Is it possible run XWiki as a Windows Service??

Version 3.2 by Vincent Massol on 2012/03/28

XWiki is just a web application that runs in a Servlet Container. Thus, "running XWiki as a Windows Service" means running the Container as a Windows Service.

Almost all Servlet Containers support running as a Service. 

Here are some tools that can run any Java application as a Service:

And here are some links to run a specific container as a Service:

For how to install XWiki into a Servlet Container, see the WAR Installation Guide.

Information

XWiki also provides a standalone distribution with a pre-bundled Servlet Container (Jetty). This distribution is not meant to be used in production (for example for the database used is Hypersonic SQL which is not a production-ready database). The Servlet Engine is also not configured for production use. This standalone distribution is not meant to be executed as a Windows Service.
