Connection Manager As Windows Service

Would it be possible to add the ability to register the Connection Manager software as a Windows Service?

    Hey Caleb,

     

    Right now we are not using any tool to create installers or run CMs as a service. We may include them in a future release. Meanwhile you can check out the Java Service Wrapper.

    Re: Connection Manager As Windows Service

    Anyone have a working wrapper.conf file to get this set up? I''ve been struggling with it for the last hour and can''t seem to figure out the main class of the ConnectionManager that should be getting loaded. I''m getting messages similar to this:

     

    jvm 1    | WrapperSimpleApp: Unable to locate the class org.jivesoftware.wildfire.ConnectionManager: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jivesoftware.wildfire.ConnectionManager

     

    The pertinent area of the config looks like this:

     

    wrapper.java.command=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_08\bin\java.exe

    wrapper.java.mainclass=org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.WrapperSimpleApp

    wrapper.app.parameter.1=org.jivesoftware.wildfire.ConnectionManager

    wrapper.java.classpath.1=../lib/wrapper.jar

    wrapper.java.classpath.2=../lib/startup.jar

    wrapper.java.classpath.3=../lib/cmanager.jar

     

    Regards,

    Matt

      Hey Matt,

       

      The starting class is

      org.jivesoftware.multiplexer.starter.ServerStarter. You can check how

      bin/cmanager.bat and lib/startup.jar work. The startup.jar file includes

      a MANIFEST file that indicates Java the class to use to start up the

      application.

       

      Regards,

        Re: Connection Manager As Windows Service

        Thanks again, Gato -- huge help!

         

        In case it helps anyone out, here is the process which I took to get this working:

         

        1. Download the latest Windows binary release of the Java Service Wrapper from http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/introduction.html

        2. Extract the files to a temporary location.

        3. Copy the following files to the ?connection_manager\bin? directory:

             InstallTestWrapper-NT.bat

             TestWrapper.bat

             UninstallTestWrapper-NT.bat

             Wrapper.exe

        4. Rename all instances of ?TestWrapper? to ?Cmanager? (i.e. Cmanager.bat)

        5. Copy the following files to the ?connection_manager\lib? directory:

             wrapper.jar

             wrapper.dll

        6. Create the text file ?connection_manager\conf\wrapper.conf?. I filled in mine as follows, you will probably want to change your path to java.exe:

         

        wrapper.java.command=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_08\bin\java.exe

        wrapper.java.mainclass=org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.WrapperSimpleApp

        wrapper.app.parameter.1=org.jivesoftware.multiplexer.starter.ServerStarter

        wrapper.java.classpath.1=../lib/wrapper.jar

        wrapper.java.classpath.2=../lib/startup.jar

        wrapper.java.classpath.3=../lib/cmanager.jar

        wrapper.java.library.path.1=../lib

        1. Initial Java Heap Size (in MB)

        #wrapper.java.initmemory=3

        1. Maximum Java Heap Size (in MB)

        #wrapper.java.maxmemory=64

        wrapper.console.format=PM

        wrapper.console.loglevel=INFO

        wrapper.logfile=../wrapper.log

        wrapper.logfile.format=LPTM

        wrapper.logfile.loglevel=INFO

        wrapper.logfile.maxsize=0

        wrapper.logfile.maxfiles=0

        wrapper.syslog.loglevel=NONE

        wrapper.console.title=Wildfire Connection Manager

        wrapper.ntservice.name=WildfireCM

        wrapper.ntservice.displayname=Wildfire Connection Manager

        wrapper.ntservice.description=Wildfire Connection Manager

        wrapper.ntservice.dependency.1=

        wrapper.ntservice.starttype=AUTO_START

        wrapper.ntservice.interactive=false

         

        7. Run ?connection_manager\bin\InstallCmanager-NT.bat?. You should now be able to run ?net start WildfireCM? to start the service. WildfireCM is the name of the service as defined above in wrapper.conf.

         

         

        Regards,

        Matt

    Re: Connection Manager As Windows Service

    This worked great for me, right up to the point when I tried to fire up the service. I get an error: 1067 with no real details. I am running in a Windows 2K3 enviroment.

      Re: Connection Manager As Windows Service

      I think that means you are going to want to double-check the line:

       

      wrapper.java.command=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_08\bin\java.exe

       

      to ensure that it points at whatever version of Java you are running. Probably a point difference in the version.

       

      Regards,

      Matt
