, as far as JBoss Native is concerned, no it's not possible to mark it automatic while creating the service. I remember there was a forum thread where this was discussed and I think that was the conclusion. Can't find that thread now.

Hey Jai, I found the solution.
I just edited service.bat file - cmdInstall command.
Previously it was -
:cmdInstall
jbosssvc.exe -imwdc %SVCNAME%
I have updated it to -
:cmdInstall
jbosssvc.exe -iwdc %SVCNAME%

m from "-imwdc" was making the service as manual. I removed this m, and now service type is Automatic

Thanks for posting it here, I wasn't aware of that option.
