Summary: Running GigaSpaces as a Windows Service
Common ScenariosGigaSpaces infrastructure can be started using a GigaSpaces Grid Service Agent as explained in GSA page. When using Windows based OS for running GigaSpaces infrastructure, users want to convert GSA into a windows service for following common reasons,
psexecIf your requirement is only item 1 and/or 2 above, you can use psexec (SysInternals/Microsoft tool, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553). When you start the GSA using psexec from a remote machine in the network the process does not open command windows and does not get terminated on a logoff of the user. Windows ServiceIf you need to fulfill all 3 reasons above, then you have to create a windows service for GSA. Easiest way to convert GSA into service is to use the .Net version of the product and create windows service using the instructions that are documented on our .Net wiki. Some users are not comfortable using the .Net version of the product and want to use only Java version of the product. In such cases, there are many software that can help in converting a Java Application (like GigaSpaces) to a Windows Service. Following are some popular software that can help: ExampleAn example GSA windows service configuration created using Java Service Wrapper can be downloaded from here.
