How to wrap your java backend app as a Window service?
Procrun is a set of applications that allow Windows users to wrap (mostly) Java applications (e.g. Tomcat) as a Windows service.
Bundle below Power Shell(ps1) files into your app's jar file
InstallYourService.ps1
.\prunsrv.exe //IS//YourService --DisplayName="YourService" --Description="YourService" --Startup=auto --Install="c:\Program Files\yourservice\bin\prunsrv.exe" --Jvm="c:\Program Files\yourjvm\jvm.dll" --Classpath="c:\Program Files\yourservice\lib\yourserver-xx.x.jar" --StartMode=jvm --StartClass=com.yourservice.SpringBootApplication --StartMethod=main --StartParams=start --StopMode=jvm --StopClass=com.yourservice.SpringBootApplication --StopMethod=stop --StopParams=stop --StdOutput=auto --StdError=auto --LogPath="c:\Program Files\yourservice\log" --LogLevel=Debug --JvmOptions="-Dxx=yy"
Once you run the above install power shell script, you will be able to see your java app registered as a service in "Services" manager panel. Then you can stop or restart the service at your own.
