Starting derby network server as a service in Win OS
----------------------------------------------------

         Key: DERBY-187
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-187
     Project: Derby
        Type: New Feature
  Components: Services  
    Versions: 10.0.2.1    
 Environment: OS will be only any flavour of Windows.
    Reporter: Amit Handa
    Priority: Minor


The Derby Network Server Database could be started/stopped as a service in 
Windows OS.
This may involve updating the win registry. Further work needs to be done to 
understand what all will it require to do such a thing.

I am putting below Andrew McIntyre's comments if they can help in getting a 
solution to this problem.

If you would like to see this functionality added, please add a JIRA entry for 
it.  The easiest way to do this would be to provide a registry key file for 
Derby Network Server and provide instructions on how to install it as a Windows 
service using instsrv and srvany. However, we obviously can't redistribute 
those two utilities, but it would be nice to provide all the parts to the 
solution. So, a little searching turned up this public domain srvany 
replacement:

I haven't tried it, but I suggest trying it out to see how well it works.
