[Wrapper-user] Service access System.getProperty("user.home")

[Frank F C. <ff...@ny...>]

I have a Java program in which I'm calling System.getProperty("user.home"); to get the user's home directory.  This would give me something like C:\Users\username (on Vista).

I've connected it to the wrapper and when I run the App.bat file, everything is still fine, but when I install the program as a service and try to start it in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services, then it returns an error.  In the log that was created, I see that System.getProperty("user.home") suddenly gives C:\ instead of my home directory.

Does anyone know why this is and how to solve this problem?

Thanks!
