What you need to do is set DISPLAY variable for JVM (servlets have no
idea what environment variables are). So, as somebody already pointed
out, Xvfb must be running _before_ starting up your servlet engine.
Then you should set DISPLAY variable and start servlet engine having
this var set. Something like this should do:
#!/bin/sh
Xvfb :1 & # maybe you don't need last &
DISPLAY=:1 you_servlet_engine_start_command

P.S. Your approach with using Runtime.exec is wrong.
