Java Programming

I am developing an application with a GUI (let's call that app, GUI-APP) that will launch other Java applications (lets call that "DataCapture") on a Tablet PC running Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, Service Pack 2. This application was installed as a Windows Service using the Java Service Wrapper.

The DataCapture applications was developed using AWT, and if it is run as a single application, with a batch file invoking the java command (i.e: java -classpath=D:\example\Hello.jar Hello) there are no problems with the InputPanel, I can use every option.

But if the Application is called from the GUI-APP, the Input Panel starts to fail. I see some flickering on the Input Panel beeing used as Virtual Keyboard, if I change to any of the Handwriting recognition mode, not a single letter or word recognized is sent to the field.

I used an Exec procedure to call the DataCapture application batch script, oand I also called the Main method of the main class of the DataCapture application, and I guet the same problem.

I tested to execute the GUI-APP application as a stand alone application (not as a service), and it runs ok, no problem with the Input Panel.

The problem arises when this GUI-APP is executed as a service with the Java Service Wrapper.

Anyone had a similar problem to that? or perhaps know what I can be doing wrong?

Thanks.
