Installation
The JVM launcher service allows Java applications packaged as .jar archives to start as Mindbreeze InSpire “Launched Service.” The started processes are monitored and restarted when they terminate. The Output Stdout and Stderr process is written to the JVMLauncherService log.
Plugin installation via Mindbreeze Management Center
The JVMLauncher service plugin is included in the Mindbreeze InSpire installation. If you want to install or update the plugin separately, open the Mindbreeze Management Center and select “Configuration” from the menu on the left. Navigate to the “Plugins” tab, select the appropriate zip file in the “Plugin Management” section and upload it by clicking “Upload.” This automatically installs or updates the connector, as the case may be.
Configuration
After the plugin has been installed successfully, you can configure a JVMLauncher service. Open the “Indices” tab in the Mindbreeze InSpire configuration and add a service of the type “JVMLauncherService” under “Services.”
