Tomcat 6 Windows service

tomcat6w.exe access denied

I installed Tomcat 6 at work the other day. The server is a windows server running our software. Most of the developers don't have admin access to it.

I installed tomcat as a service and choose to have it running at startup. It didn't take long before one of my fellow developers without admin access logged in and got this error message.

Very strange. He had full access to the Tomcat directory and tomcat6w.exe, the Tomcat monitor process that was giving him the error dialog. A colleague (thanks Oscar) pointed out that tomcat6w.exe probably was trying to contact the service. Of course! Since tomcat6w was running with the logged in user's privileges and the tomcat service was running as System the monitor program didn't have enough access.

Suggestion: don't install (I don't actually think I did that, so it might be automatic) the monitor program for people without access to the service.
