tomcat as Windows service - access to resources
I'm running Tomcat 5.0 on Windows 2000. I logon to Windows as user1 and I have a mapped drive G: that requires separate login (I user the same user name and password, so it automatically logs in). (1) If I login as user1 and start Tomcat from the start script, I can access drive G: from a servlet. (2) If I login as user1 and run Tomcat as a Windows service, I don't have access to G: from a servlet. Even if I change the service property using user1 to log on, I still don't have access to G: from a servlet. Is there a workaround? Is it because when you run tomcat as a service, user1 is not the owner of the process even if you use user1 as log on? Thanks.

Processes that run as services don't load the user profile of the user, they just take on the user's network identity. Amongst other things, the profile stores drive mappings. This means that no service (to my knowledge) gets any drive mappings. A typical workaround is to use the UNC name of the mapped drive. - Peter - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: tomcat as Windows service - access to resources
I did a test using \\computer\dir\mydir instead of a mapping G:. I still have the same behavior. Is there any other reason?

RE: tomcat as Windows service - access to resources
I escaped them. It's working if tomcat started from a script. The servlet cannot see the directory as a java File. Testing for file.exist() returns false.

Testing for file.exist() returns false. So your path within your servlet looks like: computer\\dir\\mydir (Note the four back slashes at the beginning)? And this is while the service is running under the user account? IS the User Account a domain account? Again posting details will help a lot, posting a snippet of code isn't that hard.

RE: tomcat as Windows service - access to resources
(1) a property is set: cops.monitoredDirectory.win=dove\\copsxml\\Final
(2) It's then loaded into a Configuration class
(3) It's then passed as a parameter: pathname and the following code is run:
try {
File file = new File(pathname);
if (file.exists() file.canRead()) {
watchedFilesVec.add(file);
logger.info(add monitored directory
+ file.getAbsolutePath());
} else {
if (file.exists()) {
logger.warn(file.getAbsolutePath() + exist but cannot read);
} else {
logger.warn(file.getAbsolutePath() + not exist);
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
logger.error(addWatchedFile(String pathname)
+ e);
}
No Rrror or Exception as file.exists() returns false. It's just not seeing the
directory.
log file output:
2005-04-07 12:09:50,171 DEBUG (ArticleMonitor.java:117) - addWatchedFile(String
pathname) start
2005-04-07 12:09:50,187 WARN (ArticleMonitor.java:133) - \\dove\copsxml\Final
not exist
2005-04-07 12:09:50,187 DEBUG (ArticleMonitor.java:163) - addWatchedFile(String
pathname) end
