I have seen a few posts about setting up flex to run on a headless server but I'm a bit confused about how to actually do this or even if this will fix my problem. This is what the documentation says should be done to set things up:
--- define the value of the <headless-server> tag in the flex-config.xml file. Setting this property to true is required to support fonts and SVG images in a nongraphical environment. The <headless-server> tag is a child tag of <compiler>. The following example sets <headless-server> to true: <headless-server>true</headless-server> --- Seems straight forward enough, but when I deploy to the server using a war file, I am not providing the flex-config.xml file. Do I need to get my sys admin to update this on the server manually? What I am doing is launching flex from the server as a thread to run in the background and save snapshots of charts drawn in flex every time new data is sent from the server to the flex app running in the browser. So in this instance of flex, no user is involved. The server is a headless rack mounted computer.
