How to create graphs on JSP page in JDeveloper 10.1.3

Question

Hi all,
Is there an easy way to create graph objects with JDeveloper 10.1.3? I have taken a look to some tutorials, but it looks like they all use the "drag/drop graph from the data control palette" method.
E.g. I got example 88 to work from http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html, but I have no idea how to get the BIGraphDef1.xml object and how to link it to a set of data.
Are there some tutorials to show how graphs can be used in JDev 10.1.3?

Frank,
This is what I did to implement the graphic manual, but I think, I forgot something...
1. create a new application with projects DataModel and UserInterface
2. in the DataModel I created a similar master/detail view as the one of Steve, this is named:
TestModuleDataControl
\--DepView
__\--Deptno
__\--Dname
__\--Loc
__\--EmpView1
____\--Sal
3. I created a new jspx page and added a graph tag:
<f:verbatim>
<graph:Graph data="${bindings.DepartmentsEmployeesInDepartmentGraph}"
imageHeight="200" imageWidth="400"/>
</f:verbatim>
4. in the page definitions I added
<graph id="DepartmentsEmployeesInDepartmentGraph"
IterBinding="EmployeesInDepartmentIterator"
ControlClass="oracle.dss.graph.Graph"
SeriesLabel="Ename"
GraphPropertiesFileName="userinterface.BIGrap1hDef1"
SeriesType="SINGLE_SERIES">
<AttrNames>
<Item Value="Sal"/>
</AttrNames>
</graph>
5. I added also the iterator:
<iterator id="EmployeesInDepartmentIterator" Binds="EmpView1" RangeSize="10"
DataControl="TestModuleDataControl"/>
6. I copy/pasted the BIGraphDef1.xml from Steve's project into 'Application Sources'\userinterface.
7. in the web.xml file in WEB-INF I added:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>GraphGeneratorServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>oracle.jbo.html.jsp.graph.GraphGeneratorServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>GraphGeneratorServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/GraphGeneratorServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
8. when I run the page, I can't see the graph and there are also no errors. I think I mis a global setting somewhere...
Is there anything I forgot to do?
note: if I add a new jsp page into steve's application, I do can see the graph if I perform the steps mentioned above...
I just found out that, If I create the graph on a page which is in the root directory, then it works. If I put it in a subdirectory, it doesn't:
- create graph as mentioned above on a page: web content/myGraph.jspx --> works
- create graph as mentioned above on a page: web content/app/myGraph.jspx --> doesn't work...
Does somebody know where to put a setting/parameter to get the Graph visible in the subdirectory app?
