Hi all,

I have a web application that uses Runtime.exec() to start a process. The process that I'm starting is in the system path. The application works fine if I'm running the Tomcat platform independent package. However, if I use the Tomcat Windows service, it appears that the process can't be created because it can't be found. It works if I specify the fully qualified path the the executable, but, I want to use only a relative path. I'm wondering if the fact that it appears to be ignoring the system path has to do with the fact that it's a Windows service, or, if it's an issue with Tomcat?

I'm running Tomcat 5.5.20 with Sun JDK 1.5.0_10 and Windows XP SP2. Also, I noticed that if I change the user account that the Tomcat service is supposed to run as using the system tray applet, it doesn't change the settings, it just keep reverting back to LocalSystem.

Has anyone else ran into either of these issues. As far as I can tell, the second issue looks like a bug.

Also, I tried setting java.library.path using the applet, but, that didn't seem to help.

Jon
