If you're using a 'real' database (eg MySQL), then it becomes more easy, since that can be configured to start when the system boots.

Hi jbarrez,

thanks four your response. I just thought, activiti has an option to define it as a windows service. I thought it exisits an easier way to do that but it's okay. So I will try to create a script which runs at startup and then it could be working…

Thank you
