Hi, when I open the Smart Client from the Servoy 6 Application Server I get the pdf\_output error: > 2011-10-03 12:59:33,621 ERROR [RMI TCP Connection(12)-xxx.xxx.xxx.238] com.servoy.j2db.util.Debug - Error ocured initializing plugin: pdf\_output > java.awt.HeadlessException > at java.awt.dnd.DropTarget.(DropTarget.java:79) > at java.awt.dnd.DropTarget.(DropTarget.java:125) > at com.apple.laf.AquaFileChooserUI.installListeners(AquaFileChooserUI.java:165) > at com.apple.laf.AquaFileChooserUI.installUI(AquaFileChooserUI.java:122) > at javax.swing.JComponent.setUI(JComponent.java:662) > at javax.swing.JFileChooser.updateUI(JFileChooser.java:1798) > at javax.swing.JFileChooser.setup(JFileChooser.java:360) > at javax.swing.JFileChooser.(JFileChooser.java:333) > at javax.swing.JFileChooser.(JFileChooser.java:286) > at com.servoy.extensions.plugins.pdf\_output.PDFPrintService.(Unknown Source) > at com.servoy.extensions.plugins.pdf\_output.PDFPlugin.initialize(Unknown Source) > at com.servoy.j2db.smart.plugins.PluginManager.initClientPluginsEx(PluginManager.java:382) > at com.servoy.j2db.smart.plugins.PluginManager.initClientPlugins(PluginManager.java:248) > at com.servoy.j2db.server.headlessclient.SessionClient.createPluginManager(SessionClient.java:553) > at com.servoy.j2db.ClientState.applicationServerInit(ClientState.java:310) > at com.servoy.j2db.server.headlessclient.SessionClient.(SessionClient.java:202) > at com.servoy.j2db.server.headlessclient.SessionClient.(SessionClient.java:156) > at com.servoy.j2db.server.main.Zd.(Zd.java:2) > at com.servoy.j2db.server.main.Zo.run(Zo.java:11) > at com.servoy.j2db.server.main.Zk.login(Zk.java:14) > at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) > at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) > at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) > at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) > at sun.rmi.server.UnicastServerRef.dispatch(UnicastServerRef.java:305) > at sun.rmi.transport.Transport$1.run(Transport.java:159) > at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) > at sun.rmi.transport.Transport.serviceCall(Transport.java:155) > at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPTransport.handleMessages(TCPTransport.java:535) > at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPTransport$ConnectionHandler.run0(TCPTransport.java:790) > at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPTransport$ConnectionHandler.run(TCPTransport.java:649) > at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) > at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680) How can I fix this? ---

you mean a webclient? Because that is a log from the server, and you are trying to make a webclient there not a smart client You could play with “-Djava.awt.headless=true " in your servoy\_server.sh file maybe in your case you should say “”-Djava.awt.headless=false” ---

Hi Johan, I definitely have started a smart client and got the error in the servoy-admin. Anyway, I have set the “-Djava.awt.headless” to false, shut down the app server and started it by Terminal. By now no error is logged when I start a smart client. But what is if I need a headless client for this solution? ---

that setting has nothing to do with our headless client But the error you shown here, again had nothing to do with a smart client setartup you where starting up there another kind of client on the server, maybe this can also be a batch client. ---

Hi Johan, setting the “-Djava.awt.headless” to false is not a real solution because this produce other issues, posted in this topic: [http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17017&p=91965#p91965](http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17017&p=91965#p91965) I set the “-Djava.awt.headless” back to true and now there is this ‘Error ocured initializing plugin: pdf\_output’ back in the server log on every start of a Smart Client. ---

please make a case for this pointing to this forum post So that we can make the pdf\_output plugin less dependend on the swing filechooser ---
