Hi,

what is a "headless option"? Could you provide an example?

It was not a bug, but a missing feature.

Yes it is solved from 1.4 on, if you use an 
additional headless option.

Alternativly use JDK 1.4 with the headless option 
to create the images.

Better user Xvfb.

Depending on the distribution you use you can
place a start script like this in /etc/init.d or 
/etc/rc.d/init.d to start xvfb.

XVFB=/usr/X11R6/bin/Xvfb
XVFBARGS=":99 -screen 0 1024x768x24 -fbdir /var/run -ac"
PIDFILE=/var/run/xvfb.pid
case "$1" in
  start)
echo -n "Starting virtual X frame buffer: Xvfb"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --make-pidfile
--background --exec $XVFB -- $XVFBARGS
echo "."
;;
  stop)
echo -n "Stopping virtual X frame buffer: Xvfb"
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE
echo "."
;;
  restart)
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
  *)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/xvfb {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac

exit 0

This is what we use for debian.
:99 is the value for the xserver id that must be set 
in the DISPLAY env.

DISPLAY=localhost:99.0

Additionaly you have to define a link in /etc/rc?.d to this file
for the run levels where you need the Xvfb. (This is for debian,
other distributions 

For tomcat you can do the same.
