    Not able to install JBoss 5.1 as a windows service on Windows 2008 64 bit

    nitin.bhardwaj21

      Hi Friends,

       

      I am trying to install JBoss 5.1 as a Windows service on Windows 2008 server (64 bit). I tried using two JVM configurations:

      1. JDK 1.6 update 27 64 bit

      2. JDK 1.6 update 27 32 bit

      However, I was unsuccessful using both of the above.

      I used service.bat install command from bin directory of JBoss and kept logging on, but no error was displayed. However, the service was not installed.

      The log for both of the above approaches remained the following:

       

      C:\servers\jboss-5.1.0\bin>service.bat install

      m: Windows x86" service.bat

       

       

      C:\servers\jboss-5.1.0\bin>if not errorlevel 0 goto errExplain

       

       

      C:\servers\jboss-5.1.0\bin>echo Service JBoss Application Server 5.1 installed

      Service JBoss Application Server 5.1 installed

       

       

      C:\servers\jboss-5.1.0\bin>goto cmdEnd

       

       

      C:\servers\jboss-5.1.0\bin>

       

      The most important thing is that no error is being displayed and also that no service is being installed on the server. I've checked "Administrative Tools ---> Services" that no service related to Jboss has been installed.

       

      Also note that when I install the JBoss 5.1 as a Windows Service on my XP (32 bit) OS machine then it is installed perfectly fine.

       

      Request you to help me.

          Hi,

           

          you probably opened the command prompt by using "Run as administrator"?

           

          Best regards

            Actually, just the opposite. I ran the command prompt as a user.

            The error has been resolved today by running the Command Prompt as an Administrator, and then issuing the command "service.bat install". Peter Johnson pointed me to that answer on Coderanch Thanks to you for replying !

             

            However, now I am facing another error: When I start the Windows service (for JBoss AS) then it throws the following exception when I try to login to my application named XCMS (Note: I've used JAAS based security for my web application and the database for authentication and authorization):

             

            19:11:05,808 ERROR [[/XCMS]] Exception sending request initialized lifecycle event to listener instance of class com.listener.XCMSServletRequestListener

            19:11:27,761 ERROR [CoyoteAdapter] An exception or error occurred in the container during the request processing

            java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

             

            Important Note: No such exception occurs when I start the JBoss AS through run.bat. Everything works fine and I am able to login to the application and use the application.The XCMSServletRequestListener implements the interface java.servlet.ServletRequestListener, and it has been defined as follows in the web.xml:

             

            <listener>

                <description>ServletRequestListener for Setting User Information in Session</description>

                <display-name>XCMSServletRequestListener</display-name>

                <listener-class>com.listener.XCMSServletRequestListener</listener-class>

              </listener>

             

            I have no idea why the OutOfMemoryError is coming only with JBoss Windows Service and not with run.bat (JBoss AS).

            Request you to help me out.

              You are runing into a know issue where service.bat is setting JAVA_OPTS (it adds in the -Xrs) which causes run.conf.bat to not set any of the memory settings. One workaround is to comment out the setting of JAVA_OPTS within service.bat and add the -Xrs flag to JAVA_OPTS in run.conf.bat.
