Glassfish v3 as Windows Service

That’s is something simple but I’ve taken a long time to figure out how to set my Glassfish v3 server as a Windows Service.

After a long time doing google searching, I came across a simple solution. All that you need to do is enter in your Glassfish v3 bin directory and run the command:

c:\glassfishv3\bin\asadmin create-service

Yeah! Just it will work!

I hope this tip be useful for you too!

See you . . .

    For this simple answer i googled and searched the sun and oracle pages, with no result.
    perhaps they are considering this as beta-information, but the solution given here is very relevant. Thanks ;-)

    so i got the service installed but when i start i get this error: Windows could not start the domain1 GlassFish Server service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly. I’m using glassfish 3.0.1 and windows 7.

    Wondering if anyone knows what’s up…

      Hi James, I’ve never tested this on Windows 7. I believe for Windows 7 you should use another process

      • James on

        Thanks for the response. Any chance u would know what the windows 7 process is? The process described here is for windows xp/2003 server? I’m wondering if it was necessary to have set the JAVA_HOME system variable to my jdk root for the service to start correctly. Thanks for any help u can offer. ;)

      • Leonardo on

        Yeah! That was for Windows XP/2003 server. You can try to set the JAVA_HOME, but to work on Windows XP/2003 server that is not necessary. I don’t have a Windows 7 here to test. Try that. Good luck

        I am on windows vista, I have the exactly same problem. But in my case. restarting didn’t fixed it. Any help?

    Okay found the issue… just have to restart the computer :)

    Cheers all!!!

  11. Radu on

    Ok, I managed to fix this. It’s actually a fix I didn’t find anywhere, so I hope it will help others. It was a spaces problem. So I edited the doimain1Service.xml and added quotes in the path parameters, like so
    “C:/Program Files/glassfish-3.0.1/glassfish/domains”
    same for

        find a way around if some one like
        using

        taskkill /f /im java.exe

        and it work!!!
