PHP JavaBridge on Windows XP Pro

At the request of a supervisor who only programs in Java, I installed JavaBridge on an intranet web server running Apache 2.0.59 and PHP 5.1.6, and we've gotten a few PHP/Java applications up and running. Problem is, unless I'm having a senior moment, they only work if a user is logged into the server. Some Googling suggests that since Java, or the Java Virtual Machine, is not a service on Windows, it goes away when you log out, so there is nothing for the bridge connect to. Is this a reasonable understanding of the problem? Is there a solution other than keeping 'some' user logged in and the machine behind a locked door? I do manage some CentOS web servers here, but the IS guys really want me to use only RPM installs of PHP, and the Java module is not present as far as I can see. -- -David.
