Charting component libraries

Hello people,
We are currently looking for a charting component library to replace our need to develop the charts ourselves. We need the charts available for both the normal java-application and a servlet based web-application. Can anyone recommend any products/libraries and give some feedback on using them?
How was the support for the product?
Have you encountered any bugs?
How did you find the performance and pricing?
What is your general feel of the product?
etc. etc. whatever comes to mind.
We have been especially looking at MonarchCharts lately (http://www.singleton-labs.com/mcharts.html) which seems to have the charts we need and the graphics are very good looking. Does anyone have any experience on this?
We also looked at http://www.visualmining.com/ which was very feature-rich and good looking but seemed a bit expensive.
http://www.objectplanet.com/EasyCharts/ looked ok except that it seems to be missing some of the charts we need. any experience on these?
thanks,
-teka

Did you try out JFreeChart?

Complete source code is included (subject to the GNU LGPL), so you can extend JFreeChart easily, if you need to.

Do we have any third party FLEX component libraries to support accessibility feature for all the components(like: ViewStack, ToggleButtonBar, charts and etc..) ?

I am working on FLEX 4.6 SDK it provides 35 components with built in accessibility support. My Application contains some components which have no built in accessibility support but I need to provide accessibility support for those components too. I have gone through the Flex docs to customize the non accessible components to support accessibility feature, But the docs where not clear. To customize a single component I have to overwrite lot of code in SDK level.
and it takes lot of effort.
So, I would like to use FLEX component libraries which provides accessibility support for all the component.
Could you please guide me how can I provide accessibility support for other components with out putting more effort on it.
Thanks in advance...

There is already such thing in myfaces called "security context" [1]. You could find build of sandbox.jar [2]

Crystal Reports 2008 Charting Component

When attempting to create a new report using the bar chart type, I receive the following error from the report wizard:
Crystal Reports Charting Component sscsdk80.dll could not be found
Please re-run the installation to fix this problem.
I have re-run the installation, selecting additional features of custom charting, and mapping and it did not solve the problem. I have tried to manually register sscsdk80.dll with regsvr32 and that fails:
Load Library Failed. The specified module could not be found. Which must refer to a dependency (?) of that .dll since sscsdk80.dll is obviously present.
I have tried copying sscsdk80.dll to the windows\system32 directory and manually registering with regsvr32 and that fails as well.
Any help would be appreciated. Trying to avoid un-installing and re-installing the entire Crystal Reports 2008 application.

We had 2 users with this error this week, both on CR2008 SP2.
The file is located here, assuming BO/Crystal is installed to the default location: C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
I copied the .dll file to this location: C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\4.0\bin
That stopped the error coming up and the graphs are displaying correctly. Had a similar error with the keydecoder.dll which I resolved by doing the above. Re-installing SP2 fixed the keydecoder.dll error for a while but then it started re-occuring and I tried the above fix, and the error hasn't come back.
We're on XP SP3.

Module Chart component Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference

Is there a known bug when displaying a chart component that is defined in a module. When attempting to display a chart component defined in a module it crashes indicating Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
It crashes at the following location in ChartBase.as. Somehow when loading the chart the styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.charts.chartClasses.ChartBase"); returns null so when using the setStyle methods the exception occurs.
private function initStyles():Boolean
        HaloDefaults.init(styleManager);
var chartBaseStyle:CSSStyleDeclaration = styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("mx.charts.chartClasses.ChartBase");
chartBaseStyle.setStyle("chartSeriesStyles", HaloDefaults.chartBaseChartSeriesStyles);
chartBaseStyle.setStyle("fill", new SolidColor(0xFFFFFF, 0));
chartBaseStyle.setStyle("calloutStroke", new SolidColorStroke(0x888888,2));
        return true;
Added note: There is a chart component in the application that works fine. The only way I can get the chart in the module to display is to add the following workaround preinitializer but it severly impacts the loading of the module. Is there a way around this.
protected function preinitializeHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
   var styleObjects:Array = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.styleManager.selectors;
   for each(var styleObj:String in styleObjects) {
    var style:CSSStyleDeclaration = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.styleManager.getStyleDeclaration(styleObj);
    styleManager.setStyleDeclaration(styleObj, style, true);
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Please help me out to get solution for this problem.
Thanks in advance...

Thanks Dan and Patrick for your reply
Yah Dan , When I add Month Number to Month attribute then the months are displayed in the order . But we don't want to show up the month number in the chart .
Is there are any possibility of displaying one attribute in the chart and sorting should be done based on another attribute I.e I want to display MonthName attribute in the chart and the sorting should be done based on MonthNumber Attribute. I did not see such kind of feature available in Chart Configuration.
As you said I configured my Chart for RecordCount VS MonthNumber attribute and the Chart displays MonthNumber attribute in order - But our requirement is to display MonthName instead of instead MonthNumber .
Patrick,
I was able to understand your reply , But where can i find the Supported Extension Points in Studio inorder to manually set the order by when the query gets sent to the server.
Thanks In Advance.

Chart component Library for JSF.

HI,
I've been testing the chart component library for JSF:
http://jschart.sourceforge.net
And it's very powerfull, but I think, is necessary more info about to develop appz with this.
Anyone knows, a blog or a web that contains any example of the use?
I've been working for days with the HOW TO in this web but it's very simply.
Thx in advance!!!
Regards.

I have successfully used the jfreechart (cewolf) charting library with creator...its simple to use but also allows complex charts if you wish....

Gantt Chart Component demo - download

Hi,
Is this possible to download demo application presented in The Gantt Chart Component (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/viewlets/11/index.html). In our team we plan to start SCRUM methodology and we would like to write similar application in ADF RC to manage our projects. It would be nice to have any sample.

Any open source component libraries...?

I could very well be getting ahead of myself but I�ve been curious as of late. Are there any Open Source groups out there (that browse these forums) planning on developing some component libraries for JSF? I definitely see the need for some extended functionality in the area of data access.

Yes.... I've been working on one, but unfortunately, I can only do this in my spare time, which has been quite limited lately due to other projects. We'll announce something in this group when there's something worth taking a look at. Right now, there are only about 5 components, and two of these are layouts, containers, rather than widgets.

New Flex Charting Component

Hello everyone,
We've just released a new charting component for Flex -
FusionCharts for Flex (beta). It works with both Flex 2 and 3. You
may download the same from
http://www.fusioncharts.com/flex
We would love to have your feedback/suggestions.
Thanks,
Pallav
P.S. I apologize if I've made this sound like an advert - but
our main aim is to get maximum feedback from Flex developers so
that we can enhance our product for your benefits.

Ok, I've got a basic renderer to render a UISelectOne component. I added the xml to the faces-context.xml. Now how to I add my new renderer to the tag? I see there is a setRendereType but how to I get at this to set it? Do I have to create a new tag?

Custom Chart Component

Hello all.
I need to make a new chart component or extend the LineChart
component thats part of Flex 2.0.
My problem is that I'm new to flex and don't know where to
start.
So my questions to you are:
Is the codebase for the Chart components available somewhere
for me to look-at/alter?
Where can I find some good resources about how to make my own
components?
Endre

Creating a new chart is a fairly complex task, even for
seasoned Flex developers.
What doesn't the LineChart do that you need it to do? It may
be that properties exist to alter its behavior. Or maybe you just
need to make new type of itemRenderer for the lines.
Look at the Flex 2.0 documentation on custom components to
get some ideas; those sections however, are not geared toward the
charts.
Finally, if you have a license for the charts, you should
have the source in the Flex 2 SDK folder somewhere. Look for the
mx/charts folder structure.

Gantt Chart component not showing the duration (Safari and FireFox on OS X

Hi,
I created a Gantt Chart component that should show the duration of several project tasks in a graphical way. I did not specify subtasks, only tasks.
Because this is a rather simple thing to do (see http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18941_01/tutorials/jdtut_11r2_58/jdtut_11r2_58_3.html), and apparently the graphical part of the Gantt chart is not shown on my Mac, I would like to know whether someone has tried this on a Windows machine and got it working?
Kind regards,
Philip

In Safari, the "sample" page loads and it shows the graphical part of the Gantt. In Firefox the sample page does not load:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
<partial-response><noop/></partial-response>
Thanks Shay!
Maybe the WLS is causing the problems at my side? I also noted the left-right mouse swipe movements to scroll in a panel does not work when using my local JDev and IntegratedWLS, but it does work on your sample page.
Kind regards,
Philip

Chart Component

I'm trying to make a bar chart component to use in my movies.
Iv'e been looking at tutorials on making components and everyone
seems to have a different method and alot don't explain what they
are doing just how to do it for their specific example.
Does anyone know of a good tutorial where it explains what is
happening / know where i can download a already made (simple) bar
chart component to study?
-Using flash mx 2004 pro

There is a very basic chart component in the Extensions area
of the Abobe
Flash website. Search for "Flash Charting Components".
