Java Windows Service Sample

A simple example of a Java + Spring Framework Program that can be run as a background process or a Windows Service.

This sample application makes use of Java Service Wrapper. It specifically uses the Integration Method 3 of Java Service Wrapper in which the Main class implements the WrapperListener interface and makes use of the WrapperManager to start the application. The application then has Spring Framework's scheduling mechanism (@Scheduled) on the worker class to execute a task on a fixed rate.

There are lots of configuration to make this work as a Windows service and run when you boot your PC. I have posted a tutorial about it on my blog No-nonsense. Hope this helps someone.

Note: Add Java Service Wrapper's wrapper.jar on your classpath. Download it from their website. It is not available as a Maven dependency.
