Graphs in JSF

[nitin pokhriyal]

Hi all,

I need to implement a graph in JSf. I saw batik-svg and jfreechart. All of them creates a image or svg but i don't have option to save these file to server. Can anybody have idea which is best suited to my requirement.?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
Nitin

JFreeChart can save images just fine - the ChartUtilities class has several convenience methods for that. It supports PNG and JPEG, and it's not hard to extend that for GIF and TIFF if need be.

if JFreechart creates images where these images will be stored. Is there a way out of not using images

if JFreechart creates images where these images will be stored.

Check the javadocs of the methods in ChartUtilities, and it should become clear what you need to do.

Is there a way out of not using images

Not sure what you're asking - you DO want to use an image, no?

Actually i don't want to use image. Thanks for you replies. I will go through javadocs and takes things from here.. thanks for your help and time

Hi,

you can use PrimeFaces charts as it is very easy to use and it is very lightweight. You can have ajax in charts also.

PrimeFaces chart.

Even I suggest PrimeFaces.

You can also find a sample tutorial for graphs in jsf at:

Hope this helps!

Thanks to all of you looks like primefaces is right choice for me.

If you're looking for a JSP tag library that doesn't save images on the server, then cewolf might be the way to go; see my signature for details.

I ended up using prime faces. It really fullfilled my requirement and look-feel was also very nice. Thanks to all of you
