IPlanet FastTrack with xvfb

Hello java developers,

we are developing Java Servlets and Java ServerPages for big banks here in

germany.

There for we have installed a iPlanet FastTrack server for testing.

We have a Sun-Workstation with a Solaris 2.6 and use JDK 1.2.1 with JSP

pages and Beans.

On the bank-server we do not have a normal X11 (workstation) Server. And we

need such a server for creating images with java.

Now we also have installed xvfb ( a virtual X11-Server ).

So if we set the DISPLAY system-property right, we can start a normal

Application on this server. We can also start a java-Application on it.

But if we start this server and try to use this from iPlanet FastTrack

Server we get the Error:

"Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY

variable".

We first set the DISPLAY variable to 'localhost:1.0', but we always get the

same error message. So we tried to set the X-server to ':0.0',

but this does not work, too.

( 1 ) How can we set the DISPLAY parameter in / for iPlanet

( 2 ) Why cann't we connect to the virtual x-server from the iPlanet Server?

Has anyone tried this before?

I assume you set the DISPLAY variable in the webserver start script,rather than at the command line? A project I worked on also neededto use xvfb and we found that worked.Bob HalloranJacksonville FL
