Wrapping JAR as NT Service without access to target systems
2019 Community Moderator ElectionHow to create a windows service from java appRun Java application as a serviceIs there such a thing as a 64-bit .dll for the YAJSW Java service wrapper?Can't execute jar- file: “no main manifest attribute”Installing srvany.exe to run a jar file as a service using InstallShield (without editing the registry)Runnable JAR exe wrapper and JRE installer if not existJava Service Wrapper System tray icon issueInstalling jar file via nssmJava application as windows service without using wrapperunable to start windows service with YAJSW but net start command works
I have a Java application packaged as runnable JAR which I need to install on end users Windows machines.
The application must be resilient and unobtrusive, I could only provide a link for the users, and they would expect to download and install it(the Windows way, like with NSIS). After installation it should run automatically as Windows Service, which must be autoconfigured to restart on failure.
I investigated these wrapper frameworks:
Yet Another Java Service Wrapper(YAJSW) - Tried it, but it seems to require access to the target systems in order to configure and install the service(run my JAR and check its PID, then run genConfig.bat, then modify the config script and finally install as service).
Tanuki's Java Service Wrapper(JSW) - Similar to YAJSW?
Apache Commons Daemon - Haven't tried it
Launch4j - Used by YAJSW "for generating wrapper.exe on windows"?
Non-Sucking Service Manager(NSSM) - Just found this one
Does any one of them support my scenario, or could be integrated with install system to complete it?
If there is no way to achieve this, I could fallback to these options:
- Rewrite the application with .NET or C(Windows API) which have native integration with the services facility.
- Provide the runnable JAR for download and tell the users to put it in the Startup folder(similar effect).
What would you suggest?

What do you mean by "without access to target systems"? How can you install and configure a Windows service without running some kind of setup on your target system?

@vanje When I tried YAJSW's basic example, it required to perform configuration on the target system(run my JAR and check its PID, then run genConfig.bat, then modify the config script and finally install as service). I would need to automate these steps and wrap them in installation executable.

With Apache Commons Daemon you only have to call prunsrv.exe with the appropriate parameters to install or remove a Windows service. It should be easy to integrate this in your setup routine. As an example you can look at the Jetty documentation. There is a batch file to install Jetty as a Windows service.
