Starting NexJ Server on Windows

You can start NexJ Server using a batch file. Starting NexJ Server runs NexJ applications that are deployed on the server.

To start NexJ Server:

Open a Command Prompt window using the Run As Administrator option.
Run the following command from the SERVER_HOME/bin directory:
```
modeld.bat -i [-dm] [-X] [-D] [NexJ Server options]
```
Note: NexJ Server options require a space between the option and option value. JVM options do not require a space. Additionaly, values that contain a space must be enclosed in quotation marks.
Where the following options are supported:

-d number

Enables remote debugging on the specified port number, for example, -d 7777.

-m number

Sets the heap size, for example, -m 1024M or -m 1G.

-Xargument

Specifies additional JVM options that can be passed to the JVM to overwrite batch file defaults. For example, use -Xss4096k to change the default thread stack size.

-Dproperty

Specifies properties to pass through to the application. For example, use -Dnexj.ajp.port=8509 to set the AJP Port to 8509.

The start command accepts the following NexJ Server options:

-c url

Path to the node configuration file, for example, -c SERVER_HOME\modeld.conf.
