Java service wrapper - application doesn't execute when service starts

I have an application called "Update.jar" that I'm trying to use with the java service wrapper (JSW), but when I start the service (either from SERVICES.MSC or StartUpdate-NT.bat) the application doesn't run, even though the service is showing as started in SERVICES.MSC. There should be an icon displayed in the system tray through out the length of the runtime.

I've successfully launched the app:

• by executing the .jar
• by running Update.bat in [wrapper]/bin/ directory
• by executing from the command line

Below is my wrapper.conf file:

# Configuration files must begin with a line specifying the encoding

Could someone please point me at the right direction?

can you set the loglevel to debug by setting wrapper.debug=true

and rerun your application as service and post. From the log file you posted, your application seems to run... what happens after starting? does it shut down?

What OS are you running? Please note that starting with Windows Vista, all Services run in an isolated desktop (session 0), since that, you wouldn't be able to see the tray icon in your user desktop...

Small correction (unrelated to your problem), also please change in your conf file:

wrapper.java.mainclass=org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.WrapperSimpleApp update.Tray

to

wrapper.java.mainclass=org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.WrapperSimpleApp
wrapper.app.parameter.1=update.Tray

cheers,
