coldfusion/java/jfreechart question

[ironyx]

Okay... so we have jfreechart working in coldfusion to do the dual axis chart in Coldfusion on Weblogic on our Windows Server. Then we tried to move it to test on Solaris *sigh*

Well, when running Jfreechart on UNIX it uses an X11 thing to render the Java 2D unless you run in a headless state... so here is where I need help... (well, I need lots of help, but in this case... )

There are two ways to do the headless thing...
with a servlet -->java -Djava.awt.headless=true ... which I think we could set in a startup script but I am not sure about
(not a servlet?) System.setProperty("java.awt.headless","true");

I think (or am trying to think) we would do the second option in the code when we call the jfreechart with createObject but I am not sure (or sure how)... could someone help a little to explain to me. Sorry if this is simple... I appreciate the help!

Thanks as always!
Va.

You need to set it in your jvm config or whereever weblogic sets java arguments. I do not believe you will get away with setting it dynamically in your code. I know java arguments can be set for each websphere server instance. I would think weblogic would have similar capability.

Okay, well weblogic has an arguments option in the admin and I set it there. Nothing came up... but thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Please forgive this, I just have a quick question if someone would indulge me and forgive my ignorance.

I just read that the Djava.awt.headless=true was a jvm setting, would this still be done though the weblogic admin under java arguments (in theory)?
Is the jvm setting mean just where the setting will be used...

Thanks,
