Tmp issues with java service on windows 2008 service

I am having a rather nasty problem with windows 2008 server. We have a java application that is running as a service using the local services user. The problem is this user开发者_运维技巧 does not have access to read/write to the specified java tmp directory (specified by the system). This means that every time the application tries to create a tmp file an IOException is thrown.

Is there any way to make a java application that need access to the tmp directory run as a service without:

Is there a reason you can't give the 'NT AUTHORITY\LocalService' account permissions to write to Java's default temp directory?

From http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0484.html

The location of the directory used to hold temporary files is defined by the property java.io.tmpdir.
The default value can be changed with the command line used to launch the JVM :

java -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\mydir  myClass

or , on Windows, you can set the environment variable TMP to a different value.
