I'm working on a WebObjects application that uses Quicktime Java to edit
movie files through the web. On my development machine, calling
qtsession.open() works without a problem. However, when I deploy my
application on the server, qtsession.open() throws an error in WebObjects.
The only thing that I notice as different is that on my development
machine, calling qtsession.open() from within WO launches a "bootloader"
application. The same used to be true to for my server, but since 10.3,
the error appears instead.

This is a bit over my head. Can anyone shed some light on this error or
the mechanisms at work? Any thoughts much appreciated.

Don't know if this will answer your questions, but I think the problem is this:

With no one logged into your server, the only running window server is owned by root. Thus, if you're WO app is running as any other user (like appserver, f.x.) it will not have the proper permissions to connect to the window server. It works in dev. because both your wo app and the window server are your processes. You will have to do something similar on the dep box.
