It seems the problem with this lies with JRE1.4. When we loaded 1.3 and ran it, it worked. Anyone know of a workaround for the exec method hanging when using JRE 1.4 (besides using 1.3).

I have a command-line utility I am running that converts files into PDF. Here is the line we're using to run the program: Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c C:\\BatchPDF.exe "+rtfFile.getAbsolutePath()+" "+pdfFile.getAbsolutePath()); The problem is, it only runs if Tomcat was started from the startup.bat file. If Tomcat is running as a service, which is how we want it, it does not run. We set up Tomcat to run under administrator with no luck. We are guessing this is a file permissions problem, either from running it as a Windows service or with Tomcat itself. Any ideas would be appreciated.
