java.awt.headless rears it's ugly head

Hi,

A class called from RPGLE fails unless the property
java.awt.headless=true has been set when the JVM starts.

This can be resolved by adding this property to
/qibm/userdata/java400/systemDefault.properties.



Everything works fine until a totally unrelated task runs the QP2SHELL
program subsequently in the same job which immediately throws the error
-

CPFB9C7 - i5/OS PASE already running in this job.



So setting java.awt.headless=true kills can code that needs to run
QP2SHELL.

This implies that this property causes i5/OS PASE to be launched and
left open in the thread.



What a bummer?

I don't want to have to run the class in a separate job with it's own
java properties.



Peter
