Hello all

I've set up ActiveMQ to run as a Windows Service using Java Service Wrapper.
I thought I'd share the wrapper configuration here to make it easier for
others that want to do the same.

You can find out more about Java Service Wrapper here:

http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/introduction.html

It can run Java applications as Windows Services and UNIX daemons (I haven't
tried the latter yet).

I followed Method 1 on the Integration Methods page:

http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/integrate.html
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/integrate-simple-win.html
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/integrate-simple-nix.html

Follow these instructions to put the bits of JSW in the right places in the
ActiveMQ tree.

Put the stuff at the end of this message in ./conf/wrapper.conf in your
ActiveMQ tree (watch out for line breaks). Note that we only put run.jar and
wrapper.jar in the classpath. ActiveMQ's org.apache.activemq.console.Main
class has a addExtensionDirectory method that takes care of the rest.

That's it. Use the JSW batch files to register your service.

Cheers,

Albert

P.S. I'd like to put this on the wiki, but I ran into the following error
from Confluence:
