Just give whatever account the service is executing on "run as a service" rights as well as specifying the local machine on the share with the correct rights.

If so, it won't be able to access network drives, since those are associated specifically with your Windows account. Don't know if there's a way to do a permanent mount for all users, including whatever account Tomcat is running under. You might be able to do it with a UNC name rather than a drive letter, but I haven't tried it. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
