Instructions are located at [Apache Geronimo Quickstart|http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxDOC22/Quick+start+-+Apache+Geronimo+for+the+impatient]. Basically extract the zip file to a directory of your convenience. Throughout the rest of the article this directory will be referred to as *<geronimo_home>*.-

            In addition, the following files will also be created as part of this configuration process. 

            Create the following files under their specified directories according to the instructions in the [#Configuring the Wrappe] section. You can also download the files directly and placed them at the given locations.

            h2. Configuring the Wrapper 

            The Java Service Wrapper comes with a sample configuration file [^wrapper.conf] pre-configured to run a test script also provided, this file located in the *<jsw_home>\conf* directory. In this section we provide a Geronimo specific wrapper.conf file for your convenience. 

            The Java Service Wrapper has a sample configuration file [^wrapper.conf], which is pre-configured to run a test script. This file is located in the *<jsw_home>/conf* directory. In this section we provide a Geronimo specific wrapper.conf file for your convenience. 

            As we are trying to keep all the wrapper files within Geronimo's directory structure, create the configuration file as illustrated in the following example and place it in the *<geronimo_home>/var/config/wrapper.conf* directory. 

            Create the configuration file as illustrated in the following example and place it in the *<geronimo_home>/var/config/wrapper.conf* directory. In this way we can keep all the wrapper files within Geronimo's directory structure. 

            {noformat:borderStyle=solid|title=wrapper.conf} 
# Location of java.exe (in Windows) 

            ...

            wrapper.ntservice.interactive=false 
{noformat} 

            where 
* replace <geronimo_home> and <java_home> with the appropriate settings for your environment. 

            This service wrapper allows three different methods of integration depending on, among other things, whether you use the same class or not to start and stop the server. 

For Geronimo we will use the simplest method of integration as the server can shutdown cleanly when _System.exit()_ is called. For this integration the wrapper's mainclass is set to {{{*}WrapperSimpleApp{*}}} and the {{{*}org.apache.geronimo.cli.daemon.DaemonCLI{*}}} class is specified as the main class to start the server. Right now, no extra parameters are passed to start the server but they can be specified by adding additional {{{*}wrapper.app.parameter{*}}} values. The wrapper will stop the server by calling _System.exit()_. 

            As we mentioned before, for this example we are trying to locate all the wrapper related files within the Geronimo directory structure. As you can see in the wrapper.conf shown above, most of the directory references are relative to Geronimo's installation directory. You will only have to replace <geronimo_home> and <java_home> with the appropriate settings for your environment. 

            Next we will create a batch file to run the service from the command line without the need of actually installing the service. This is particularly helpful when testing and debugging the configuration. Create the {{{*}g_service.bat{*}}} batch file in the *<geronimo_home>/bin* directory and copy the content of the following example. 

            {noformat:borderStyle=solid|title=g_service.bat} 
@echo off 

            ...

            pause 
{noformat} 

            This file is a modified version from the one provided by the wrapper as a sample, it has been edited to specify the location of the {{{*}wrapper.conf{*}}} file relative to Geronimo's *var/config* directory. 

You can now run Geronimo as a service from a command line, simply run the following command: 

            ...

        Running Geronimo as a Linux service  Running Geronimo as a service  

This article will show you how to configure Apache Geronimo server to run as a Microsoft Windows service. Currently, there are two options for running the server as a Windows service: using Apache Commons Daemon or using Java Service Wrapper.

Apache Commons Daemon

Software Prerequisites

Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0+. For example, Version 2.0 is available for download at the following URL:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en

Installing Apache Commons Daemon

To set up Apache Geronimo server to run as a Microsoft Windows service using Apache Commons Daemon you will need to install the procrun plugin. Use the Administrative Console or deployer tool to install the plugin from the plugins repository. For example, on server 2.2, choose the http://geronimo.apache.org/plugins/geronimo-2.2/ repository and search for plugin named "Windows Service Wrapper".

Using Apache Commons Daemon

Once the plugin is installed you can install Apache Geronimo server as a Windows service by running the following command:

<geronimo_home>\bin\service_pr.bat install

For example:

D:\geronimo-tomcat6-javaee5-2.2\bin>service_pr.bat install
The service "geronimosrv" has been installed.

This will create a Geronimo service for the server with the name "geronimosrv" with default parameters. You can start/stop the Geronimo service using Windows' Services tool or by using <geronimo_home>\bin\geronimosrvw.exe tool. 
By default the Geronimo service is be configured with "manual" startup type. Use Windows' Services tool or geronimosrvw.exe command to configure it to "automatic" if needed.

Default admin account "system" with password "manager" is used to shut down the service. Change this setting with the geronimosrvw.exe tool (in the "Shutdown" tab) if the default admin account is changed.

JAVA_OPTS and GERONIMO_OPTS environment variables are NOT read by the service_pr.bat script. If you need to add any options that shall be used to start/stop the service, you can use the geronimosrvw.exe tool to add them to the command line arguments in the "Startup" and/or "Shutdown" tab. You can also use the geronimosrv.exe command to do that.

For more help on how to use the geronimosrv.exe and geronimosrvw.exe command, refer to Apache Commons Daemon manual.
To remove the Apache Geronimo service run the following command:

<geronimo_home>\bin\service_pr.bat remove

For example:

D:\geronimo-tomcat6-javaee5-2.2\bin>service_pr.bat remove
The service 'geronimosrv' has been removed.

Java Service Wrapper

A Java Service Wrapper will be required as an additional software to achieve this configuration. Using a service wrapper gives you some additional "control" on the service you are configuring such as the ability to ping the service and take action if the service is down.

Software Prerequisites

To set up Apache Geronimo server to run as a Microsoft Windows service you will certainly need a Java Service Wrapper. For this example we used Java Service Wrapper 3.2.3 available for download at the following URL:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/wrapper/

Installing the Java Service Wrapper

Follow the instructions for installing Java Service Wrapper. Once you download the right version for your environment you extract the zip file to a directory of your convenience. Throughout the rest of the article this directory will be referred to as <jsw_home>.

For this particular example we will try to locate all the wrapper related files within the Geronimo directory structure, so we will have to copy some files over.

Once you install the wrapper, copy the items as indicated in the following table.

 Source 
 Destination 

 <jsw_home>/bin/wrapper.exe 
 <geronimo_home>/bin/wrapper.exe 

 <jsw_home>/lib/wrapper.jar 
 <geronimo_home>/lib/wrapper.jar 

 <jsw_home>/lib/wrapper.dll 
 <geronimo_home>/lib/wrapper.dll 

Create the following files under their specified directories according to the instructions in the Configuring the Wrappe section. You can also download the files directly and placed them at the given locations.

	<geronimo_home>/bin/g_service.bat
	<geronimo_home>/bin/Install_Geronimo_NT.bat
	<geronimo_home>/bin/Uninstall_Geronimo_NT.bat
	<geronimo_home>/var/config/wrapper.conf

Configuring the Wrapper

The Java Service Wrapper has a sample configuration file wrapper.conf, which is pre-configured to run a test script. This file is located in the <jsw_home>/conf directory. In this section we provide a Geronimo specific wrapper.conf file for your convenience.

Create the configuration file as illustrated in the following example and place it in the <geronimo_home>/var/config/wrapper.conf directory. In this way we can keep all the wrapper files within Geronimo's directory structure.
wrapper.conf

# Location of java.exe (in Windows)

wrapper.java.command=<java_home>/bin/java

# These additional parameters are required to start the server since we are not setting any
# environment variables prior to running the wrapper.

wrapper.java.additional.1=-javaagent:"<geronimo_home>/bin/jpa.jar"
wrapper.java.additional.2=-Djava.ext.dirs="<geronimo_home>/lib/ext;<java_home>/jre/lib/ext"
wrapper.java.additional.3=-Djava.endorsed.dirs="<geronimo_home>/lib/endorsed;<java_home>/jre/lib/endorsed"
wrapper.java.additional.4=-Dorg.apache.geronimo.home.dir="<geronimo_home>"
wrapper.java.additional.5=-Djava.io.tmpdir="<geronimo_home>/var/temp"

# Classpath

wrapper.java.classpath.1=../lib/wrapper.jar
wrapper.java.classpath.2=../bin/server.jar

# Location of the wrapper.dll (in Windows)

wrapper.java.library.path.1=../lib

# Main class the wrapper will use.

wrapper.java.mainclass=org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.WrapperSimpleApp

# Geronimo start class and parameters.

wrapper.app.parameter.1=org.apache.geronimo.cli.daemon.DaemonCLI

# Log settings.

wrapper.console.format=PM
wrapper.console.loglevel=INFO
wrapper.logfile=../var/log/wrapper.log
wrapper.logfile.format=LPTM
wrapper.logfile.loglevel=INFO
wrapper.logfile.maxsize=0
wrapper.logfile.maxfiles=0
wrapper.syslog.loglevel=INFO

# Windows service name and description.

wrapper.console.title=Apache Geronimo v2.2 Server
wrapper.ntservice.name=Geronimo
wrapper.ntservice.displayname=Apache Geronimo v2.2 Server
wrapper.ntservice.description=Apache Geronimo v2.2 Server
wrapper.ntservice.dependency.1=
wrapper.ntservice.starttype=AUTO_START
wrapper.ntservice.interactive=false

where

	replace <geronimo_home> and <java_home> with the appropriate settings for your environment.

This service wrapper allows three different methods of integration depending on, among other things, whether you use the same class or not to start and stop the server.

For Geronimo we will use the simplest method of integration as the server can shutdown cleanly when System.exit() is called. For this integration the wrapper's mainclass is set to WrapperSimpleApp and the org.apache.geronimo.cli.daemon.DaemonCLI class is specified as the main class to start the server. Right now, no extra parameters are passed to start the server but they can be specified by adding additional wrapper.app.parameter values. The wrapper will stop the server by calling System.exit().

As we mentioned before, for this example we are trying to locate all the wrapper related files within the Geronimo directory structure. As you can see in the wrapper.conf shown above, most of the directory references are relative to Geronimo's installation directory.

Next we will create a batch file to run the service from the command line without the need of actually installing the service. This is particularly helpful when testing and debugging the configuration. Create the g_service.bat batch file in the <geronimo_home>/bin directory and copy the content of the following example.
g_service.bat
