Hmm, wouldn't using the AWT cause the driver to attempt to initialize the X
windows or something? I know some servlet implementations (Netscape's, for
one) do not support any AWT calls, assuming that when you work through the
web, you don't have an X server, which is true.

Can't it be done with threads, Object.notify() etc.?
