Printerjob, awt headless mode and mac os x server

hello
i've an application that print a page using classes like jframe, jpanel, jtable, etc
when i run it on a linux server or on a windows one there are no problems, but when i try to print this page on mac os x server 10.6.8 i get this error:
on system dock appear a java icon named org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap and the printed page comes empty. if i set the visibility property to true i can see the correct page, but i can't print!
I've searched on google and i found various articles that say to set JAVA_OPTS to awt headless = true. i've tryed but i've obtained an headlessexception, because i use jframe etc that need headless mode disactive...so what can i do?
i want to print with a shared network windows printer, if i print with textedit all go well, the problem appears only using java PrinterService class
thanks in advance

Paolo - Welcome to Discussions!
At the moment - this is partly implemented.
Networked home directories only are searched (new to tiger)
Although there appear to be stubs of routines (and some low level documentation) that seem to point to support for indexing entire shares, it is not enabled.
I know your case seems like a good one for this - but in general, it makes little sense for a lot of clients to hammer a network volume - all of them making their own index. I would presume there is a plan to allow the server to make one index and have the clients either refer to that index or download a copy of that index as needed to reduce the overhead on the server... (but that's just an educated guess - with no way of knowing)

  • Lion: Connecting to legacy (pre-Lion) AFP services - and Mac OS X (server)

    After upgrading to MacOS X Lion, it was discovered that it was not possible to logon to Novell-shares and NAS-boxes (e.g. Qnap).
    Here is a recipe that has been tested OK with the following combinations:
    * Mac OS X Lion -> Novell shares
    * Mac OS X Lion -> Mac OS X 10.5 server
    * Mac OS X Lion -> Mac OS X Lion
    Please note that the command-lines themselves must not have CR/NL-characters. Copy the commands to a text-editor and remove format-inserted CR/NL-characters.
    Another note: Your logon will be less secure with these changes. Later when e.g. Novell and/or your NAS-box support native Lion-logon, then please remove the AppleShareClient-parameter changes again with the first block.
    Recipe:
    The following block can be skipped if you have not previously changed AppleShareClient-parameters:
    sudo -s
    chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
    cd  /Library/Preferences/
    rm com.apple.AppleShareClient.plist*
    ! Restart
    The following block makes it possible to logon to: (1) Novell-shares (2) Pre Lion Mac-OS-X-volumes - and possibly non-native Lion logon NAS-shares:
    sudo -s
    chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1
    ! Restart
    You now have to logon a real account (non-guest) on another Mac OS X Lion volume
    to catalyst a creation of AppleShareClient-files. (See Apple-support-link) (Is this necessary?)
    ! instead?:
    /bin/sleep 60
    chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "Cleartxt Passwrd" "MS2.0" "2-Way Randnum exchange"
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "DHX2"
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "DHCAST128"
    chmod o-w /Library/Preferences
    PS:
    Possibly all volume-links may be deletes and recreated to use the new logon-parameters?

  • Windows PC (XP) and Mac OS X Server 10.6 print service

    Can someone tell me if it is possible for a Windows PC running XP to make use of the Mac OS X Server 10.6 print service? Following the manual does not help. After enabling SMB I don't manage to connect to one of the shared printers. How could I make use of IPP and LPR support being built into Windows XP?

    I know the problems with Time Machine on Mac OS server. In your case: Look at the log files, searching for "backupd", if that tells you anything.
    In my case, Time Machine in the last year stopped several times. Occasionally, there was a helpful message in the log files where I could identify a file where it had hung -- typically intermediate build results of Xcode. After excluding or deleting the offending files (where possible), Time Machine ran successfully.
    Another situation which has repeatedly occurred is that time machine just hangs and does not progress, and no log entry helps. In 3 such cases what helped was to delete the spotlight index (e.g., with TinkerTool System) and let it rebuild. It took inordinately long (10 hrs) and there were log entries by mdworker that it had difficulty processing files. But when the spotlight index was finally rebuilt, Time Machine worked again.
    BTW: I don't need Time Machine to backup the server system, for that I run mirrors etc., but for user files it is most convenient and has helped several times. Thus I have excluded nearly everything but /User/*.

  • What can Xserve and Mac OS X Server do that Mac OS X and .mac cannot?

    After repeatedly bumping up against internal and external hard drive storage limits (easy to do with photography and HD video) I am considering an Xserve for storage space and easy access to files. Some of the features of Leopard Server such as iCal Server, email, and IM sound interesting as well. However, I know nothing about server admin, so I am equally worried about 1) getting in over my head and 2) that an Xserve is overkill. Thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.

    If your concern is storage I'm not sure what you think you'll gain from using an XServe.
    The MacPros can handle more internal storage than the XServe, thanks to its four drive bays (vs. the XServe's three).
    If you're planning to use the server as a network file store, that's fair enough, but don't think you can do live editing over the network - the throughput is going to be bottlenecked by your network and disk performance over the network is typically much less than local drive. It would be feasible to use it as an archive repository while running the current projects from the local disk, just don't try to edit HD video over the network.
    A potentially better solution would be an XServe RAID rather than an XServe - the RAID offers up to 10TB of RAID protected storage which can be directly connected to your workstation, giving you the advantage of local file storage (viable for live editing) without the overhead of the network.
    If you do opt for the server route bear in mind that all the other services (email, iCal, IM, etc.) are optional, and you can just ignore them until you're ready to deal with them.

  • Measuring string bounds in headless mode on a server?

    I have a problem with calculating screen string width for the browser client.
    I'm outputting a stream of content type application/vnd.ms-excel and sending back an XML spreadsheet. (No complaints about using Mc$oft products, it's what's needed!)
    Excel does not autosize columns which contain string data, so the text columns are the standard Excel width, and the text is wrapped onto about 7 lines. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnexcl2k2/html/odc_xmlss.asp for details of the XML format.
    Excel does allow you to specify the with of a column in points, so I was using the awt Font classes to calculate the string bounds in pixels. I explicitly set the resolution to be used to 72dpi by creating a FontRenderContext with an AffineTransform with a scaling factor of (1.0, 1.0), so that asking the pixel width, gets the point width.
    This worked fine testing it on my windoze machine, but on the Unix server, it's obviously running in headless mode, and anyway, it doesn't have the Arial font which I'm specifying in my spreadsheet as the font to use.
    Is there any way of calculating the width of a string in points knowing its font and the point size of the font? You shouldn't need a graphcs environment, just the font information. I have all the .TTF files, I could copy them to the Unix machine if Java could use them and do the calculation.
    I hate leaving the user interface looking so shoddy with wrong sized columns!
    It SHOULD have worked in a headless environment according to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/awt/AWTChanges.html#headless and we are on version 1.4.2_01. It actually blew up in awt code:
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
         at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
         at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:141)
         at java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(GraphicsEnvironment.java:62)
         at java.awt.Font.initializeFont(Font.java:308)
         at java.awt.Font.<init>(Font.java:344)That's when I'm trying to instantiate a new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 10);I've looked at the FOP project wondering whether that has a solution but it's a huge, confusing thing. There must be a way. Can anyone help?

    When you say "unix doesn't have Arial" you obviously aren't using Solaris where Arial most certainly
    ships and is in fact the main font used to support dialog & sanserif.
    There are numerous APIs to calculate the width of a string in pixels, depending on whether
    you want the integer metrics, fp metrics , logical bounds, pixel bounds (which guarantees to enclose
    every pixel if you correctly specify the graphics/FRC)
    Every single one of these works in headless mode.
    Even the most simple-minded FontMetrics.stringWidth(String) call should be good enough
    for your requirements.
    The error you show looks like you have a misconfigured environment.. It can't find
    the correct implementation class of GraphicsEnvironment which is nothing to do with
    fonts. Moreover this DOES work for me :
    import java.awt.*;
    public class Arial {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    Font arial = new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 10);
    System.out.println(arial);

  • WebObjects and Apache2.2 on Mac OS X Server (Snow Leopard)

    I have been configuring a new Mac Mini Server with the latest version of Mac OS X Server.
    Typically we have been using Max OS X (non-server) in development environment and were following our instructions on how we set up all our boxes.  In setting up our new installation on the "server edition" we came across something that caused up some pause.
    After we got our WebObjects application launched through JavaMonitor, it attempted to open Safari, but "page" could not be found.  We suspected that that WebObjects Adaptor was not being utilized.
    Looking through the Apache logs we found this:
    script not found or unable to stat: /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/WebObjects
    We checked our httpd.conf (Apache 2.2.17).  This file is slightly different that the one for our generic (non-server) Mac OS X Snow Leopard installations.  It even mentions that in the comments at the top of httpd.conf file that ships with Mac OS X Server
    We had included the following as we normally do -
    Include /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/Apache2.2/apache.conf
    But in order to get WebObjects to kick in, we needed to comment out the line
    #          ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/
    Once we did that... boom... app was working fine.  Since all that is running on this box is WebObjects and Oracle, we are happy with this solution. Moral of the post is that the httpd.conf file supplied is different between "Mac OS X" and "Mac OS X Server" editions. 
    Note:  We do not even see the ScriptAlias line in our non-server httpd.conf.
    We were clued into this from a previous discussion on here (and its related replies). http://discussions.apple.com/message/12786408#12786408
    Hope this helps someone else.

    If you have another administrative username (such as the Open Directory (OD) Administrator (diradmin) username, then you can use that to reset the password. 
    If you don't have another administrative password including a local administrator and if it's your Open Directory Administrator password that you've forgotten, then you'll want to follow HT1194 Mac OS X Server: How to reset the Open Directory administrator password for the sequence used to reset the OD access.  (The header of that article lists up through 10.5, but the text also lists 10.6.)
    Once you're back in, you'll probably want to consider adding a back-up directory administrator account with an obscure password, and write down that password and stick it in a fireproof safe somewhere, or maybe in a note in your Keychain of your own OS X client system, or some other secure location.  I do that with a few servers, storing that data with full-disk copies of the server backups, etc.

  • Difference between Mac Pro and Mac XServer

    Hi,
    I wanted to know if there is any difference between Mac Pro and the Mac XServer - at the OS level? Meaning, if I design an application on Mac Pro would it run seamlessly on XServer or do I need to care about a few things.
    Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek

    Both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server are presently at the Tiger 10.4.10 release, with Mac OS X Server having various added pieces and features, and having a few structural and configuration differences.
    * Do both of them support the ipv6 protocol
    Yes; both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server both offer IPv6.
    * do both of them support LDAP and PAM based authentication
    Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server have LDAP support, yes. Mac OS X Server has LDAP authentication, DNS and a variety of other servers built in. Mac OS X is configured as a client, though there is the Apache web server.
    Haven't looked for PAM for either platform.
    * Do both of them support the same level of Java ( I understand we need 1.5 or higher for Tiger / Leapord)
    Java itself is the same on both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server, though Mac OS X Server has server-oriented pieces of Java present. And it's still write once, debug everywhere.
    No Leopard questions are permissible here at this time; Leopard details are NDA.
    * Do the compilers (gcc) have different compilation options - maybe xServer uses some better optimized flags that handle large volumes of data and network traffic.
    AFAIK, there are no differences in gcc defaults. Nor would I expect any. Handling volumes of data is left to the programmer. (I'm not even sure how a compiler author would even implement that sort of difference.)
    * Is there any difference in the behavior of the way the libraries ...
    I'd expect the exact same behavior the programmer requested would occur with both platforms.
    Now as for what I expect is the root of your question, yes, you'll likely want to test your application on both Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server software platforms. There can exist very hard to predict details such as cases where dual NICs or the aforementioned directory differences that have tossed a few applications off the rails and into the weeds; have caused applications to fail.
    You can choose to install Mac OS X Server on a Mac Pro. Probably the 10-client, because you probably aren't planning to serve piles of clients from the Mac Pro.
    An overview of Mac OS X Server is here:
    http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/specs.html
    Now as to whether or not I would expect run-time differences, no. But I've been at this way too long and have chased way to many weird bugs to make any promises here.

  • Mac OS X Server: Can I install that in a Intel iMac running OS X Tiger?

    Hello,
    I really want to buy the Mac OS X Server Tiger Software, but before that I still have lots of questions, so here is just one question:
    - How can I install that on my iMac Intel running Tiger OS X? Do I need to make a pertition of my MBR Hard Drive in order to be able to fully run Mac OS X Server on my 2Ghz Intel Mac?
    Thank you, hope you got a solution for my problem.

    > How can I install that on my iMac Intel running Tiger OS X
    Umm, you mean other than inserting the DVD, double-clicking the 'Install Mac OS X Server' app and following the on-screen instructions?
    >Do I need to make a pertition of my MBR Hard Drive in order to be able to fully run Mac OS X Server on my 2Ghz Intel Mac?
    If you want to, sure. There's no need to do this, though. The only reason to create a separate partition is if you wanted to dual-boot your machine so that you could switch between Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server, but that's entirely optional.

    Try this:
    clone your system and repair it with Disk Warrior instead
    Or try a clean test system install on another drive
    A must: SmcFanControl 2.2 - a mere 400 rpm extra to keep air cooling up
    Try to run w/o externals. MyBook included.
    Is that a 7200.11 1TB? they had a lot of issues.
    Run AHT off your OEM DVD.
    2008 had to have EFI and SMC updates to deal with freezes on wake from sleep, and like all models, high inrush current.  Hopefully you have a UPS and is 1500VA unit.
    When you do hard restart from power button, you almost certainly add more directory errors and to files requiring immediate attention to repair and rebuild the directory; and to scan and repair and delete cache and temp files and folders. A must. Invest in bootable backups SuperDuper along with Disk Warrior (or TechTool Pro 6, maybe Drive Genius 3 but I'd rate that #3).
    TimeMachine has its own bad habits, especially with Green drives and some externals.
    Try to rule out everything and then add back one at a time.
    And it may just be time to replace the 8800, very common, a couple threads this week, and it is 3 yrs old.  Might want ATI 5870 or 5770.
