Orion 1.5.4 and 2.0.2 - how to run it as service with JWinSvc

Orion is yet another Java application server. It is available from http://www.orionserver.com.

In order to install Orion as service with JWinSvc, please follow these steps:

1. Copy JWinSvc.exe into the "bin" subdirectory of the Orion root directory (presumably C:\Orion\bin).
2. Download a zip file for the following Orion versions: 1.5.4 and 2.0.2. These files contain the necessary batch files needed to install, run and eventually uninstall Orion as NT service with JWinSvc.
3. Unzip the file and copy the content of the "bin" folder into Orion root directory's "bin" folder.
4. JAVA_HOME environment variable is required to be set. Start the Command Shell and type "set". The set environment variables will be displayed in the console window. If JAVA_HOME is not present, add it by typing
   
   set JAVA_HOME="<path to JRE or JDK on your system>"
   
   e.g. set JAVA_HOME="C:\jdk1.4.1_01"
   
   
5. Finally, run "installsvc.bat" to install Orion as service.
6. To uninstall Orion as NT service with JWinSvc, run "uninstallsvc.bat".

Note: In order to change the service name, description or logging, please edit variables at the top of the "orionsvc.bat" file (see the comments inside).
