Running Weblogic managed server as Windows service

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.
