I developed CORBA server/client with use of Java IDL component of Java SE platform.
I want start this application as service on Windows Platform, so i used Java Service wrapper , and installed application as service.
but before starting server, i need to start orbd.exe - The CORBA Naming Service from Oracle.
I tried installed this exe as service using sc create command from windows.
but when i start this orb service using sc start
it gets hangs and throws following error:
[SC] StartService FAILED 1053:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
Whats wrong with this windows service ?
How do I start the CORBA Naming Service as windows service ?
you could actually run orbd with the Wrapper as well.
Basically you need the following properties in your orbd.conf file:
wrapper.java.command=%JAVA_HOME%/bin/java
wrapper.java.mainclass=org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.WrapperSimpleApp
wrapper.app.parameter.1=com.sun.corba.se.impl.activation.ORBD
wrapper.java.additional.1=-Dapplication.home="%JAVA_HOME%"
wrapper.java.additional.2=-Dcom.sun.CORBA.activation.DbDir="%JAVA_HOME%"/orb.db
wrapper.java.additional.3=-Dcom.sun.CORBA.activation.Port=1049
wrapper.java.additional.4=-Dcom.sun.CORBA.POA.ORBServerId=1
wrapper.java.classpath.1=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar
wrapper.java.classpath.2=%JAVA_HOME%\classes
wrapper.java.classpath.3=../lib/wrapper.jar
wrapper.java.library.path.1=../lib
wrapper.java.library.path.2=%JAVA_HOME%/bin
wrapper.name=orbd
wrapper.displayname=CORBA Naming Service
Once this has been installed as service, you can set for your application a dependency on that service to make sure that orbd is getting started when you run your application.
wrapper.ntservice.dependency.1=orbd
(you need to reinstall the application in order to set the dependency)
Hope this helps you out.
