yes, it's jdk 1.4.x im using. unfortunately i cannot relay to that an xvfb is installed on the server, since it's up to the hosting company. so i would prefer if i could solve this problem in some other manner. thanks anyway :) -----Original Message----- From: Achilleus Mantzios [mailto:achill@matrix.gatewaynet.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 14:23 To: Fredrick Nilsson Cc: freebsd-java@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: tomcat - java.awt - headless On Wed, 15 Jan 2003, Fredrick Nilsson wrote: > hi, > > im trying to use java.awt and javax.swing classes in tomcat that runs on a > "X-less" server.

For jdk 1.3.x (that definetaly needs X) a good solution is X Virtual Frame Buffer (xvfb). You run it like : % Xvfb :1 -screen 0 800x600x24 & and then in your tomcat/jboss/jetty (your favorite app server) start up script you add export DISPLAY=unix:1.0 (i use server side awt, with no problem, xvfb actually gets graphics drawn faster than X running on a real graphics card) > > this is what i have tested. > > enviroment variables: > > both JAVA_OPTS and CATALINA_OPTS set to -Djava.awt.headless=true (tested > both individually and together) > > code: > > System.setProperty("java.awt.headless", "true"); > > none of these methods works 100%, during my tests, it works from time to > time, but i cant recreate so that it will work allways. is there anybody > else that have had the same problems, and if then, what was the solution? > > .f > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message > ================================================================== Achilleus Mantzios S/W Engineer IT dept Dynacom Tankers Mngmt Nikis 4, Glyfada Athens 16610 Greece tel: +30-10-8981112 fax: +30-10-8981877 email: achill@matrix.gatewaynet.com mantzios@softlab.ece.ntua.gr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
