Installing CORBA orbd-Name Service as Windows Service

I developed CORBA server/client with use of Java IDL component of Java SE platform.

I want start this application as service on Windows Platform, so i used Java Service wrapper , and installed application as service.

but before starting server, i need to start orbd.exe - The CORBA Naming Service from Oracle.

I tried installed this exe as service using sc create command from windows.

but when i start this orb service using sc start

it gets hangs and throws following error: 

 [SC] StartService FAILED 1053:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Whats wrong with this windows service ?

How do I start the CORBA Naming Service as windows service ?

you could actually run orbd with the Wrapper as well.

Basically you need the following properties in your orbd.conf file:

wrapper.java.command=%JAVA_HOME%/bin/java

wrapper.java.mainclass=org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.WrapperSimpleApp
wrapper.app.parameter.1=com.sun.corba.se.impl.activation.ORBD

wrapper.java.additional.1=-Dapplication.home="%JAVA_HOME%"
wrapper.java.additional.2=-Dcom.sun.CORBA.activation.DbDir="%JAVA_HOME%"/orb.db
wrapper.java.additional.3=-Dcom.sun.CORBA.activation.Port=1049
wrapper.java.additional.4=-Dcom.sun.CORBA.POA.ORBServerId=1

wrapper.java.classpath.1=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar
wrapper.java.classpath.2=%JAVA_HOME%\classes
wrapper.java.classpath.3=../lib/wrapper.jar

wrapper.java.library.path.1=../lib
wrapper.java.library.path.2=%JAVA_HOME%/bin

wrapper.name=orbd
wrapper.displayname=CORBA Naming Service

Once this has been installed as service, you can set for your application a dependency on that service to make sure that orbd is getting started when you run your application. 

wrapper.ntservice.dependency.1=orbd

(you need to reinstall the application in order to set the dependency)

Hope this helps you out.

cheers

You get error 1053 because orbd.exe is not a native Windows Service and can not respond properly to the request to start itself. You will need a "service wrapper" application that can accept the Windows Service commands (start, stop) and take the appropriate actions on your executable (launch, terminate).

Microsoft's free SRVANY utility will be adequate if your needs are basic but several more robust commercial alternatives are available too.
