I don't know the reason but amongst other things to research are which JVM you end up using in either scenario. It appears that the default with Sun's JDK is that starting from a CMD.EXE prompt results in the client JVM being selected by default, whereas starting as a service uses the server JVM instead. Your issues may be related to this.
I also highly recommend you consider upgrading from JDK 1.4.0 to the latest JDK, 1.4.2_03. There are numerous bug fixes between where you are and where the JDK is today, as well as performance optimizations. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > We are running a newly developed Java app on Tomcat 4.1.2.7 with JDK > 1.4.0 > and using Struts 1.1.
