ServiceInstaller 1.1

Example Files
-------------

Test.java (Sample application that reads/writes a text file)
Test.class (Bytecode for Test.java)
test.in (Sample input data)

Java Example
------------

Unpack the example zip into C:\javatest. (If you unpack to a
different directory, then you will have to modify the examples
below accordingly.)

The main Java class is Test.class. A support file is also
provided, test.in, which provides some trivial data for the main
class to read and write to a new file, test.out.

Run ServiceInstaller to create a new service. (In this example, it
is assumed that java is installed at c:\jdk1.2)

Service Name	  : JavaTest
Display Name	  : JavaTest
Startup     	  : Manual
Dependencies	  : (Leave blank)
Executable  	  : c:\jdk1.2\bin\java.exe
Arguments         : -cp c:\javatest Test
Working Directory : c:\javatest

After installing, open the Control Panel's Services applet, select
and start the JavaTest service.

You can stop the service once it starts. It is a very small
program that performs one simple task, reading and writing a short
text file, and then ends.

Check the c:\javatest folder for a new file, test.out, which
contains the same lines of data as the file test.in.

Note that if a working directory was not specified, the app would
expect to find test.in in Winnt\system32, and if found, would
write test.out to the same Winnt\system32 folder.

Using ServiceInstaller, re-enter the name JavaTest and click the
Remove button to de-install the example service.
