HOW TO: Installing and Running Swiff Chart Generator Servlet Samples

The information in this article applies to:

  • Swiff Chart Generator 2


Follow the steps below to install and run one of the Swiff Chart Generator Servlet samples:

  1. Download the Swiff Chart Generator java package SwiffChart.jar from the links below:
    For UNIX
      SwiffChart.jar (UNIX) 
    For Windows   
      SwiffChart.jar (Windows) 

    Make sure you have downloaded the JAR file that corresponds to your system (Unix or Windows).

  2. Copy the selected java sample code form the Knowledge Base into a file named <sample_class_name>.java where sample_class_name is the name of the java class used in the sample.
  3. Setup Swiff Chart Generator installation directory.

    Windows: Edit the JSP source code and replace the following line:
    String installation_dir= "/usr/local/SwiffChart";
    - by -
    String installation_dir= <Swiff_Chart_Generator_install_dir_path>;
    where <Swiff_Chart_Generator_install_dir_path> is the pathname of Swiff Chart Generator installation directory (usually "C:/Program Files/GlobFX Technologies/Swiff Chart Generator").

    Unix: If Swiff Chart Generator installation directory on your system is not /usr/local/SwiffChart, you must modify the JSP source code to specify the valid installation directory, replace the following line of code:
    String installation_dir= "/usr/local/SwiffChart";
    - by -
    String installation_dir= <Swiff_Chart_Generator_install_dir_path>;

  4. Compile <sample_class_name>.java with the appropriate CLASSPATH. Note that servlet samples require the Swiff Chart Generator java package SwiffChart.jar as well as the standard J2EE servlet package.
    javac -classpath <J2EE Servlet Package>:SwiffChart.jar <sample_class_name>.java
  5. Install the generated class file <sample_class_name>.class as well as the the Swiff Chart Generator java package SwiffChart.jar on your Servlet Application Server.
