Pat, I do not think that will work for a service account. The drive mappings are stored in the user profile, and since I do not think service accounts access user profiles, the service account will not remap the drives when using the account to start a service (it will when you actually log in interactively with the account). You can try setting some custom environment variables in the user profile (not the system profile) and see if they are accessible by the service account using the set command as a test to see if mapping might be accessible. What you probably need to do is actually set the drive mappings using the Windows API dynamically when Tomcat starts, or use UNCs. I know you want to display the drive mappings, but you could fake the display by doing a net use >myfilemappings.txt from the command line (when logged into the account), and just calling the file to display the mappings. Obviously, if the mappings change, you would have to redo the file. I think those are your only options. You might want to do a Google search and see if there is a way for service accounts to use remembered mapped drives.
