Using NetCharts® Pro for Server-Side Chart Generation

The simplest approach is to have a server-side architecture that calls NetCharts Pro from a servlet.

NetCharts Pro called from a servlet

A servlet is a Java program that is launched by a web server in response to a request from a web browser. Since servlets are written in Java, they can easily create and manipulate NetCharts Pro chart objects.

More complicated servlets contain business logic to dynamically generate data to be used in the chart.

Using NetCharts Pro for more complicated servlets

The user creates Java code in the servlet to extract data from their proprietary data sources and feed it into a NetCharts Pro chart. The servlet then gets an image of the chart, and returns it to the web server.

NetCharts Pro can be called directly from Java Server Pages (JSPs) to create chart images:
