Stopping Java service in win2k

I've got a Java program that I've packaged up as a service using AI 2.2, and I'm having a problem where the service refuses to acknowledge a 'stop' signal under Windows 2000. Oddly enough, though, the service appears to stop without problems under WinXP.

Has anyone else noticed this sort of problem?

If you could you isolate the Java class responsible with starting and stopping the service, then build a minimal Java app and MSI package that can reproduce the problem, send it to us and we will see what is going on.

Sorry, I ended up finding the cause of the problem. I managed to overlook one of the loops when I was revising the code to run as a service, and it just happened to be that this is the loop where the two win2k test machines spent most of their time.

Thanks for the response, though -- sorry to waste your time.
