Is there a possibility to install BaseX server as a service under Windows?
The -S switch to start BaseX in the background is nice, however a proper windows service would be even better!
Anyone that has accomplished this?
Best regards,
Sam

Hi Sam,
I don't know about any special tricks BaseX has up it's sleeve, but I have had succes running Solr, BigData and other Java server apps as a Windows service using YAJSW. It's fairly easy to accomplish. There are other applications that can run Java apps as a Windows Service for you as well.

Hi Sam, hi Huib,
if one of you succeeds installing BaseX as service, would you be willing to contribute a little HowTo article for our Wiki?

Hi,
Maybe I don't understand your needs, but there exists native tools to install services with windows. For instance the batch command sc, or the visual studio tool installutil. Is there any incentive for not using them ?

Ok, I missed the point sorry : BaseX being a Java executable, we have to wrap it before registring it as a service with sc or installutil. Wrapping Java for windows servicing is quite easy, I did it some years ago with JSW. I had a look to YAJSW : it seems to be a better choice than JSW now. Flexible enough licensing, and most importantly support for windows 64 bits. @Christian : Installing a service with YAJSW seems really straightforward (see : http://yajsw.sourceforge.net/). Is it worth writing a Wiki page ?

Hi Huib,
Thanks, I will look into YAJSW, it seems like a pretty straight forward way of doing it, I'll write back with my findings!
Best regards,
Sam
