I used a great post by Christopher Pierce as guide: http://blog.platinumsolutions.com/node/234
The program ran OK when I launched it from the command line console, but when I tried to run it as a Windows service with exactly the same configuration (jvm, classpath, etc.), the program failed with errors like these:

After some hours of searching, I found this bug:
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() == null when the program is runned by Prunsrv
I checked my program and this was the cause of my problem:
Running from Command line:
21/07/2010 12:44:05,281 - this.getClass().getClassLoader(): sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@e39a3e 21/07/2010 12:44:05,281 - Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(): sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@e39a3eRunning as service with Procrun:
21/07/2010 12:44:29,359 - this.getClass().getClassLoader(): sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@11b86e7
21/07/2010 12:44:29,359 - Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(): null
I applied the workaround described there, and my service is now working OK.
ClassLoader defaultClassLoader = APISalidaServicioWindows.class.getClassLoader(); Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(defaultClassLoader)
The configuration of the current configured Procrun Windows services can be edited/visualized in this Windows registry location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Apache Software Foundation/Procrun 2.0/(service name)/Parameters
