Jdev 11g: several attributes are not supported by "simple" graph types

Question

Hi,
My question is especially for Jdev development team. I want to discuss this issues first in this forum before I open a SR at Oracle Support.
Several attributes from dvt:graph are not supported in dvt:areagraph, dvt:linegraph or dvt:bargraph.
- TimeSelectorListener
- TimeRangeMode
- TimeAxisType --> supported for dvt:linegraph but not for dvt:areagraph. Why?
- TimeAxisListener
- TimeZone
- ExplicitTimeRangeStart
- ExplicitTimeRangeEnd
- ContinuousTimeAxisInterval
This means if I want (need) to use some of this attributes I need to use dvt:graph (advanced graph).
But here is the next problem:
This type of graph can't be selected from component palette or graph create wizard.
It's still possible to "convert" e.g. a dvt:linegraph to dvt:graph by editing the source code of jspx but in my opinion this should not be the normal way!
I also didn't get a clear answere if dvt:graph is desupported or will be desupported in the next release(s)
(see my previous post about advanced graph: Jdev 11g: Advanced graph no longer supported?
Conclusio:
======
If the attributes I mention above are still supported and needed (also in further releases) than they either need to be supported by the relevant simple graph tags or dvt:graph must be selectable from component palette.
If dvt:graph is planned to be de-supported in further releases than this should be made public to avoid development of applications with non-supported components.

Peter,
you should have followed up on the thread you reference. First of all, Katia gave you the answer of how to get the listener working
"The recommended way is to create a line graph, and then add a time selector tag (like Peter pointed out).
However, since in the dvt:lineGraph there is no attribute for the time selector listener, you need to add the listener in the backing bean.
Here are the code snippets:
In jspx:
<dvt:lineGraph id="master"
value="#{bindings.master1Graph.graphModel}"
style="Comet"
imageFormat="FLASH" imageWidth="400"
binding="#{sampleGraph.richTimeSelectorMasterGraph}"
animationOnDisplay="AUTO"
imageHeight="250">
<dvt:legendArea rendered="false"/>
<dvt:timeSelector explicitStart="#{sampleGraph.startDate}" explicitEnd="#{sampleGraph.endDate}" fillColor="#33FFFFFF" borderColor="#313675" mode="EXPLICIT" />
<dvt:seriesSet defaultMarkerType="MT_CURVE_LINE">
<dvt:series id="0" color="#FDB026"/>
</dvt:seriesSet>
</dvt:lineGraph>
In the backing bean:
public UIGraph getRichTimeSelectorMasterGraph()
if (m_richTimeSelectorMasterGraph == null)
m_richTimeSelectorMasterGraph = new UIGraph();
m_richTimeSelectorMasterGraph.addTimeSelectorListener(this);
return m_richTimeSelectorMasterGraph;
public void setRichTimeSelectorMasterGraph(UIGraph graph)
m_richTimeSelectorMasterGraph = graph;
Second, you got Katia's attention already and this is as much developer contact you can get on this forum. Katia ia the product manager for DVT
