Hi,
I have run into an issue related to starting tomcat as a service. When
we were starting tomcat from the command line, we were able to just say
System.getProperty("user.name" ) to retrieve the logged in user id. But
now that we start tomcat using a service, the get property call returns
"SYSTEM".
I saw all the other answers, but I would just like to point out clearky
that what you mention above is *normal*.
System.getProperty("user.name") will return "SYSTEM" when you start
Tomcat as a service under Windows, because "SYSTEM" is the user name
under which Tomcat then starts.
Right-click on the "My computer" icon, then "Manage.." then "services
and applications", then "services".
Locate the Tomcat service in the list on the right, and right-click on
it, choose "Properties". The second tab shows under which user-id the
Tomcat Service is started. By default, it will say something like
"LocalSystem" (which is an alias for "SYSTEM"). That is the user-id
under which the service is running.
In the same tab, you can change it, and set it to the user-id you want.
Now, if you want to run Tomcat as a different user each time someone
logs on to the laptop, that's a different story, for which you already
got tips from other people.
