If you can't have a graphic environment or use headless mode you can't use a JTable. There's not much to think about. You need to send the data in some other way and render the pdf using a Table or PdfPTable.

Subject: [iText-questions] Jtable creation on servlet
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
