Re: [Wrapper-user] files touched by things using JSW?

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Mark,
The Java Service Wrapper, like all applciations, will be run as the 
current user when
run as a console app, or a standalone application. When run as a 
service, they will be
run as the SYSTEM account. I think this is what you are seeing. If you 
look at the
task manger while the service is running, you will see that both the 
wrapper.exe and
java.exe processes are running as SYSTEM.

You can control this by using the wrapper.ntservice.account and password
properties to run as a specific account.

Also note that the SYSTEM user will not have access to network drives, 
but that
non-SYSTEM users will not be able to interact with the desktop.

Cheers,
Leif
