Dear all,

I have a web application developed using JSPs, that needs to connect to 
a X server to show a statistics graphic. The logs when I issue an "xhost 
+ localhost" of Tomcat gives this :

Xlib: connection to "localhost:0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

xhost:  unable to open display "localhost:0.0"

When I issue a xhost to a different box, it doesnt fail. I have been 
googling a bit, I got the impression that using xhost is not safe, and 
it is better to use xauth. Anyway I still dont know how to fix this.

Regards and sorry for my english

Miguel
