Running FDS as a true service

[Vision_Airlines]

I have FDS installed on Windows Server 2003. It runs fine as
long as I'm logged in, but the server seems to shut down when I log
off. I don't want to leave the server logged into an account all
the time. This introduces a lot of security concerns. Is there a
way to set it up as a true service so that it will continue to run
without an account logged in?

Hello:

It really depends on the J2EE server you are using. FDS runs
under a web

application on that particular server, so let us know what
you are using.

For example, with the embedded JRun j2ee server that installs
with Flex (which is a convenience, not a requirement), use the
jrunsvc command to install as a windows service: see
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/jrun/4/Installing_JRun/install5.htm.



Once you have done that, set the following property in the
{app_name}\WEB-INF\flex\flex-config.xml for the specific Flex
app(s) that will be running on a headless server (which could be
your case):



<!--

When headless-server is true, the system property
java.awt.headless will be set to true.

This should be used with JDK 1.4+ on servers without
graphics cards and

monitors. Otherwise, the property is not set.

-->

<headless-server>true</headless-server>
