Jack Cai updated GERONIMO-4394:
-------------------------------

    Attachment: GERONIMO-4394_Jack.patch

Thanks Jarek for your advice! Now I've come out with a more impact version. I 
can successfully install the car to a running server to add those new commands 
into its bin dir. The only myth left is that after installation, the car in the 
server's repo is not a car archive, but extracted there.

I've created a patch for the 2.1.x branch. It can be easily applied to 2.2 
branch if all occurances of "2.1.4-SNAPSHOT" are replaced with "2.2-SNAPSHOT". 
The patch does not include the 2 binary exe files though. I'm not sure about 
the convention of how to add them (in the patch or separately?), so I just 
attach them separately here. They should both be put into the 
plugins/osservice/geronimo-procrun/src/main/resources/bin/ dir.

> Although there is already an option provided by the Java Service Wrapper, 
> some users are more interested in seeing something similar to what is 
> provided by Tomcat. Provided that we can easily take the technology from 
> Tomcat (http://commons.apache.org/daemon/procrun.html), I'm keen to implement 
> this same thing for Geronimo. The advantage of using Apache Commons procrun 
> is that -
>  1. Out-of-box experience, no need to download and install a third party 
> component;
>  2. Tray icon that further improves usability.
> Eventually we would think to provide this "run as a service" capability for 
> Linux/Unix platforms, but Windows would be a good start.
