Hello =)

I just have a simple question...

 

Is X11 Window necessary to run JasperReports in a [Red-Hat] Linux environment?

 

Thank you for the time. =)

you can use Xvfb or VNC instead (or JDK1.4?)

You can also use pja toolkit:

It's pretty simple to use, just make sure the jar(s) are in your server's classpath and add this to the java settings:

 

-Dawt.toolkit=com.eteks.awt.PJAToolkit -Djva.awt.graphicsenv=com.eteks.java2d.PJAGraphicsEnvironment -Djava.awt.fonts=$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fonts

Hi,

 

iF you are using JDK1.4 add the specified -Djava.awt.headless=true to your

command line when you launch java.exe.

or add this to your code System.setProperty(java.awt.headless,"true");

hi,

 

i just have some clarifications:

 

Does Xvfb work even if jasper is not triggered by jsp?

if i use jdk 1.4, do i still have to install Xvfb?

Can i use pja toolkit on redhat linux 7.x?
