Apache Tomcat Web Server - How to connect the web server to a windows file share
We are migration from a linux tomcat v5.5 install to a windows tomcat v 7.0.33 install. The Windows tomcat server runs on a Windows 2008 R2 server. IIS is not installed.
On the linux server this command is used to mount a windows file system in linux. It mounts the file system at server startup.
mount -t cifs -o username=samba,password=pa
The linux based application running on Tomcat stores files on a Windows File server using the above mount point. Right now the Windows File server holds about 45 GB of files.
Now that the application is moving to a windows based tomcat platform, how do i configure the windows server to make the same type of connection the linux server makes? I prefer not to move the file locally to the new Window's tomcat server.

Our plan now is to make the linux user which mounts the CIF connections now, the user which starts the tomcat service.
Hopefully that will be sufficient.
Thank you for your comments.
