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 . . .

A quick google search brought this up and you saved me countless headaches. Thanks. 🙂
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 😉
This saved me a lot of time! Thanks a lot. 🙂
You just saved me a ton of work. Cheers!
Very good, I had try other ways that don’t worked, but this time worked fine. Thank’s.
Why i don’t enter to this site first?
thank you, i lost a lot of time finding and now you save my ass
Vlw cara ajudou d+!!!
u rocks!!
Didn’t work at first, but after running command prompt as administrator, it did.
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
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. 😉
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!!!
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
You can’t imagine how long I’ve searched for this solution. Can’t believe it was this simple, thanks a lot. You’ve saved me a lot of trouble.

Hi, sorry but I have not tested this on window 2003 server.
find a way around if some one like
using
domain1Service.exe stop
taskkill /f /im java.exe
and it work!!!
Thanks a lot!

Has anyone tried running a GF3 service not as the Local System account? I.e. a non-priviledged user…
I’m struggling to get it working with GF3, whereas GF2 was a piece of cake…
Have created a user, given that use modify permissions on the entire GF3 folder, and set-up the service to logon as the created user…
However just get the generic ‘the service on local computer started and then stopped’.
Trying to run on Server 2003 R2.
Any info appreciated.

Does glassfish service run also in client side? like windows xp pro??? ..
if so how to run it?
Thanks man, you rock! Quite simple. Works fine on Win7 x64 with GF 3.1.2.2 . For those who want to RTFM, it’s all documented in the GF Reference Manual. 🙂
So many thanks for the info!
Was very useful 🙂
Really useful, thanks a lot.
