When I start the Servoy 6 application server on Mac the <com.servoy.j2db.server.main.ApplicationServer> is activated in the Finder!? I also can see this as Process Name in the Activity Monitor instead of ‘java’.
I had this never before. The Servoy app server should only run in the background, or?
Now I made a complete new clean install of Servoy 6 Application Server on the Macs. In the Servoy All-In-One installer I have unselected the Application Server and Setup Service staff and the installation finished successful without warnings. Also the servoy_server is now starting as expected and the smart-clients are running well.
I quess all the Server Service installation files makes trouble on the Mac. I have created the servoy_server launch function like in Servoy 5 and it is working well, so I don’t need this packages.

Hi Thomas,
I have Servoy 6 server running with the services option on Lion without any issues so I wonder what really happend.
Hi Robert,
what shall I say, it’s not my first installation and I also wonder why do I have this identical issues on two different machines.
Ok, the Mac OSX is 10.6 not 10.7 like yours, but this should not be the problem. If I try to install the Servoy Application Server with selected services options, I get first an error about
“/bin/chmod a+x /Applications/Servoy/application_server/service/install_service.sh”
and a hint in the installer window that the installation wasn’t successful.
However, it seems that all files are on the disk… or perhaps not? I have read your answers in this topic http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16931#p91512 but in the end an all-in-one installer should work without such issues.
Do I start now the servoy server from the Terminal, the <com.servoy.j2db.server.main.ApplicationServer> is activated in the Finder and the Dock. I don’t know why this can happen. The brand new installations without the services options fixed the issues.
I could find out that starting the Process <com.servoy.j2db.server.main.ApplicationServer> has to do with the setting of the “-Djava.awt.headless” to false!
If it is set to ‘true’ (default) the server is starting normal/as expected without the active Process in the Finder.
I have set the “-Djava.awt.headless” to false because of the issue in this topic: http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=16989
