Chart Builder with JSF

Question

Hi guys I have this task: I need to display a chart for certain data.
For start I took one of the sample that came with the Chart Builder API, it draws the chart as a JPG image and stores it somewhere. Now I did the following:
1- Create a jspx page using the faces-config page.
2- Write the code that builds the chart and stores it in the application module implementation class.
3- This method returns the path where the image was stored.
4- Expose the method.
5- Drop the return value of the method (the return value is the path where the image was stored) on the jspx page as an outputText.
6- Create a invokeAction binding to invoke the method when the page loads: refresh = prepare model, condition = ${!adfFacesContext.postback}.
7- Drop an image component and set the path to the return value of the method: Src = #{bindings.createContractsChart1.inputValue}
Now when executing I have the following problems:
1- the method is executing twice (maybe because I droped the return value on the page, and I also made a invoke action)
2- the picture is not displayed, now I know that the picture is created, and the path is displayed in the outputText.
3- Now I don't know if you have the answer to this, I need to set the path where the image will be saved, in the sample they do the following:
File file = new File(".", filename);
and I get the following path:
C:\JDeveloper\jdev\system\oracle.j2ee.10.1.3.40.66\embedded-oc4j\config\.\contractsChart.jpg
Now I want to save the picture in something like this:
C:\JDeveloper\jdev\mywork\AdraApp\ViewController\public_html\images
but without the "C:\JDeveloper\jdev\mywork\" part because I don't know when the application will be deployed where it'll be deployed.
Thank you in advance for your reply. maybe if you don't have answers to my questions you can propose a better approach.
