Can a Java service read parameters from a regular ini file? I have an application that can be run manually or as a service. The program reads and writes to an ini file but I do not know how to do it through a service because it does no find the file. The ini files is in the same folder as the executable program.
Thanks.

Hi,
You should set the working directory for the application by setting the "user.dir" property to the [APPDIR] property. You can do this by adding a new JVM parameter from "Virtual Machine" tab in the "Java Products" page like this:
Name=user.dir
Value=[APPDIR].
The user.dir property is used by Java to resolve the path of the application when running as a service.

Gigi
