Yes, but that doesn't work. Seems like the Java VM under Linux NEEDS X to
do any rendering whatsoever. That's what the docs says.
When no X11 Display is available on UNIX machines or when GDI resources
are low
on Windows, it is impossible to compute off-screen images with
java.awt.Graphics methods, even if your program doesn't need to display
these
images. Typically, this situation happens for servlets returning
dynamically
generated images like pies, charts or web counters.
You can't write to a frame without having X ... or some substitute running.
Yep. That's the truth.

We're compositing images on the server to display on the client's web page.
Basically overlays etc...
