    have any one get chartcreator to work with jboss portal?

    kevin1

      Hi,

      I was trying to draw a chart within a portlet in jboss
      portal with chartcreator (http://jsf-comp.sourceforge.net/components/chartcreator/index.html) but failed. the image is not
      rendering. by view source, I've got
      img id="impressions" width="400" height="300"
      src="chartcreatorrequest.jsf?ts=1154984708281&id=impressions"
      but the picture is just not drawn.


      my jsf file:

      <chart:chart id="impressions" title="Impressions"
      datasource="#{folderDailyImps}" type="timeseries"
      width="400" height="300" />

      my bean

      @Out(scope=ScopeType.SESSION, required=false)
      private TimeSeriesCollection folderDailyImps;

      @Factory("folderDailyImps")
      public void populateTimeSeries() {

      Connection conn = _session.connection();
      PreparedStatement ps = null;
      ResultSet rs = null;
      TimeSeries series = null;
      folderDailyImps = new TimeSeriesCollection();

      try {
      ps = conn.prepareStatement(SQL_GET_GOOGLE_TIME_SERIES);
      ps.setInt(1, 1);
      rs = ps.executeQuery();

      while (rs.next()) {
      if (series != null) {
      folderDailyImps.addSeries(series); // Add the last
      series
      }
      series = new TimeSeries(rs.getString("name"),
      Day.class);
      series.add(new Day(new
      Date(rs.getDate("xdate").getTime())), rs
      .getInt("imps"));
      logger.info(rs.getString("name") + " " +
      rs.getDate("xdate") + " " + rs.getInt("imps"));
      }
      logger.info("folderDailyImps factory method invoked");
      } catch (SQLException e) {
      // TODO Auto-generated catch block
      e.printStackTrace();
      }
      }

          Doesn't really have anything to do with JBoss Portal, but I just patched the chart creator to work inside JBoss Portal. In case anyone cares, here is the patch:

          diff --new-file -rc ./net/sf/jsfcomp/chartcreator/ChartListener.java /home/tim/src/3p/chartcreator-1.2.0-RC1/net/sf/jsfcomp/chartcreator/ChartListener.java

          + String s = (String) key;
          + if (s.endsWith("?" + id)) {
          + id = s;
          + }
          + }
           ChartData chartData = (ChartData) sessionMap.get(id);
           JFreeChart chart = ChartUtils.createChartWithType(chartData);

            Hi,

            I tried your patch, but I am still not able to get chart image on the portlet. Can you please share your code or if any other setting / configuration that you have done? This will be of great help. By the way I am using Websphere Portal Server 6.1. Thanks in advance,

            Regards,

            Amit
