hi guys I am trying to get tomcat 5.0 to use the security manager and catalina.policy when running as a windows service. This works fine when I run it from startup.bat using the normal "set CMD_LINE_ARGS= -security" method. However I cant find any documentation - either on the tomcat site or on the web - on how to tell it to use the security manager when starting it up as a windows service. So far I'v experimented with the following, using the 'Configure Tomcat UI' which I assume is the correct place to start when running as a service.
* If I add "-security" after 'start' in the arguments field on the startup tab, I get a message telling me the service started and then stopped. * If I try adding "-security" to the java options tab on the 'Configure Tomcat UI, I get a message telling me simply that tomcat will not start. * If I try adding the line "-Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.0\conf\catalina.policy" to the java options tab then tomcat starts, but a bit of experimentation with the permissions in catalina.policy suggests that it isnt actually using it - even if I remove essential permissions the application can still access the relevant files. Can anyone tell me the correct procedure for ensuring the security manager is used and catalina.policy referred to when running as a service in 5.0? It is running on both XP and Windows 2000 platforms Cheers peri ************************************************************************** Experience the British Library online at www.bl.uk Help the British Library conserve the world's knowledge.
