[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (TEIID-575) MMx server should be started 'headless' to prevent AWT prompts

MMx server should be started 'headless' to prevent AWT prompts -------------------------------------------------------------- Key: TEIID-575 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/TEIID-575 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Server Reporter: Debbie Steigner Assignee: Steven Hawkins Priority: Minor Fix For: 6.1.1 Per https://enterprise.redhat.com/issue-tracker/?module=issues&action=vie... customer request. The JT400 JDBC driver (JTOpen) prompts the user with an AWT form when the credentials fail. When this happens, it blocks the MMx server thread until one remotes over to it graphically and enters the password. When one repeatedly ignores the prompt, typically DB2 disables the userid. This is time-consuming and it happens periodically. Although this is really JT400 braindamage, it points out that MMx appears not to be started in "headless" mode. To do this, do: java -Djava.awt.headless=true This should cause AWT prompts like this from JDBC drivers to go to the log as exceptions. See http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/headless/ for more info. If you could just enter this as a bug/feature request.
