System.getProperty("user.name") returns SYSTEM when run on Apache Tomcat

843834Dec 30 2008 — edited Dec 30 2008
On my machine I get my Windows username when I use the java statement -
System.getProperty("user.name")

But on our development server (Apache Tomcat 5.5 ) I get back SYSTEM.

Can anyone suggest a remedy?

I tried calling a .java file from JSP but still i am getting it as SYSTEM. I am trying to deploy it on my website but when others are accesing it. It gives a message like "Welcome SYSTEM"!!

Please help me out. Awaiting for responses.
