PlotFaces takes a different, more code based, approach to charting than other JSF libraries and as such you won’t see hundreds of attributes on the JSF chart tags. For simple charts an attribute base approach to configuration works well. For example a page author could specify the x-axis label with an attribute like this xaxislabel=”foo” and …
PlotFaces is evolving quickly at the moment so rather than clutter the bug tracker with every little thing that I come across that needs fixing or improving I’m currently maintaining a list here. Once I’m happy PlotFaces is broadly feature complete and bug free I’ll switch over to using the bug tracker. Rest assured the …
PlotFaces is a suite of JSF components built on top of the excellent jqPlot JavaScript charting library. The aim of PlotFaces is to make it simple for programmers to create great looking JavaScript based charts whilst also exposing the rich set of configuration options jqPlot offers.
This little hint is perhaps a bit vague but it’s not completely clear where the problem lies but I know what fixed it.
Here’s a problem you don’t see everyday which really shows up the stupidity of the whole case sensitive / insensitive filesystem battle between Windows and Unix like operating systems. Fortunately a lot of work has been done to make the two different schools of thought play together nicely but occasionally something falls through the cracks …
This article will cover a method that can be used to include more than one entity type in a tree (the same system will work for other widgets such as lists and tables) by using a proxy holder. The previous articles in this series covered setting up the demo application and getting started with JPA.
The humble label is probably one of the most used widgets in the UI designers toolkit so getting to know it inside and out is important. A common task it is to update a label to display some new information depending on the state of the application. Depending on where that new information comes from …
I’ve taken a short break from the JavaFX and JPA series of articles because I wanted to start a new project that demonstrates common day to day tasks in JavaFX. I’ve called this project SampleFX5 and you can download it here.
In the first part of this series I gave an over view of the project and how to install and run it. Now I’ll cover the JPA aspects of the project.
So you’ve just finished parsing a document with your validating namespace aware document factory and you’ve gone to select some nodes using XPath and nothing has appeared (no nodes where selected). You’ve tried changing the XPath expression, making it simpler and simpler and still nothing. Chances are it’s not he XPath that’s at fault it’s …
