Installing FSR as service in Windows

fsweb — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:46:39 GMT

We have Alfresco Enterprise 3.1.1 WCM on a RHEL 5 box and I'm trying to install the FSR 3.1 on a Windows 2008 box. It installs and runs fine, however when logging the user off it also kills the FSR. I know it runs inside a JVM and I think that's the problem. I've tried configuring the deploy_start.b

You could use a framework like this:

Or write the windows service adapter yourself and contribute it back please.

I went through documentation provided on java wrapper service site.I have also tried tomcat start stop feature.But How I configure deploy_start.bat to wrapper service.
Do I need to write Java code for this ?

No its windows code. Unless you use some sort of framework which does the work for you.

Thanks for reply.
It would be great if you will provide sample program to call our deploy_start.bat .
Deployer bat file contains some parameters to start(like application-context.xml).

start /min "Deployment Server" "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" -server -Djava.ext.dirs=. org.alfresco.deployment.Main application-context.xml ‍

I need it urgent so please reply me ASAP.

Thanks in advance.

Hi mrogers,

We have achieved FSR as windows service on 32bit machines using JAVA wrapper class.

2.   Unzip the wrapper to some folder. i.e C:\wrapper
3.   Get Alfresco FSR Deployer for 3.1
4.   Copy all Jar files from FSR Deployer 3.1 to "wrapper\lib" folder.
5.   Create a empty jar file and add a " deployment.properties" from FSR Deployer 3.1. Copy this jar file to "wrapper\lib" folder. Name it as " deployment-config.jar". (attached file contains this jar file)
6.   Copy following files from FSR Deployer 3.1 to "wrapper\bin" directory.
a.   application-context.xml
b.   shutdown-context.xml
7.   Copy following files from "wrapper\src\bin" to "wrapper\bin" directory and remove ".in" from file name to make it batch file.
a.   InstallApp-NT.bat.in (after rename it should be " InstallApp-NT.bat" )
b.   UninstallApp-NT.bat.in (after rename it should be " UninstallApp-NT.bat" )
8.   Open "wrapper/conf/wrapper.conf" file and make following changes.
a.   change " wrapper.java.command" to "%JAVA_HOME%/bin/java"
b.   change " wrapper.java.mainclass" to "org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.WrapperStartStopApp"
c.   Add following classpath entries. Remove default entries for classpath.
i.   wrapper.java.classpath.1=../lib/wrapper.jar
ii.   wrapper.java.classpath.2=C:/Java/jdk1.6.0_14/lib/tools.jar (give JAVA_HOME path here. as per you JAVA_HOME configuration. use %JAVA_HOME%)
iii.   wrapper.java.classpath.4=../lib/alfresco-deployment.jar
iv.   wrapper.java.classpath.5=../lib/alfresco-core.jar
v.   wrapper.java.classpath.6=../lib/commons-logging-1.1.jar
vi.   wrapper.java.classpath.7=../lib/jug-lgpl-2.0.0.jar

viii.   wrapper.java.classpath.9=../lib/spring-2.0.8.jar
ix.   wrapper.java.classpath.10=../lib/deployment-config.jar
x.   #wrapper.java.classpath.10=../lib/deployment.properties
xi.   #wrapper.java.classpath.11=../lib/shutdown-context.xml
xii.   #wrapper.java.classpath.12=../lib/application-context.xml
d.   Add following additions parameters.
i.   wrapper.java.additional.2=-Dcatalina.base=..
ii.   wrapper.java.additional.3=-Dcatalina.home=..
iii.   wrapper.java.additional.4=-Djava.io.tmpdir=../temp
e.   Add following Application Parameters
i.   wrapper.app.parameter.1=org.alfresco.deployment.Main
ii.   wrapper.app.parameter.2=1
iii.   wrapper.app.parameter.3=application-context.xml
iv.   wrapper.app.parameter.4=org.alfresco.deployment.Main
v.   wrapper.app.parameter.5=TRUE
vi.   wrapper.app.parameter.6=1
vii.   wrapper.app.parameter.7=shutdown-context.xml
