WSO2 Carbon and any Carbon-based product can be run as a Windows service as described in the following sections:
| Table of Contents |
|---|
Prerequisites
- Install JDK 1.6 or higher and set up the
JAVA_HOMEenvironment variable. - Download and install a service wrapper library to use for running your WSO2 product as a Windows service. WSO2 recommends Yet Another Java Service Wrapper (YAJSW) 11.03, and several WSO2 products provide a default
wrapper.conffile in their<PRODUCT_HOME>/bin/yajswdirectory. The instructions below describe how to set up this file.
Setting up the YAJSW wrapper configuration file
The configuration file used for wrapping Java Applications by YAJSW is wrapper.conf, which is located in the <YAJSW_HOME>/conf directory and in the <PRODUCT_HOME>bin/yajsw directory of many WSO2 products. Following is the minimal wrapper.conf configuration for running a WSO2 product as a Windows service. Open your wrapper.conf file, set its properties as follows, and save it in <YAJSW_HOME>/conf directory.

Setting up PRODUCT_HOME
Extract the Carbon based product that you want to run as a Windows service, and then set the Windows environment variable CARBON_HOME to the extracted product directory location. For example, if you want to run AS 5.2.0 as a Windows service, you would set PRODUCT_HOME to the extracted wso2as-5.2.0 directory.
Running the product in console mode
You will now verify that YAJSW is configured correctly for running the Carbon based product as a Windows service.
...
If the configurations are set properly for YAJSW, you will see the console output similar to the following and can now access the WSO2 management console from your web browser via https://localhost:9443/carbon.
Working with the WSO2CARBON service
To install the Carbon based product as a Windows service, execute the following command in the
<YAJSW_HOME>/batdirectory:Code Block installService.bat
The console will display a message confirming that the WSO2CARBON service was installed.
To start the service, execute the following command in the same console window:
Code Block startService.bat
The console will display a message confirming that the WSO2CARBON service was started.
To stop the service, execute the following command in the same console window:
Code Block stopService.bat
The console will display a message confirming that the WSO2CARBON service has stopped.
To uninstall the service, execute the following command in the same console window:
Code Block uninstallService.bat
The console will display a message confirming that the WSO2CARBON service was removed.
