Re: Problems running as an NT Service
All, Thanks for the suggestions. I found my problem. Here is a short synopsis in case anyone else runs into this. Assuming the problem was security related, I moved my servlet into it's own context and added rules to tomcat.policy for the permissions I needed. I checked the SecurityManager.checkRead(String fileName) and I had the needed access... It turned out that in the process of configuring wrapper.properties I changed the order of the jars in my classpath. I am using Xalan 2 and ended up with the wrong parser being instantiated. Re-order the classpath and everything is ok! Thanks for the suggestions. -Chris. --- Daniel Einspanjer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just one quick idea..

Re: Problems running as an NT Service
What error are you getting? FIle not found? Security error? Not found would be a path problem. Security error would be more related to the java.policy of the user you are running under. Is the file on a mounted drive? (service can't access these). etc. Frank Lawlor Athens Group, Inc.

Problems running as an NT Service
I have a servlet that works fine when running TomCat from a command line. When I attempt to run the servlet as a service, my servlet can not open files for read access that it could open when running under TomCat from the command line... I have read the archives for similar issues, and have tried to set up my service Run As user to have access to the files. I must be missing something or am completely brain dead.

More Information, was Problems running as an NT Service
Here are some additional facts that may help diagnose the problem. - I have made sure that the user my service is running as has access to the directories and files I need to read. - My servlet is running in the ROOT context in the webapps directory. Not for any good reason except I have been too lazy to create my own context. Need to learn how to do that... - The files I am trying to read are in a different directory than the ROOT context I am running in. - As I understand it, TomCat grants a servlet file permissions in the directories under the context it is running in. Note however I don't have any problems accessing these files when running TomCat from the command line. Are different policies enforced when runnning as service vs. running from command line? - Finally, is it possible to allow my servlet in the ROOT context access to files/directories located elsewhere? Either way I need to figure out these context beasties but this exercise is helping me learn some things. TIA, -Chris.
