Hello,


I've spent some time working on a solution to my problem, but I'm completely 

out of ideas.  I have a servlet that takes a JTable as input and creates a PDF 

with the Jtable in it.  I've managed to handle all the details of that 

(sizing, etc, etc).



However, I'm hosted on an Linux box that will not allow me to create a JFrame 

on the servlet (I get a headless exception, because there's not Win system on 

the box to render the JFrame).  So, since I can't create the JFrame, it just 

prints an empty page when I try to print the table.



I don't think there's a good solution to this, because what I've read suggests 

no good ideas (3 typical bad ideas involving setting headless mode, using 

something called pja, and so on).



I have a distributed application that has an applet and servlet architecture.  

I COULD put the entire iText library on the client side but that sucks.  I 

suppose I could try to dismantle it and just compile the pieces I need, but 

that seems like a bad idea, and I'm not sure how much I could actually strip 

from the 600k library (imagine it's fairly connected).



Open to any suggestions, help appreciated,

Matt
