Unable to connect to X11 window server?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I am running alpha vms7.3-1, java 1.4.0, apache webserver, tomcat servlet engine
 
I have built a web app on a windows pc using davisor graphics display utilities
 and it works fine.
Transporting the .WAR to the alpha, all of the none-graphics parts work ok, but
 when trying to display a graph, the browser (I explorer) gives a "502 Gateway"
 error.
On examination of the localhost logfile within apache/tomcat, the following
 dump is shown:
 
javax.servlet.ServletException: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0'
 as the value of the DISPLAY variable
 
I have searched all over for an explanation of what this means and how to
 remedy, but without success.
Can you help?
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  The application appears to be selecting the display target using what
  appears to be an IP transport syntax :0.0, meaning the TCP/IP Services
  IP transport for DECwindows is required.  Please see the OpenVMS FAQ
  for details on connecting the DECwindows TCP/IP transport.
