Look into the sc.exe command to see if there are command line arguments for that, if you are planning on modifying the source code of GlassFishSvc.jar. Or you could configure service properties from the services window.

Is it possible to create the service to run as an account other than local system?

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the useful utility. I have installed glassfish in Windows 2003 server. When I install glassfish in C: it works well, but when I install it in E: drive (same machine), the service doesn't want to start. Event viewer shows the following.

-----------------------------------------
he description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( appservService ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: "E:\GlassFishESBv22\glassfish\bin\asadmin.bat" start-domain --user admin --passwordfile "E:\GlassFishESBv22\glassfish\password.txt"
----------------------------------

Have you experienced this error in the past?

Regards
Siva

You right, probably I just forgot to run GlassFishSvc.jar tool with administrator rights (I run this tool as Administrator, but I didn't open console with 'Run as administrator').

I will try to use it again next time I will install glassfish, but for now I just used sc.exe to create windows service.

thanks

That is strange because I just used it on a Windows 2008 server the other day (for the first time) and it worked. Make sure you put GlassFishSvc.jar in the GlassFish root directory (C:\glassfish\ in your case?). Make sure you cd\glassfish before running the tool. Also make sure you have rights to create a Windows service (Administrators only?).

Someone mentioned that this tool doesn't work for GlassFish V3, but also might no longer be needed for V3.

Hi, it looks like it doesn't work under windows 2008 server :-(

output:
glassfishsvc v1.0 (Aug 19 2007)

Service name : GlassfishAppServer
Glassfish installation path : C:\glassfish
Glassfish domain : domain1
Glassfish admin username : admin

Installing service...
Done.
but it does not create service :-(

Any ideas

You have "only glassfish jar", what does that mean? Are you using GlassFish V3? The tool I write is designed for GlassFish V2. If you are using V3, it comes with built-in support for creating Windows services:

@Gavin: Thank you, I'm glad you find it useful. In the services window, right click the GlassFish service and select properties. Examine the asadmin command it runs. Figure out how to make it work from the command prompt (asadmin start-domain ...) then let me know if there is a bug when building the startup command for Windows services. You can also look at the source code linked to from this blog. It is a very tiny single class program.

Thanks for a great app Ryan. I do have one issue though, have first service (domain1 for example) installed and working, however, even when using -m domain2 for a second domain (required for different IP) it still defaults the install to domain1. Any ideas?

The V2 procedure is not supported in V3 and will not work.

Here is a blog that describes how to create a service in V3.
