Installing as Windows Service
can be installed and started/stopped as a Windows Service. Batch files provided in the <frevvo-home> directory can install, configure and monitor the service:
...
4. Right click the My Computer icon. Select Manage, Services and Applications, Services. The service should be listed.
Install as a service on Windows (x64)
If you want to install as a service on a x64 installation of Windows you will need to perform a few additional steps.
...
7. Now try to start and stop the service and remember to check the service logs both in <frevvo-home>/tomcat/logs/frevvoforms-stderr.YYYY-MM-DD.log and the Windows System Event log for details.
Live Forms fails to install/start as windows service
Running c:\frevvo\Install Service fails to install the service and fails to run as a windows service. Make sure the %JAVA_HOME%/bin is added to the system PATH Environment Variable.
...
If you see the error message shown when starting the service on an x64 install, make sure the Startup/Shutdown mode was changed from jvm to java. See above for the details.
Windows Binaries
Previous versions of the Windows binaries (executables and dlls) found in the <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin folder were built for x86 (32-bit) architectures and will not work on a x64 architecture (64-bits). We are now bundling the tomcat version 7.0.35 binaries for the three architectures inside <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin folders: <frevvo-home>\tomcat\bin\x64, <frevvo-home>\tomcat\bin\i64 and <frevvo-home>\tomcat\bin\x86.
...
- Replace tomcat7.exe, tomcat7w.exe and tcnative-1.dll found in <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin with the ones found in <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/x64 (for 64-bit architectures) or the ones found in <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/i64 (for Itanium 64-bit architectures).
frevvo.war
The application frevvo.war now runs directly from the war file. This means that frevvo.war no longer expands its contents into <frevvo-home>\tomcat\temp or <frevvo-home>\tomcat\webapps\frevvo. Tomcat still does create a temp folder, for example <frevvo-home>\tomcat\temp\0-frevvo (the actual folder depends on where java.io.tmpdir is pointing to) to store form/flow cached html and other temporary files.
