Thanks a million for that. It sound like exactly what I need. I also found this website which gives a way of registering the Tomcat service. I added the switches to it and that seems to work also, though it is aimed at Tomcat 4 users and yours seems to be particularly for Tomcat 5 users?
The website is here: http://www.prabhums.org/wordpress/index.php/archives/2004/05/03/run-tomcat-as-a-windows-service/ I modified it's command slightly to get it to work for me (I didn't have the right .dll in the right place). This works for me. set SECURITY_POLICY_FILE=%CATALINA_BASE%\conf\catalina.policy %CATALINA_HOME%\bin\tomcat -install "Apache Tomcat" "%JAVA_HOME%\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll" -Djava.class.path="%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\bootstrap.jar;%JAVA_HOME%\libtools.jar" -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy=="%SECURITY_POLICY_FILE%" -Dcatalina.home="%CATALINA_HOME%" -Xrs -start org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap -params start -stop org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap -params stop -out "%CATALINA_HOME%\logs\stderr.log" Andoni. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ken Pawliw Newsgroups: gmane.comp.jakarta.tomcat.user Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 8:14 PM Subject: RE: How to use -security when running as a service under Windows. The Tomcat Windows distibution has an executable named tomcat5w.exe in the bin directory.

Hi, That's fine, but where do I add these when I am not running Catalina.bat? Or are you saying that tomcat.exe is just calling catalina.bat?

Thanks to Bill Barker who supplied me with this advice a couple of weeks ago... Actually, what you need to do is to add to the Java Options section: -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy==C:\path\to\tomcat\conf\catalina.policy If you look in catalina.bat, you will see that this is what the script is actually doing when you run it with the '-security' option.

You're going from OpenVMS to Windows?!?!? WHY? Why go from the most secure system on the planet to the most exposed?

Hello, I am currently running Tomcat under OpenVMS by calling catalina.bat with the -security switch to allow it to connect to several RMI servers. Now that I am moving this app. to windows I want to be able to call the same switch from my service-driven installation of Tomcat 4.1. Unfortunately when I go to the properties of the service itself everything is greyed out so that I cannot add any switches. Also the program it is running is /bin/tomcat.exe. What can I do to get this to run with -security option? Thanks in advance, Andoni. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
