Problem: I have a web application running under Tomcat using the Oracle ADF framework. When the application is installed as a service under Windows, it outputs cache files in mass to \WINDOWS\system32\ Needless to say, this doesn’t make the system administrators happy.

Solution Under Linux: This problem is avoided by starting the application with a working directory of <application.root>\temp Then, these ADF cache files get dumped there. The following snip-it does the trick:

pushd "$CATALINA_BASE"/temp > /dev/null
exec "$EXECUTABLE" start "$@"
popd > /dev/null


CATALINA_BASE: <application.root>

EXECUTABLE: <tomcat.home>/bin/catalina.sh

Solution Under Windows: Unknown at this point, please provide feedback.
