Re: Framework Permission Issue

I'm thinking that if you start your WO app with
    -Djava.awt.headless=true
then it might not require window-server permissions in order to do 
image processing.
This is new functionality in java 1.4.2.  See the docs at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/awt/AWTChanges.html#headless

We have a WO app that uses the Apache Batik SVG Toolkit, and it's 
deployed on a Solaris 9 server that isn't running a GUI.  Prior to java 
1.4.2, we were able to work around the problem by using the PJA Toolkit 
(http://www.eteks.com/pja/en/).  But now that WO works with 1.4.2, 
we're able to run it on this server using the headless option (and 
without PJA), and it works great.
