Running Oracle9iAS as a service

[jason adam]

I've got 9i running on a development machine, with a web app deployed in the OC4J container. I use the Windows resource kit tools to call the jar file so that the engine runs as a service, and everything runs fine... as long as a user is actually logged into the machine. Once you log out, you can't access the web app, it basically is shutting down the engine (I have a feeling because this is running in a console window).
Is there a way to run a web app in 9i, and have it accessible, without having a user logged into the machine? I'm not very fluent with the Oracle stuff, other than the configurations needed that were provided by the vendor (who admit that they start up the container manually each time).

You'll need JRE 1.3.1 or later to get this to work, otherwise the service will shut down as you logoff.
java -Xrs -jar oc4j.jar >>log.txt
The -Xrs is the important part here, which reduces the VM's sensitivity to OS commands. Note that it also disables the Ctrl-C break and kills through task manager, so you'll need to run admin.jar -shutdown to stop the AS.
Try running java -X to read more about advanced options when running java applications.
