Run Java App as a Windows Service

Hi,
Is there an easy way (without 3rd party software) to run a Java app as a service in windows?
Sorry if this isn't the right forum to post to...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Nope there isn't. And there also isn't a reason not to use 3rd party software as there is an excellent open source API to do this job: Java Service Wrapper.

What is needed as a minimum to run Java apps?

Hello,
I'm running Windows 2000 Pro on a home computer and want to conserve disk space. There seem to be a lot of duplicate files in Java directories on my system. I only want to be able to run Java apps - no development or deployment. What is the minimum installation required to just run apps?
I currently have J2SE Runtime Environment installed.
Thanks in advance,
Kudzuken

I could get all technical and fancy on you, tell you about jre's that can run on palm pilots and such, but nevermind that stuff.
The answer is that the java 2 runtime environment is all you need
Be careful about moving and deleting files tho

How to run Java App in Jar file

I can run Java App jar-ed into 1 jar file with java -jar App.jar
But sometimes I need to jar only the app and bind the other classes from different place. So I tried to use:
java -classpath c:\utils.jar -jar App2.jar
where classes in App2.jar link to utils.jar. I just can't make it work. Any idea/help.
thanks

hi HasanOen
u need to edit the manifest file in yr JAR file u can do this by using the following cammand or by making the batch file but make sure all the files are in same folder.
first of all u need to make a text file like below
/////////// first file name: "THIS.txt" /////////
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Created-By: java // whatever here
Main-Class: PUT YOUR MAIN CLASS NAME HERE (like MAIN)
//////////////////// BATCH FILE "RUN.bat" //////////////
jar cmf This.txt App2.jar MANIFEST.mf com
com is the folder where your all the class file are.
now double click the run.bat file. this will edit yr manifest file.
hope this should work for u
Note : Make sure yr jar file, txt file, bat file, and yr classes folder is in the same folder(I mean at same level)

Running Java app when java not installed

I need to run java apps on a server I don't control and the admin will not install java. :(
Tried a few things to run java without installation, but get error that a java registry item can not be found. "Error opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'" Might be that without control of the registry, there's no way to run the java engine, but curious if there's a way to get it to run... I'm gonna play around with it, but figured if someone out there knows it's not possible, they could save me time by letting me know.
Thanks!

Depends on what you want to run. To run an applet on the computer requires that the JRE be installed, as the applet needs the Java Plug-in and Registry keys that the JRE install includes. To run a Java program from the command line needs a copy of the JRE, but it does not need to be "installed" by the Java installer. Then the command "java ... classname" needs to include the full path to the java executable that the JRE contains.
There might be websites that allow you to run certain kinds of Java programs on the website. I don't know if they still wxist. I also doubt that they'll run applets.

Form become white after running java app. under windows XP

Hi,

does anyone know this problem and how to fix it?
Thanks Guy.

the problem is that when i run this app. under windows XP, the screen ( the application created in "Form Base") become white, like the program is stuck.
there is no error, it's seems to be an invalidate problem, but i try to out invalidate everywhere but it is still doen't fix this problem.
the app. doesnot stuck, it is just looks like that!!!!!

There is a free wrapper tool called JavaService I dont remember from where I downloaded it. Just do a goole search for "JavaService"

Run Java App in a CD

Hi. I want to develop a java application that can be run from a CD... No installation required. The idea is to distribute an application that users will be able to use by just running the java app in a CD. Can this be done? Can this java app in CD run on windows, linux, and mac?
Please help... I am new to java and some sample codes or procedures/steps will be a big help.
Thanks!

No the dbf route doesn't have SQL (unless you're willing to pay for propitiatory database drivers), but you read it in row by row and then pull out the columns you want. You could create several dbf files on the CD which would be like different select statements. I only mention this because .dbf is probably easier than an embedded database. Take a look at the API. (I highly suggest going this route if possible it will simply development) .dbf files are just a spec, so they would work on linux.

If you feel you really need to be able to create select statements take a look at :

Application runs but not as a Windows service oracore

I have a weird problem and I was hoping somebody might be able to help me. I have an application that we developed that uses an Oracle database. The application can be run in user mode(double clicking on the file) or as a Windows service. We have always used the Oracle Database client to connect to the Database in user mode and it has worked. Using the same configuration we were able to run our application as a service and it has always worked. The problem now is that if we use a newer Oracle Client (>= 10.2) it will not work as a service. When I say it doesn't work I mean that the application never starts and the Windows Event Viewer log states an APPCRASH in oracore10.dll or oracore11.dll.
It doesn't seem to matter which database we use, 10G, 11G, because if we use the 10.1 version of the Oracle Database Client to connect to these databases it works. However if we use any client>=10.2 the application crashes.
Any suggestions?
Edited by: 945875 on Jul 11, 2012 1:45 PM

So I stopped any Oracle windows services that were running, deleted the only oracle directory on the machine, and reinstalled 11.2 client. The same results occur, I can connect to and start my application in user mode but not as a service. I checked the version# of OCI.dll, 1 instance of it on the machine, and it does state that it is version 11.2.0.1. The setup I have is:
Machine 1: Server 2008 R2
Oracle 11g database
Oracle 11g client
my application
Machine 2: Windows 7 64-bit
Oracle 11g client
my application
I get the exact same results if I try to run my application on the same machine as the database (machine 1) or across the network (machine 2).
I've setup the connection using Oracle Client's Net Configuration Assistant, added the Local Net Service Name Configuration, and am using TCP. At the end of the Local Net Service Name Configuration I get "Success" when talking to the database.
Thank you for any help you might be able to provide.

Running Weblogic managed server as Windows service

Hi,
i'm using Weblogic 6.0 SP2 and i'm trying to run Managed Server as windows
service (i'm using Win2k). I use a pretty long CLASSPATH in order to run my
WebApplication and it looks like beasvc.exe truncates my CLASSPATH - that
way my application wouldn't work.
Is there any workaround to my problem ?
Thanks alot for any help,
Bybye.

Windows has a command line limitation of 2K.
Since you invoke beasvc.exe from command line, it will obviously get's
truncated
1)
One work around will be to set the registry manually after invoking
the beasvc.exe
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
<service-name>\Parameters
Alter cmdLine parameter to include everything. After this if you start
the service, it should work.
2)
Put all the classpath in a file called C:/temp/foo.tmp (since classpath is
long)
Invoke beasvc.exe with cmdLine set as
-cmdLine:... -classpath "@C:/temp/foo.tmp ...
Since jvm pulls the classpath from the file, this should also solve your
problem.
Sun VM's support this feature as of 1.2 and above.

Running jave apps in web browser

Hi,
I'm (very obviously) new to java.
Longer term I'm looking to develop a distributed application using java. I recently saw a java app that ran in a clients web browser. I assumed that the browser was using java applets, it wasn't. The web page I was looking at clearly had functionality on it that was well beyond that which could be produced by an html page.
I was told by the person showing me the web page that when the user hit the URL the system would download and install "jar" files if they weren't already installed and the application would run.
The page had on it a table (datagrid) which could be sorted by clicking on any of the table headings.
Being new to java I'm unsure what this technology is, if it is not an applet, and how it works. Is anyone out there able to give me a brief high level description of what particular part of the java technology this is (does it require J2SE or J2EE).
Many thanks...

1) The "grid" is a JTable component, which is available in applets, providing the plug-in/JRE is of a more recent (1.2+) vintage.
2) Applets are not HTML - they're little Java programs, which means they can use Swing, which is a much richer UI environment than any HTML page (including DHTML). See #1
3) Applets are embedded in HTML pages, so they kinda look like they're part of the page, just like using a TABLE tag.
4) Current JRE/plug-ins cache the applet JAR files, so it's easier to start next time you run across that page.
5) Web Start is another distribution option, wherein the JRE/plug-in is used to retrieve and update "fat" (stand-alone) applications via a web site, but the browser is not required to run the application. The only time the browser is involved is on the initial download of the application.
6) J2SE downloads include Web Start.
Methinks you'd be better off studying and understanding the Java technologies better before you decide you're going to use it...

How do I run java app when user calls a number?

Hi all
Is it possible to run a java app everytime a user calls a number? It has to run before the call is placed. The app will do its job and then place the call using PlatformRequest().
Thanks

Hi,
I believe in general this is not possible.
J2ME was designed in such a way that J2ME apps don't have permission to interrupt the normal functions of the phone (making/receiving calls, sending/receiving SMS).

Run java app on N9

How do I run a java app [mobile banking app] on my N9 ?
Frankly , I truly regret buying N9. It doesn't have whatsapp, viber, java support,low single retention etc. I am trying to live with it till I can palm it off to my enemy.

It doesn't look very promising according to this link: http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=4012
