This may or may not be the solution to your problem, but I usually find that when there is an issue with SSH and JAVA, it is the an issue with Java libraries thinking the DISPLAY is local and thus trying to do communications optimizations that do not work across SSH.

As per the page below, I have a one-line entry in my shell's startup script that tests for the variable SSH_CLIENT and if it is set, I set the variable NO_AWT_MITSHM to 'true'.

I have run into two cases where applications work using traditional UNIX/Linux workstations, but not with the Sun Ray. Here's a brief description:

A user does an ssh -X to a remote server and runs an HP OpenView Motif-based application. On the Sun Ray, the application complains that it can't locate the correct font, and exits. Using Exceed from a PC or ssh -X from a SuSE Linux workstation, the application works as expected.

For the other issue, the user also does an ssh -X to a different remote server and launches a Java application - a third-party application from a small specialty software provider called "Mercator". When the application launches, the display is garbled and the Sun Ray server CPU pegs. Again, if the application
is launched from a UNIX/Linux workstation or Exceed session, it works fine.

I realize there isn't any real data here to go on, but I was just curious if anyone has seen anything like this. To me, it makes no sense at all, as I assume that the entire X environment was on the remote server and all that is
being used locally (on the Sun Ray server) is the DISPLAY.

Thanks,
Bill
