Re: [Wrapper-user] Confusion about Windows PATH variable

[Hubert F. <Hub...@ab...>]

Did you try:

wrapper.java.library.path.append_system_path=3Dtrue

in the config file?

I installed a service using a local account (namely Administrator for =
testing purposes) and have experienced that afterwards calling

System.getEnv().get("PATH")
(or a system call "set %PATH%" from within my Java application)

returns only the PATH variable exactly as defined in the Administrator's =
variables - whereas I would have expected the standard Windows behavior of =
appending Administrator's PATH to the system PATH.
Can anyone tell me why this happens when using the service wrapper? Or is =
this the default Windows behavior when starting any service using a local =
user account?

The problem resulting for my app is that it makes an external system call =
to a batch file of a third-party product which, in turn, expects java.exe =
to be on the PATH. Now when I start my Java application manually everything=
 runs fine (since "C:\Windows\system32" is on the (global system) PATH and =
JRE copies its java.exe there) but using the service wrapper it fails =
because the batch file started from within my Java app cannot locate =
java.exe on the PATH (which is now cut down to the Administrator user =
PATH).

While I could, of course, include the java home dir to the user PATH or =
modify the batch file telling it where to find java, I would not really =
want to do this since it implies yet another adjustment to make on any =
system where my application will be installed.

Any help is appreciated.
