Re: Mapped File Access Problems in Servlets
I am not running in a domain, my servers are running in a workgroup only, and the machine tomcat 5.5 is running on is logged into an administrator account. It appears that it sees the mapped drives because if I try to access a file that is not available, I get the proper JAVA message. When I try to access an existing file, I get a java.io.FileNotFoundException filename (Access is Denied). The same user and password exists on the other machine which is why I can map the drive. I tried a simple experiment and wrote a 5 line JAVA program and this accessed the drive just fine, but when I put those 5 lines in the servlet, I got the access denied. How do I change the configuration in the tomcat service to allow it to see other computers? Thanks, Dan Gross, ATLC Mark Thomas wrote: Daniel L.

Thanks, Dan Gross ATLC This comes down to the Windows user Tomcat is running as. You need to make sure that that user has the necessary access to the network drives. If you are running as a service, the default user for services has zero privs on other machines. Usually what is required is to configure the service to log on as a domain user that has the necessary access.

Re: Mapped File Access Problems in Servlets
I just tried changing the login configuration to log onto the administrator account, and I still get access denied. Any thoughts??? Thanks, Dan Gross, ATLC Mark Thomas wrote: Daniel L.

You don't change the service configuration (unless you run Tomcat as some other user -- which isn't a bad idea). Instead, you give the requisite privileges to the effective user account under which Tomcat runs. - -chris -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGztPl9CaO5/Lv0PARAoqjAKCvvwoZuk5T7W91CEMYjGszNQpSjQCgjpFS pPWX0gtxSYA9Q6tdQv34ysc= =Nzc+ -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Mapped File Access Problems in Servlets
Thanks for all your help, I found out the problem. It was the service privilege running under the local machine. The default tomcat icon at the bottom of the screen that allows you to configure and start/stop tomcat would not let me change the user it ran under. However, I was able to change the user to Administrator under the windows services window and I can start and stop tomcat there as well. Again, thanks for your quick responses, got me out of a tight Jam. Dan Gross, ATLC Mark Thomas wrote: Daniel L. Gross wrote: I have a servlet that does a direct read from a mapped drive in Windows.

From: Daniel L. Gross [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mapped File Access Problems in Servlets However, I need to access a mapped drive on a different machine. When I run the program, I get a FileNotFound error in JAVA and (access denied) next to it. Are you running Tomcat as a Windows service? If so, the drive mappings that you've specified for your account are likely not available to the service account. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
