Problem with WebLgoic running as a Windows Service

Question

If you know the answer, plase send me an email at [email protected]
I'm running a weblogic startup class that starts a Thread. I need to
run a batch program that should be running as long as WebLogic is
running (to process new orders).
It works fine when I run WebLogic (5.1 SP8) from a script, but causes
problem when I'm running it as a Windows Service. It calls the
startup class, however, the startup class never spawns the Thread
class.
Following is excerpts from different components:
=============================================================
*** weblogic.properties ***
weblogic.system.startupClass.pdfCreatorStart=WebLogicStartupPdfCreator
*** WebLogicStartupPdfCreator.java ***
public class WebLogicStartupPdfCreator implements T3StartupDef {
public String startup(String name, Hashtable args) throws
Exception {
Thread t = new ProductionPdfBatchRunner();
t.start();
return "success";
*** ProductionPdfBatchRunner.java ***
public class ProductionPdfBatchRunner extends Thread {
public void run() {
try {
//work being done here
this.sleep(30000);
catch (InterruptedException ie) {               
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
=============================================================
Thanks for any help

Hi.
You can add extra path information by using the -extrapath option in your
installNTservice.cmd script.

When I installed a weblogic server as a windows service using installNTservice.cmd,
I found that the system path was not appended to the java.library.path. Here is
the detail:
step 1: went to ...\config\mydomain, run installNTservice.cmd, and the weblogic
server "myServer" was installed as a NT service.
step 2: went to Control Panel -> administrative tools -> services and started
up the service "myserver".
step 3: went to ...\config\mydomain\logs, open Weblogic.log and found that:
java.library.path = C:\bea\wlserver6.0\bin;.;C:\WINNT\System32;C:\WINNT
usually java.library.path should be the above paths plus the system path(which
can be changed in control panel -> system ->advanced -> environment variables
Does any one know why?--
