Hi,

We are having a problem running a servlet which uses graphical classes on a
Unix machine whenever the DISPLAY environment variable is not set to a valid
value in the terminal which is running the web-server, even though the
servlet is not sending the graphical components to the DISPLAY anyhow (it is
sending it back to the browser that triggered it).

This is a very unwanted thing, since we need to run the web-server as a
service on the Unix, and because of the above problem we cannot (instead, we
have to login to the Unix, set the DISPLAY environment variable to a valid
value, and only then run the web-server, and make sure the terminal we sent
the DISPLAY to do not log-out as long as users are using the servlet).

Thanks,
