EspressChart Architecture & Deployment
EspressChart has a number of different configurations in which it can run
at design-time and at run-time. The diagram below shows a sample layout
for application/applet and servlet/JSP configurations.
EspressChart deployment can be as simple as including some API classes in
servlet/JSP code. The Chart API can retrieve data from enterprise data
sources and build dynamic charts on the fly. User's can also run charts
using pre-defined templates created in the Chart Designer.
EspressChart can also generate charts on headless Unix systems. Using either
Java 1.4 headless, the PJA Toolkit from eTeks, or XVFB, EspressChart can add
dynamic charting to applications regardless of platform.
