'Headless' operation refers to the ability to run a Java program without a 
monitor, 
mouse or keyboard.  In unix enviornments, it usually means that X or an 
equivalent 
windowing system does not have to be present. 
Headless Java operation would mean that a server side Java program should be 
able to 
use the full J2SE or J2EE API without a GUI enviornment being present.  This 
means that 
all AWT calls to manipulate components, graphics, fonts, printing etc. should be 
functional.
