Also, I did mean service.bat. It is part of JBoss Native. You still have not said how you go about running as a service, if you use JBoss Native or some other tool to do that. It is better to change service.bat that run.bat because you might at some later time run run.bat manually and then wonder why it is not picking up the JAVA_HOME setting that you made on the command line.
