... uh -- make that it "WAS" cheaper, not it "WASN'T" cheaper, but
then context probably made that clear :) ...

I ran into this same problem when using AWT-referencing-code (which

java.awt.headless is supposed to exist to prevent this problem, but
for whatever reason it didn't behave as expected. Ultimately I
never got the performance out of ImageIO that I needed anyway, so I
switched to custom JNI using the ImageMagick API's (which,
incidentally, was between 10 and 100x faster performing some of the
same operations as ImageIO). It was REALLY frustrating -- I know
your pain. At the end of my case, I only depended on
java.awt.Dimension (which ALSO fires up Toolkit), which I just
wrote my own version of. It wasn't cheaper (time-wise) to go this
route then to try and diagnose exactly what was going on under the
covers in the VM. I'm fairly confident there IS a workaround,
because I would be shocked that it just doesn't work at all, but it
wasn't immediately obvious.
One option you have, unless you're TRULY headless, is to launch as
root instead of appserver, which can then always get to the
windowserver. But that, of course, brings with it other problems.

Good morning everyone!
I have a problem with one of my apps. When this application tries
to perform image resizing, it dies suddenly and horribly, without
giving any error messages in the application log (with debugging
enabled). The application instance immediately terminates and then
restarts.
The app is running as the "appserver" user and the -
Djava.awt.headless property is set to true. Running WO 5.2.3 on OS
X server 10.3.8. Classes involved in the resize operation inclide
BufferedImage and ImageIO.
The image resizing code resides in a framework and is running fine
on other servers, so I really don't know what to think. I just
wanted to see if anyone had experienced something similar, since I
suspect this might become a long winded bug hunt.
Cheers,
Hugi
