Summary

JBoss EAP 6 as a service on Windows

1. Create system environment variables
   Create two system environment variables:
   • JBOSS_HOME pointing to the JBoss EAP 6 installation directory.
   • NOPAUSE=1
2. Open a terminal, and change directories to EAP_HOME\modules\system\layers\base\native\sbin
   A new service can be created with the service install command, with the available options shown in the following table.
   
   service install options

   Argument or Switch

   /controller HOST:PORT

   /host [DOMAIN_HOST]

   /loglevel LEVEL

   /name SERVICE_NAME

   /desc "DESCRIPTION"

   /serviceuser DOMAIN\USERNAME

   /servicepass PASSWORD

   /jbossuser USERNAME

   /jbosspass PASSWORD

   
   Below are basic examples of an install command to create a new service in either standalone or domain mode. 
• Standalone mode:
  service.bat install /loglevel INFO
• Domain mode:
  If you are not using the default master for your JBoss EAP 6 domain controller, replace master with the correct host name or alias of the JBoss EAP 6 domain controller.
  service.bat install /controller host:port /host{master /loglevel INFO
3. Verify the new service in the Services console
   If the default service name was used, in the list of Windows services, the new service will have the display name: JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6. From the Services console you can start and stop the service, as well change its settings on how and when it starts.
