Re: Jfreechart with jsp and servlet giving error

Hi All,

I am using JSP and servlet technology for making graphs.

Below please find my jsps,

Display.jsp

 final CategoryDataset dataset = DatasetUtilities.createCategoryDataset("Team ", "", data);

 final JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createAreaChart("Area Chart", "", "Value", dataset, PlotOrientation.VERTICAL,true, true, false);
 
 final CategoryPlot plot = chart.getCategoryPlot();
 plot.setForegroundAlpha(0.5f);

 chart.setBackgroundPaint(new Color(249, 231, 236));

 try {
  final ChartRenderingInfo info = new ChartRenderingInfo(new StandardEntityCollection());

  //String sname = request.getRealPath("/");
	
	
	//sname = sname.concat("web/areachart.png");
	//out.println(sname);
	//file = new File(sname);
  
 //final File file1 = new File(sname);
 File file1 = new File("../webapps/jspGraphFunction/web/areachart.png");

 ChartUtilities.saveChartAsPNG(file1, chart, 600, 400, info);
  } catch (Exception e) {
  out.println(e);
  }

Now its giving the below error for the bolded statement in the code:

Quote:
The method createAreaChart(String, String, String, CategoryDataset, PlotOrientation,
boolean, boolean, boolean) in the type ChartFactory is not applicable for the arguments
(String, String, String, CategoryDataset, PlotOrientation, boolean, boolean, boolean)

On net only this way of using the jfreechart is given

I have included the two jars Jfreechart... and jcommon in my lib folder.

Pls suggest,

You need to check if the FQN (full qualified name) of the classes that you are passing to the function are the same as those expected by the class. Make sure the CategoryDataset and the PlotOrientation are correct.

Also your programming environment should already be warning you when calling this type of method incorrect.

11-Aug-11 23:03

All things are correct it is giving error in the below code of line

final JFreeChart chart = ChartFactory.createAreaChart("Area Chart", "", "Value", dataset, PlotOrientation.VERTICAL,true, true, false);

telling that
The method createAreaChart(String, String, String, CategoryDataset, PlotOrientation,
boolean, boolean, boolean) in the type ChartFactory is not applicable for the arguments
(String, String, String, CategoryDataset, PlotOrientation, boolean, boolean, boolean)

everything is correct seems, dont bother about the names these are correct, also CategoryDataset and the PlotOrientation are correct

I have given the warning and error in the underline lines above.

JAAS Question

I everyone,

I'm currently initiating the development of a web app in GWT and I was thinking if JAAS is the way to go for me. In every article I've read so far JAAS is configured in an XML file, something like this:

XML

<security-role-mapping>
    <role-name>USERS</role-name>
    <group-name>Users</group-name>
</security-role-mapping>

Which makes me wonder: will I be able to add roles, users, groups, etc, programmatically (without restarting the server)? If the application grows in a great deal of number of users (and roles, etc), will it escalate?

Not sure if it matters, but I'm using NetBeans + GlassFish.

regards

Fratelli

I need to execute unix commands in the putty prompt via java code.

So far :

Runtime.exec(cmdArray);

has got the prompt open.
Need help to interact with this window and execute other commands.

How to use jFreechart in struts2

ProcessBuilder and Process may help. You can get an output stream for the Process and send input to the command line through that.

Hi All,

I am little bit new to struts framework though I have used tiles in struts application. Now I want to display charts in my application. After searching I found jFreechart library to create charts. (Though it doesn't generate all the charts, like box in web application).

Now I also found some link on how to use jFreechart in struts application. Though the post are not much descriptive, I tried in the same way to incorporate the chart functionality but it is not working......

Can someone please provide the entries to be made in [B]struts.xml[/B], [B]web.xml[/B] to make this functionality work.

Pls find below the different files I am using to run my application.
I have made the changes that I made for graph functionality in bold

This is not really a Java issue, more one of how to get information from the OS. You would probably need to research program installation on each of these platforms. See also the Java Desktop[^] class.

Pretty sure there is an environmnet variable that specifies the windows version.
That won't exist on OSX
Probably something similar on OSX.

Although there might even be a VM specific value that has such information.

You can use System.getProperties() to list all the env vars for the VM.

Re: Check if a program is installed on Linux or Mac

David Skelly10-Aug-11 22:16

Re: Check if a program is installed on Linux or Mac

10-Aug-11 22:16

There are three system properties which give you the information:

os.name
os.version
os.arch

The problem is that there is no standard defined list: different JVM implementations can return different values for these properties as long as they are consistent for the same JVM on the same operating system. Not only that, prior to Java 1.6 u14, the Sun hotspot JVM reported Windows 7 as being Windows Vista version 6.1 and then subsequent releases changed to Windows 7 version 6.1, so anyone who relied on this and upgraded from u14 to a later release suddenly found their code was behaving differently after a so-called "minor" upgrade.

So I would treat these system properties with a certain amount of caution. It might be good enough, though, if all you need to know is "it's not Windows".

11-Aug-11 12:53

At least for the code I create all of those situations would have required that the apps be certified for the target platform anyways.

But one solution presents itself if it is an issue. Use a configurable source which allows one to map os/vm values to application values.

David Skelly11-Aug-11 22:07

are there any functions in java like ispunct, isspace in C_?

11-Aug-11 22:07

Also the reason why I prefer to bundle a Java runtime with the app rather than relying on whatever random version of Java happens to be installed on the customer's machine. That makes it more predictable and easier to control.

I think (can't guarantee this, but I believe it to be true) that the os.name for Windows on the hotspot JVM can be relied on to start with "Windows" (although some versions may report Windows XP as being Windows 2000, and some report Windows 7 as being Windows Vista). Last time I used the JRockit JVM (about 3 years ago) that was the same. And as far as I am aware, different flavours of Linux all start with "Linux". So if that's all you need to know, that should probably be OK. I can't think of a reason why you would want to know that you are running on Ubuntu release 10.04 with Linux kernel 2.6.32 but who knows, I'm sure somebody somewhere has had that requirement in the past.

well yes i know this class but i guess there arent any specific functions which they check specific characters. as you see in the link http://cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cctype/ there are several functions. but in java i can't check a string contains only alphabetic characters_?

You can do this using regular expressions. A google search for "java regular expression" will give you some good links.

How exactly did you determine that such characters would be invalid in the name?

Or more specifically is this a business requirement?

And what exactly do you think the business process will be if someones legal names does have one of the characters that you excluded?
