Re: X11 window server error

- The "server" is the X Windowing System display server, e.g., your
local Linux box.
- The "client" is the headless program that is using whatever remote AWT
technology you're using.
- The "client" (the Java program) has to know which of possibly multiple
display devices on which host it should be attempting to hook up to.

If you connect to a remote box that will want to "client" (execute X
Windowing code) on your local display (the "server"), for example, from
your login me@mylinuxbox (the "server") to a remote "client" via ssh -Y
me@yourlinuxbox and then type echo $DISPLAY you'll see what the X
Forwarding on your session as me@yourlinuxbox is assigning as the display
identifier for the connection. Type xeyes on the "client" (the remote
connection) to run the silly X Eyes program on your local workstation
display from which you logged into to the remote box and thus test the
connection.

This is how your remote AWT is working. It's using the X Windowing system
to get access to the GUI display on your local workstation.

This link is my resolution to a somewhat similar error. In summary, our
issue was a "DISPLAY" environment variable. I don't know if headless=true
overrides that or not.

Hi there

We're encountering the following error when attempting to create /
manipulate a BufferedImage.

Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY
variable

sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.initDisplay(Native Method)
sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.access$100(X11GraphicsEnvironment.java:52
sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment$1.run(X11GraphicsEnvironment.java:155)
java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(AccessController.java:202)
sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.<clinit>(X11GraphicsEnvironment.java:131)
java.lang.J9VMInternals.initializeImpl(Native Method)
java.lang.J9VMInternals.initialize(J9VMInternals.java:200)
java.lang.Class.forNameImpl(Native Method)
java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:136)
java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(GraphicsEnviron
java.awt.image.BufferedImage.createGraphics(BufferedImage.java:1146)
java.awt.image.BufferedImage.getGraphics(BufferedImage.java:1136)

Java is invoked by a CL program and the following properties are already
set:

java.awt.headless=true
os400.awt.native=true

Setting these properties has always solved the problem on other customer
sites however we're still encountering it on this particular iSeries.

Any other suggestions would be gratefully received.

Thanks
Matt
