JFreeChart fails on Linux works on windows

[Sul Durrani]

A jsp file which draws a pie chart using JFreeChart works on windows
but fails on Linux. The exception that I get on Linux is:
javax.ServletException: Can't connect to X11 window server using
'machineName:0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

We don't have xwindows installed on the Linux machine.

If you have encountered this problem or have any suggestions
I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

Andreas,

Thanks for the reply it solved a lot of problems.

One of the solutions:
System.setProperty("java.awt.headless","true");

makes it all work!

Hi Sul,
yes, the property java.awt.headless works - but only with jdk 1.4.0 or later, as far as I know. But I did not know which one you HAVE to use. e.g. bea webservers have their own implemetation of the API, but version 1.3.1 (of course...). See the problem ?
