Using Jasper in a Unix environment.

I have developed an application in a windows environment with jasper as the reporting engine. It works fine in the development area (Windows 2000) but when deployed to the server an error occurs stating "cannot use or find X11 graphics library"

Yep, me too. That occurred due to the lack of a graphics environment in your UNIX server. I actually started looking at PJA Toolkit (Pure AWT for Java) that bypasses system graphics.

 

But finally, I found out that if you're using at least JDK1.4, then all you need is this:

 

System.setProperty("java.awt.headless", "true");

 

or set it in the command line. That makes the JDK itself simulate a graphical environment rather than depend on the system's environment.

 

Hope that helps.
