Jakarta NT Service and -security

[Scot Marburger <sj...@sandia.gov>]

I'm trying to use Jakarta NT Service to launch Tomcat at system 
startup. I've written a servlet that runs under JDK 1.3.1 that will 
run fine if Tomcat is launched from a command prompt using the 
startup.bat batch file with the -security option:
startup -security

The servlet reads a configuration file from the directory in which it 
resides, does socket I/O with another machine on the network, and 
also communicates via RMI with a third computer.

The servlet throws security exceptions if Tomcat is launched without 
the -security option.

My challenge is to alter the wrapper.properties file to cause the 
-security option to be invoked when Tomcat is launched as an NT 
service.

I've tried modifying the wrapper.properties file as follows, but no luck:
wrapper.security=-Djava.security.manager 
-Djava.security.policy=$(wraper.tomcat_home)\conf\tomcat.policy

and then

wrapper.cmd_line=$(wrapper.javabin) $(wrapper.security) -classpath ...

My guess is I'm making a syntax error in setting up the command line. 
Or, stepping back a bit further, why is the servlet throwing security 
exceptions without the -security option (maybe because of the 
JKD1.3.1 security manager and file/socket I/O)?

My guess is that this is a fairly straight forward thing to try to 
do, but the docs in the jakarta-tomcat download don't seem to address 
it.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Scot
