Generating image without X11 server on AIX server

Hi,

i'm on AIX 5.1ML7 using websphere 5.1.2 with IBM JDK 1.4.

I'm getting this error when non X Server is running :

java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

I've read that the solution is to run a virtual frame buffer X Server, which is describe here :

http://publibn.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link ... Header_363

But I need more detail as i'm just a software engineer that do not have root access to the AIX server.

Does anybody knows the way to do this?

I've also read that setting this parameter should solve the problem with no need installing a VFB

-Djava.awt.headless=true

As i can't set this kind of jvm paramter right now, i've tried this :

System.setProperties("java.awt.headless","true");

But it didn't work.

Passing the -Djava.awt.headless=true parameter at JVM startup works
