By default, the CentraSite installation procedure installs the CentraSite Application Server Tier on Software AG Runtime. You can configure your Software AG Runtime environment by adding or modifying Java Service Wrapper properties. The Java Service Wrapper is an application developed by Tanuki Software, Ltd. It is a utility program that launches the JVM in which CentraSite runs.

In addition, the Java Service Wrapper offers features for monitoring the JVM, logging console output, and generating thread dumps. The following sections describe how CentraSite uses the features of the Java Service Wrapper. For an overview of the Java Service Wrapper, see the webMethods cross-product document, Software AG Infrastructure Administrator's Guide.
