Run JRubyOnRails App as a windows service

I try to manage to deploy a JRuby on Rails App as a windows service using Mongrel as Application server. With Ruby this is straight forward using the gem mongrel_service (see http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/wiki/Win32) but the jruby mongrel does not support this feature. Has anybody an idea how to manage this with JRuby? Thanks in advance!

SRVINSTW.EXE from Windows Resource Kit

One way to do it is with SRVINSTW.EXE from Windows Resource Kit. You
can make a service out of any executable this way.

Here is a page describing how to do it (this one is for Instiki, but it doesn't really matter):

Sorry that this solution is not as straight forward as the ruby way.
But it works i run my apps that way.
