I have to run an automated version of my flex app on a headless server so I'm using a virtual frame buffer (Xvfb) running on Solaris in an oc4j container.
I can get the following command to 'apparently' launch the app: String cmd = "/bin/sh DISPLAY=:5 /opt/sfw/bin/firefox "+ url+" -width 1600 -height 1200"; I say apparently because it does not cause any errors. But when I send messages to the flex app via BlazeDS for it to do it's thing...they never get there. I know the program works because it is fine in my localhost development environment, but how do I get the app to launch with a virtual frame buffer or more generally, on a headless server?
