Hi Ganes,

 

First of all, could you please let us know, whether you are trying to export Flash or JavaScript charts on server using J2EE/JSP?

 

If you are exporting JavaScript charts, you would need to setup "Batik" library in your server and make sure PHP and JAVA running in your server.

 

For more information on "Exporting Pure JavaScript Charts > Setup your own server to process and export JavaScript charts", please follow the link below:

http://docs.fusioncharts.com/charts/contents/?exporting-image/ECPureJS.html

 

If you are trying to export Flash Charts using JSP, you would need to use below mentioned FusionCharts library files:

 

1. fcexporter.jar (contains all the dependency classes)

2. fcexporthandler.jar (contains the Export Handler servlet and resources)

3. /classes/fusioncharts_export.properties (configuration file)

 

The detailed step by step instruction for this is given in "Saving exported output on server disk > If J2EE:" section in the link: http://docs.fusioncharts.com/charts/contents/?exporting-image/server-side/ECServerSave.html

 

However, to export multiple charts to server at once, please follow the link: http://kb.fusioncharts.com/questions/451/How+do+I+export+charts+on+the+server+side+in+batch+mode%3F

 

Hope this helps!

 

In case if you are still facing the issue, could you please provide any sample code or error logs, if any, to better look into your issue?

 

Awaiting your response.

Hi Sashi,

 

i am trying to export flash charts using jsp.i had followed the steps mentioned in the given link.

 

step 1) copied two jar files fcexporter.jar and fcexporthandler.jar

2) created fusioncharts_export.properties (configuration file) in classes folder

3) copied below code in web.xml

<servlet>

<display-name>FCExporter</display-name>

<servlet-name>FCExporter</servlet-name>

<servlet-class>com.fusioncharts.exporter.servlet.FCExporter</servlet-class>

<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>FCExporter</servlet-name>

<url-pattern>/jsp/fg/FCExporter</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>

4) FCExporter.jsp in jsp folder

5) added attributes in chart exportEnabled='1' exportAtClient='0' exportAction='download' exportHandler='/jsp/fg/FCExporter.jsp'

6) created chart_images folder in Webcontent for save path.

 

its not giving any error i.e. nothing is happening after rendering the charts. please find the attached files for your reference.

Hi Ganesh,

 

 

The attribute "exportHandler" in the chart element should contain the value of the export handler .ie. FCExporter. FCExporter is a servlet packed in the jar files which helps in exporting the charts.

 

Please find a sample demo attached for exporting multiple charts on server.

 

Please let us know if the demo provided is helpful.

Hi Ganesh,

 

The error 404 occurs when the path for the saved image is not found in the path specified in HTTP_URI property of "fusioncharts_export.properties".

 

Please check if the path specified in the SAVEPATH and HTTP_URI match to ensure that you are retrieving from the same path where the images are getting stored.

 

 

Eg. In the sample demo sent, the folder ExportedImages is present in WebContent.

 

SAVEPATH=./ExportedImages/
HTTP_URI=http://localhost:8080/ExportCharts/ExportedImages/

 

You could also send us your sample application for further testing.

 

Awaiting your response.

Hi Haritha,

                    where to specify the exported chart image file name

.i am seeing the file being exported but they are with different names, something which fusion charts itself names.. 

[Swarnam]

Hi,

 

"exportFileName" attribute will specify the name(excluding the extension) of the output (export) file. This has to be passed to XML/JSON data within the chart element.

Hope this helps.
