Re: Report Server working on the web?

We are doing this on NT, so I don't have any experience using this on Solaris.

The concept is the same however.

The browser must have a compliant JVM ( such as IE5 ) or it will need to download and load Jinitiator to run the Java.

There should be no need for an X-window to be open.

Do you have details on the purpose of having an xterm open?

Have you checked MetaLink?
