Hi,
We're using Oracle Reports Server on UNIX with Orion. Oracle Reports
requires an X-Windows session on UNIX platforms. Basic inquiries such as
font availability and font metrics are resolved through X-Windows, not just
rasterization of graphic images. Reports is a bitmapped product and needs a
window runtime environment. So I've set up a Virtual Frame Buffer using
Xvfb I did some testing and when I set the DISPLAY=:1.0 and run xclock the
virtual frame buffer works just fine.
But whenever we attempt to use Reports without an Xterm running we get
"can't open display". So I believe the issue is actually with the
Application Server not knowing where to look for the DISPLAY. My
understanding is that with Apache's JServer you can tell it to use the Xvfb
instead of the the normal X server by making an entry in the
jserv.properties file. How can I do this with Orion?
Thanks!
