This solution currently works great with version 1 of Spring Boot, but fails with

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.run(Ljava/lang/Object;[Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/springframework/context/ConfigurableApplicationContext; at net.nicoll.boot.daemon.SpringBootService.start(SpringBootService.java:42) at net.nicoll.boot.daemon.StartSpringBootService.main(StartSpringBootService.java:27)

in version2 ... would it be possible to upgrade / update so it works with v2+ as well?

Service started and then stopped on Windows host. There is no error information in the log file.

Do you think, it is possible to pack dependencies in jar instead of lib in this configuration. I mean.. I do this all the time but I wonder, if there is any reason that you have it in lib instead of jar. Thanks.

I see that you have Maven in your examples, would is be possible to have gradle examples as well?

Using <stopparentprocessfirst> with the default Ctrl+C termination seems to work for a graceful shutdown of Spring Boot (2.x) without needing JMX.

I add
<startargument>-Dspring.profiles.active=dev</startargument>

If my application-dev.properties is in "src/main/resources" is OK but I want use an external file.

Good Morning,

I have an inquiry about which user is calling java. The documentation leads me to believe that it's the service's "Log on as" account. However, I when start a Spring boot application as a service and its first console line is example.SpringBootApplication : Starting SpringBoootApplication v0.0.1 on [local machine name] with PID 9052 (C:\SpringBootApp\springbootapp-0.0.1\lib\springbootapp-0.0.1.jar started by [local machine name] in C:\SpringBootApp\springbootapp-0.0.1).
[local machine name] does contain a $ at the end of it.
This wouldn't be a concern, however, there are multiple database connections with usernames and passwords. And only as a service, the error log appears for each sqlserver com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Login failed for user '[local machine name]'. ClientConnectionId:[id], and other databases have invalid user and pass error messages.

My starting xml file was

 <serviceaccount>
    <domain>domain</domain>
     <user>user</user>
     <password>pass</password>
 </serviceaccount>

I've altered it to hard code to Down-Level Logon Name

 <serviceaccount>
     <user>domain\user</user>
     <password>pass</password>
 </serviceaccount>

and to User Principal Name

 <serviceaccount>
     <user>user@domain</user>
     <password>pass</password>
 </serviceaccount>

with the same results.

Here is the full current xml file.

i have 3 modules. one of them has just scheduling tasks. another one has jmslisteners and other one has a tcp server socket. module with schedulers can be stopped properly on demand. But other 2 can not be stopped properly. i think connections for tcp socket and activemq block stopping these modules. ?

docs.spring.io references this project as a Windows Service example, but there isn't a lot of explaination in either docs.spring.io or your README

I'm looking for a breakdown of how this project and it's modules work together in order to fully grokk how such an implementation can be leveraged. The project on it's own works, but not so simple when trying to integrate into an existing project (i.e.; CommandLineRunner)

Is there any way how to catch stop command in spring-boot-daemon-sample? I need to gracefully stop the spring boot app and currently I think it is a force shutdown. Thanks

Hi;
can you please rename the project groupId and package (com.example) ?
ex : use com.github
Thanks!

In order to use this great library even more easily
As a developer
I want releases to be available in a public maven repoe

Sonatype OSSRH at http://central.sonatype.org/pages/ossrh-guide.html

Hi,

Is it possible to use Spring Profiles with this implementation? For example, I want to run the service on a QA server with application-qa.properties and on a Production server with application.properites.

Thanks.

This version imho does not exist.

Probably means

Problem description

On normal conditions, when starting the spring-boot application by running the startup-component.bat file, two processes are created:

• one for the spring-boot application
• one for the JMX control endpoint

For example, for a component that defines its JMX port as 50204, a netsat to this port, shows:

C:\Program Files\XXX\spring-boot-app>netstat -aon |find /i "listening" |find "50204" TCP 0.0.0.0:50204 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 5088 TCP [::]:50204 [::]:0 LISTENING 5088

In this case, the shutdown-component.bat file stops the application correctly.

In some random situations, and using the same exact component, the JMX process does not start, and only the component process is started:

C:\Program Files\XXX\spring-boot-app>netstat -aon |find /i "listening" |find "50204" TCP 0.0.0.0:50204 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 2612

In this case, the shutdown-component.bat file does not stops the application, and the only way to stop it is by killing it using "Kill process tree".

Please note that this is an all or nothing situation: if when installed, it starts both processes correctly, it will always be OK. If its not the case, it will never start both processes again.

As mentioned, i'm running this on a VM, and i need to revert the VM's and install new versions (or the same version) every week. In some instantiations, this problem occurs.

I cant find any reason for that, as i always start from the same base snapshot.

Is there anything that i can do to be able to understand why this is happening?

I noticed that Maven Central and repo.spring,io have a version of this project deployed with a different groupId and version, but the source code is from this project.

<dependency>
    <groupId>net.kemitix</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-daemon-integration</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0</version>
</dependency>

Could you clarify the intended use of this projects artifacts and code, as far as its use ion other projects?
Is "spring-boot-daemon-integration" also intended to be published to Maven Central or SpringIO repositories using the "net.nicoll" groupId and version?
Did you or do you intend for the "spring-boot-daemon-integration" module to be used as a dependency in other projects, or was this just sample code meant to be "copy-pasted" into other projects?
Do you know anything about what/who is publishing the "net.kemitix" artifact (I could not find a publicly forked repository)?

I am using windows install shield 2012 configure the spring-boot-daemon-sample.exe as a windows service. And pass "install" as the parameter to start up the service after installation. However, it reports error 1902, ask for sufficient privilege to start the service.

Any hint for this kind of error ?
