yes, it's jdk 1.4.x im using. unfortunately i cannot relay to that an xvfb
is installed on the server, since it's up to the hosting company. so i would
prefer if i could solve this problem in some other manner.
thanks anyway :)

Is this jdk 1.4.x that you use???
For jdk 1.3.x (that definetaly needs X) a good solution is X Virtual Frame
Buffer (xvfb).
You run it like :
% Xvfb :1 -screen 0 800x600x24 &
and then in your tomcat/jboss/jetty (your favorite app server) start up
script you add
export DISPLAY=unix:1.0
(i use server side awt, with no problem, xvfb actually gets graphics drawn
faster than X running on a real graphics card)
