Hi. Just to let everyone know how I got round the problem of not having an
XServer.
Go to http://www.eteks.com/pja/ and download the install file for your
appropriate machine mac/pc/UNIX (the download has english instructions -
the site is in french).
unpack file etc on machine
in any code you use, have the following lines :
System.setProperty ("awt.toolkit", "com.eteks.awt.PJAToolkit");
System.setProperty ("java.awt.graphicsenv","com.eteks.java2d.PJAGraphicsEnvironment");
System.setProperty ("java.awt.fonts","/usr/java/jdk1.3/jre/lib/fonts");
System.setProperty ("java2d.font.usePlatformFont","false");
System.setProperty ("user.home","/home/dev/java/servlets/decisions/pja_2.1");
where the last line is the directory you unpacked your pja files to.
put this line in your jserv.properties file :
wrapper.bin.parameters=-Xbootclasspath/a:/home/dev/java/servlets/decisions/pja_2.1/lib/pja.jar
your servlets will now run using Java2D as is but doesn't need an XServer.
if you want to run java progs from command line, just type :
java -Xbootclasspath/a:<path to pja.jar here> my_class_file
[I had pja.jar in my classpath too for compiling the files in the first
place]
thanks to all who posted comments
Regards
S.
