It would be nice to finally have a Windows service install
procedure both as the result of running the installer or using asadmin
which properly sets things up like adding -Xrs to the necessary bat
files etc.
It would also be nice to be able to have platform services for
running the bundled JavaDB in network mode similar to how you can rung
OpenMQ in either embedded or server mode.
There's no supported way to have the bundled JavaDB start in
network mode. You have to use something like JavaServiceWrapper to
install a separate JavaDB service. You should be able to to have the
option to have it start up the JavaDB in network mode during GF
startup. This would simplify deployment by reducing the number of
installed services, remove dealing with service dependency/start order
and all the other manual overhead associated with doing this. Right now
you can only have GF start the JavaDB in embedded mode which is
unfortunate because one of the major drawbacks of this mode is that
there can only be one client connected to the DB at a time making
working with a running database (for example for debugging/development
purposes) a real pain.
