If you run Tomcat as a "service" (whatever that means under Linux), then it probably runs as some user other than "you" (the one who owns the X environment). When you run it as "you", then you get access to X. It would work as a service if: 1. X starts before Tomcat 2. X is configured with "xhost +" for whatever user it is 3. Tomcat's startup can have the proper DISPLAY variable set (localhost:0?) - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk+gTuoACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBh6QCbBMXdRUUp6ZQyd+X4YzIahs8O GB0An35Yf17m5FdrQXrW6OlRaUFvFput =w5WE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
