I am using iText in a Webapp. A servlet gets called from a JSP, generates a PDF document using the iText library and returns the PDF document in the response. This all works great when my webapp is running on my development environment - a WindowsXP machine using IBM WSAD to build, deploy and run the test server. My test JSP has a link that calls the servlet and pops up a new browser window containing the PDF. When I deploy my project EAR file to a test server that is running Websphere Application Server on a Solaris box the PDF will not get generated. The window that opens in a new browser window where the PDF should appear displays the text: "Error 500: Can't connect to X11 window server using 'webapp10:10.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable".
Any ideas what the problem is? The PDF document that I generate creates several pages. On the first page I use Java G2D classes to draw on the PDF document. The following PDF document pages use the iText PdfPTable and related classes. On my development environment that works under WindowsXP I am using Java Version 1.3.1. That is also the Java version running on the Solaris test server.
