Hello,
Though I generally do not reply to people who repost their own questions
daily, I did miss your original post and I spent some considerable time
trying to solve this problem myself.
Checking the JavaDoc for HeadlessException you should note that it is
"thrown when code that is dependent on a keyboard, display, or mouse is
called in an environment that does not support a keyboard, display, or
mouse.", which when you run headless is the case. Looking at your stack
trace your construction of the JasperViewer object relies on creating a
JFrame, and as per the exception documentation, you can't do. Therefore
running headless is not your solution.
IMHO your solution should be to change what you are invoking so that you
are not reliant on the JasperViewer and therefore the JFrame as Swing
and AWT don't make sense in a server environment. However, if this is
not possible you will need a correctly configured X environment and the
DISPLAY environment variable set. Assuming a BASH shell, you can set the
display variable with:
export DISPLAY=hostname:0
repacing hostname with your machine's real hostname.
Best wishes,
