Thanks for your response. Part of the problem has been solved by giving a domain account to tomcat service.
The second access problem, quite strange is with a virtual directory in IIS. The domain account should cover this location. Tomcat and IIS communicate through ISAPI Tomcat Redirector. The problem: - A servlet receives a request, - then it forwards it to the application which writes files to this virtual directory using a network address. It seems to work ok when I use a local path (d:\) as opposed to network address, but it's not very useful. - Finally the http opens the file in the browser. The problem seems to start in the actual writing of the file to the virtual directory. Why does it work with a local path and not a network path? Is there any configuration either in IIS or Tomcat which I'm missing?
