Run Jemmy Drag n Drop test on server

Question

I have some Jemmy DragnDrop junit tests. Below are some line of my code

Point p1 = SwingUtilities.convertPoint(portletOper.getUIComponent().getBasicComponent(), new Point(0, 0), displayOper.getUIComponent().getBasicComponent());
getTestRootContainerOperator().getWindow().getFocusOwner();
displayOper.getJemmyJComponentOperator().dragNDrop(p1.x + 10, p1.y + 10,
        p1.x + portletOper.getWidth() + 20, p1.y + portletOper.getHeight() / 4);

I run the test on local machine and it run perfectly.

The PROBLEM is:

I have a server (Windows server 2008) with Hudson installed. I create a hudson job to run the tests automatically.

The Drag n Drop test PASS : when I have a Remote Desktop connection to the server. (I can see the test run OK)

The Drag n Drop test FAIL : when there are no active sessions on the server.

Do you have any solution for this problem? Thank you PROs

I do not know much about windows servers ...

What I know is you have to have a valid UI session running.

With no RDP session, can you invoke a UI program? Notepad, even? Can you invoke a Java program?
