To Prevent Service Shutdown When a User Logs Out on Windows

By default, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) receives signals from Windows that indicate that Windows is shutting down, or that a user is logging out of Windows, which causes the system to shut itself down cleanly. This behavior causes the GlassFish Server service to shut down. To prevent the service from shutting down when a user logs out, you must set the -Xrs Java VM option.

1. Add the following line to the section of the as-install\domains\domain-name\config\domain.xml file that defines Java VM options:

   <jvm-options>-Xrs</jvm-options>

2. If the GlassFish Server service is running, restart the service for your changes to take effect.
