Java is being used more and more for the development of server applications, backend processes and ETL systems. Out of this comes the need to be able to reliably run Java in the background on a number of server platforms, as a Windows Service on Windows platforms or a daemon process on UNIX platforms.
Tanuki Software, Ltd. is the market leader in the development of products to increase the reliability and portability of applications built on Java. Our Java Service Wrapper line of products are highly configurable tools which not only allow Java applications to be installed and controlled like native Windows Services or UNIX daemon processes, but also include advanced fault detection software which monitors an application. The Java Service Wrapper is able to detect crashes, freezes, out of memory and other exception events, then notify you via email when there is a problem. It does not stop there however, the Java Service Wrapper is unique in its ability to automatically react to any of the above events by shutting down your application or restarting it with a minimum of delay. These features combine to help you guarantee the maximum possible uptime for your application or service. The Wrapper allows businesses and developers to rapidly deploy reliable Java based solutions on a wide variety of platforms in a consistent way.
Mission critical applications cover a wide variety of functions. One thing that they almost all have in common is the fact that they must be available at all times of the day, each and every day of the year. As any system administrator knows vacations, dinner, or even sleep gets put on hold when the cel phone rings to report a problem. The Java Service Wrapper allows you to play, relax, and sleep easily, knowing that even if there is a problem with your system, the Wrapper will be there to notice and restart the affected system with a minimum of downtime.
