hi
it looks like that the use of some java.awt classes causes mac os x to treat tomcat as a gui process... well, there might be a solution. try to start tomcat with the following additional command line parameter:
java.awt.headless=true
you can set the CATALINA_OPTS or JAVA_OPTS environment variable to contain the above property.
hope this helps simon

I have been using iText in a webapp for several months now, and I LOVE
it. In conjunction with UJAC, I have not found a better solution for
me or my demanding clients(!).
I have been scouring the mail archives, and have not found an answer
to the following issue, and was hoping someone has heard of it.
With Tomcat running as a daemon or background process in Mac OS X (version isn't
relevant), there is no indication that it's running in the dock on the
user interface. When the PDF servlet I've written is
called, the Mac GUI launches, or tries to launch, a second iteration
of Tomcat, and an icon shows up in the dock. Looking at my process
list, only one version of Tomcat is running. If I switch to the java
application exposed in the dock and "Quit", the only instance of
Tomcat goes away, with nothing in catalina.out. The PDF servlet works
fine, and continues to work fine. No problems there.
I can assume only one thing, and that is iText is somehow making the
GUI aware of the Tomcat process and is giving the user an interface to
it. Doesn't bother me, but my wife (yes, she uses my devstage server
to browse the web...grrr) will sometimes log out, which kills the
process. Besides, who wants the beautiful Mac GUI cluttered with
useless stuff? :)
If anyone knows anything about this, please elp. Even if it happens to you, and you don't know why, I would like to know about it.
