Running Jetty 7 as Windows Service

Question

Did Jetty 7 drop support to run as a service using Java Service Wrapper? What options do I have now?

Answer 1

I had a problema running @crowne's code for install the service (I'm running Jetty 8.1.0). Just needed to change -StartMode=Java --StopMode=Java to -StartMode=jvm --StopMode=jvm and remove ++JvmOptions=-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled.

After that I created a create_jetty_service.bat at the jetty/bin folder and run the file from there:

set jetty_home = C:\java\jetty\jetty-hightide-8.1.0.v20120127

JettyService //IS//JettyService --DisplayName="Jetty Service" ^
--Install=%jetty_home%\bin\JettyService.exe ^
--LogPath=%jetty_home%\logs ^
--LogLevel=Debug --StdOutput=auto --StdError=auto --StartMode=jvm --StopMode=jvm --Jvm=auto ^
++JvmOptions=-Djetty.home=%jetty_home% ^
++JvmOptions=-DSTOP.PORT=8087 ^
++JvmOptions=-DSTOP.KEY=downB0y ^
++JvmOptions=-Djetty.logs=%jetty_home%\logs ^
++JvmOptions=-Dorg.eclipse.jetty.util.log.SOURCE=true ^
++JvmOptions=-XX:MaxPermSize=256M ^
++JvmOptions=-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled ^
--Classpath=%jetty_home%\start.jar ^
--StartClass=org.eclipse.jetty.start.Main ^
++StartParams=OPTIONS=All ^
++StartParams=%jetty_home%\etc\jetty.xml ^
++StartParams=%jetty_home%\etc\jetty-deploy.xml ^
++StartParams=%jetty_home%\etc\jetty-webapps.xml ^
++StartParams=%jetty_home%\etc\jetty-contexts.xml ^
++StartParams=%jetty_home%\etc\jetty-testrealm.xml ^
--StopClass=org.eclipse.jetty.start.Main ++StopParams=--stop

Remember to run cmd.exe as administrator to the command take effect.
