Hey, When going to tomcat site, you can download "32-bit/64-bit Windows Service Installer<http://off.co.il/apache/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.32/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.32.exe> " That's what I have installed. When installing this, it creates the tomcat service in windows + the regular folder under c:\program files\apache software foundation\Tomcat 6.0. The tomcat service (on windows) ran with local system, and the connection URL (of the DB) is specified under "c:\program files\apache software foundation\tomcat 6.0\conf\catalina\localhost\*.xml" In this xml file, along with the connection URL to DB, there is also the user name and password of the user that have access to the DB, in clear text. In order for me to remove the user and password, I have changed the user that runs the tomcat service to a domain user with access and permissions to DB, placed the jdts-1.2.5.jar in the tomcat 6.0\lib folder and the ntlmauth.dll (which is essential for the windows authentication to work) in c:\windows\system32.
Now the tomcat service is running and authenticates to the DB with a domain user (and not SQL user), but I have this memory leak as a side affect which I'm trying (with, hopefully, the help of you guys) to resolve.
