Allow Windows JNLP agent connected with websockets to be installed as a service

XMLWordPrintable

      When setting up a JNLP agent using websockets and launching the agent using web start on Windows, it doesn't display the File menu containing the 'install as a service' option.

      Enclosed in a screen capture of 2 jnlp agents connected to the same instance.
      The left one is without websockets, the right one has websockets enabled.

          Is there a workaround at minimum for installing the agent using WebSockets as a windows service?

          jthompson is there any update or workaround regarding this issue? Is there some sort of documentation that explains the reason of why you can't install it as a service when using WebSocket?

          There's no built in workaround or implementation, though there are a number of ways you can roll your own. There are many connection modes with the Remoting library. WebSockets is a new one and no one has implemented the mechanisms to use the "Install as a service" option.
