Hi All
I have a tomcat service which when runs with local account and is allowed
to interact with desktop is not able to access network resources
but If I start this service with a username it cannot interact with the
desktop.
Is it possible that both these features can be accessed simultaneously?
I mean I need a tomcat service which can interact with desktop and can
access network resources
First of all, I find Andre, Chris, and David's responses very interesting.
My two cents (my experience and/or requirement).
1. Never ran/used tomcat6
2. I have been using tomcat7 as a Windows Service on Windows Server 2003
and then moved from Windows Server 2003 32-bit to Windows Server 2008 R2
64-bit.
3. Never really had the need for service to interact with desktop, except
for the basic need to start/stop tomcat7 and/or adjust the properties of
the service. tomcat7w.exe definitely fulfills this requirement of mine!!!
4. The Windows 2003 server is already the domain server/controller, and the
network shared drives are there...if i need to access shared/network
resources. Also, HP printer driver/software was installed 'already' (prior
to development of the web app running via tomcat7), so when time came for
'silent printing', i found some java code that performs silent printing
well, that scans the list of printers on the Windows Server 2003, and
allows me to print (PDF document) to any one of those printers.
5. Now, I do have some plans or future requirements that I'd like to
address immediately, where I am pushing data to QuickBooks; there is a
QuickBooks data file still hosted on the Windows Server 2003 and the
Windows Server 2008 is 'not' on the domain, but can talk to the rest of the
network via tcp/ip. Also, i'm aware that QuickBooks has QuickBooks Online,
qbXML, etc..., and I'm considering those options to push data to QuickBooks
instead of accessing 'network resources'. Okay, it may be a quicker
response-time to access local area network resources than push data to WAN.
Not really a concern of mine, since the app is already pushing data to
Google Calendar, successfully, reliably, and in a manner that performs
quite well, too..especially, since good hardware and network connection is
'now' in place. :)
Thank you for sharing your comments and your experience.
But.. do you have a question ?
If yes, it may be better to start a new thread, with a new subject. The original OP may
not like you hijacking his very line of enquiry.
