I have a java app (which I made windows service using nnsm) that sets up sockets on localhost. When a message is received by that app it opens internet explorer.

When I run the app using cmd (e.g java -jar myServer.jar) it works as expected. An internet explorer instance starts.

When the app is being set up as a windows service and receives a message, it opens internet explorer but I'm unable to see it (although it is visible in Task Manager). I want the process to start on the local system and be able to see it and interact with it

Any help or idea would be much appreciated.

Thanks

  • A service is isolated from the session of any other logged on user and cannot perform that type of interaction; IE is launching in the service's session, not yours. What would happen if there were 2 logged on users? Who would "win" IE? – Alex K. Mar 19 '18 at 17:42
  • Thanks, Alex. I bypassed the issue by making it a start-up application. Once the user starts the pc and logs in, the java-app starts to run and it works as expected – MadMaxPavlo Mar 21 '18 at 11:47
