Joeri, I think, a mapped drive can't be used for running as a service. The mappings aren't seen by services because noone is "logged in" so no login script runs.

Use this or you'll get funny problems from UNC names and file access.

You might also need to use UNC paths instead of drive mappings. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 5:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Unable to access shared network drives with Tomcat service Hi, I am running Tomcat 4.1.27 as a Windows service in the Windows XP operating system. I have a problem accessing network shared drives from within my servlets and JSP-pages. For instance, if "S" is a mapped drive pointing to something like a shared network drive "\\shared_server\shared_drive", then this scriplet returns "false": <% java.io.File file = new java.io.File("S:/test.txt"); boolean exists = file.exists(); out.print("exists: " + exists); %> The file "test.txt" does exist, but Tomcat does not see the shared drive. Running Tomcat in command line mode (no service) does work! I assume this has something to do with Windows network security? Can anybody help me?
