There could be a few things here. If I execute a net use command at the command prompt on my system, it responds: "New connections will not be remembered. There are no entries in the list." (And I have no mapped drives.) Even if the current logged in user is the same user as running the service, they are different sessions, so normally the mappings would be different. If you log in as the service account and map some drives, those mappings are not accessible to Tomcat through the service account. It is possible that if you have mapped drives remembered in a roaming profile that is used by the service account, those mappings would be available to the service account, but I do not believe that service accounts normally load any profile information. Are you sure that you are not using UNCs (i.e., \\servername\sharename) to access the network shares, or are you mapping the shares within your Tomcat application? Do you map any drives prior to starting Tomcat from a batch file? Please share with us how you establish your mappings for Tomcat, both for the service start and the batch file start, if different.
