Thanks for the help.  You definately hit the nail on the head.  The machine is 
running an X server but has no graphics card.  Like you said I either needed 
to install a graphics card on the machine running Solaris, install software 
that makes a virtual X server (Xvfb) or switch from Java 1.3 to Java 1.4 and 
run in "headless" mode.  There were too many admin issues to implement the 
first two.  The easiest solution was to switch Java versions and use the 
headless switch.  That solved the problem.  Thanks again.
