JavaServiceWrapper is a useful library that allows you to expose a java application as a windows Service. Note: 64bit install of JavaServiceWrapper is not free, you got pay ~75 per server.

JavaServiceWrapper can be monitored via JMX. The following code shows how to expose it through Spring configuration.

<bean id="wrapperManager" class="org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.jmx.WrapperManager" />
 
<bean id="exporter" class="org.springframework.jmx.export.MBeanExporter">
     <property name="beans">
          <map>
               <entry key="JavaServiceWrapper:service=WrapperManager" value-ref="wrapperManager" />
          </map>
     </property>
</bean>

I moved to a DefaultMessageListenerContainer.java and most of my problems were solved. Here’s a sample code:

This blog is a simple collection of resolutions to problems I come across in everyday development. This blog is a just a small way to repay the great debt I owe to all the anonymous coders who have posted solutions across forums, mailing lists, blogs, websites and more.

Java, Python, SQL and related technologies are the focus.
