Different behavior between Tomcat service installation & Tomcat console mode

[Alexandre Terrasson <al...@gmail.com>]

Hi guys,
here my problem :

I have a web application that use a Jdbc driver/connection to connect to a
proprietary application.
I did my developments and tests on a Tomcat 6.0.32 with scripts startup
(startup.bat) and all works fine. But when I tried to test the web app on
the production server where a Tomcat 6.0.32 is installed as a service, it
don't work ....

I don't get a ClassNotFoundException, the class of the driver is well
configured, but I don't know, may be not really well loaded.

What intrigate me is why the two ways of using Tomcat has not the same
behavior ? And how to acquieve that the service mode having the same way of
working as the script ways (console mode) ?
I tend to say that could be a problem of classpath but don't really know ...

I'm working on Windows 7 x64 or Windows Server 2008 x64 with Apache Tomcat
x86 in Service mode or scripts mode (console mode). I have no "classpath"
environment variable, and use a Jdk 1.6.0_19.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)

Alex.

1. What exactly is in the logs?
2. Where is your driver JAR located?  Is is a thin driver (only a JAR)?
3. Note that the service is by default executed in a service account
with limited privileges. It is fine in most cases but sometimes you
may want to configure it to run as a specific user.
4. Firewalls.

5. You can use bat files from any zip distributive to start Tomcat in a console.

Hi,

thanks guys, I finally resolved the problem, thanks to Mladen Turk : I tried
to run the service with my local account (which is a admin account) instead
of the Local Service account and it works!!

Thansk guys for your help :)

So you must ensure that LOCAL_SERVICE account has access both to the
registry and to the files in the folder where odbc .dlls are installed
Might even require modifying System Environment PATH

You can try running the service with Administrator account
or the one you are using wen running in console mode
(given that it has permission to 'Run As a Service') and
then search for the permission problems or missing variables
for the local service account.

Hi, thanks guys,

@Konstantin Kolinko :
1/ In the log, the error I get is a SQLException : Listener Error. I got
this only with service version of Tomcat, not with the console mode, that's
my problem ...
2/ The Jar of my driver is located in the Tomcat lib folders. The driver is
not only a jar, I had to installed it as an odbc source, with some dll and
some entries in windows registry.
3/ I'm admin on the machine where Tomcat is installed so I don't think is a
rights problem.
4/ Problem is still present while firewalls are off.
5/ Yes, but I would like to use Tomcat as a service, so I can configured it
to restart automatically at startup. Moreover, I don't know how to configure
logs file with the console mode of Tomcat ... but I'll go this way if I
don't find another solution.

@ld20349
Yes the two configuration are exactly the sames.

Alex.

Are the two tomcat configurations the same? Check the
server.xml,web.xml,context.xml and other configuration files of the
tomcat.
