geoserver

About

The Windows executable GeoServer.exe in this directory serves as a 64-bit Java service wrapper, so that Windows users are able to install and run GeoServer as a Windows service.

The executable is identical to the original jsl64.exe Java Service Launcher (as described below). The only difference besides the fact that it has been renamed to avoid confusion, is that it has been digitally signed by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.

Java Service Launcher (JSL)

Java Service Launcher is a Java service wrapper, a small executable used to start 32bit and 64bit JAVA-programs as a Windows Service.

Note that JSL is not a JVM. It's simply a utility like java, javap, javac or javah which will launch a Java application through an already an installed JVM.

64bit and 32bit should work with Windows 7 and later (last tested version is Windows 10). No recent tests have been performed on Windows XP or older.

JSL should work with any JVM fom Java 1.2 onwards as the JNI interfaces used to launch the JVM has been standardized by Sun early on. JSL has been tested with OpenJDK based JDKs like Azul Zulu, and Oracle's JDK. JSL has also been used with IBMs J9.
