reading custom tags from input xml to charts.

[shobhit]

 HI,

 

I am trying to pass on some additional information to the charts and i want it to be passed along with the XML as custom tags to it so that i can later on retrieve it for specific purpose.

 

Is there a  way using chartFX api calls i can read in those custom tags, like the way we do in SAX parsing.

 

eg of my input xml:

 <?xml version="1.0"?><CHARTFX>  <REPORTTYPES>charts,grids</REPORTTYPES>  <COLUMNS>   <COLUMN NAME="c0" TYPE="String" DESCRIPTION="abc" />   <COLUMN NAME="c1" TYPE="Double" DESCRIPTION="xyz" />   <COLUMN NAME="c2" TYPE="Double" DESCRIPTION="Count" />  </COLUMNS>  <ROW c0="a" c2="10.0"></ROW>  <ROW c0="b" c2="17.0"></ROW>  <ROW c0="c" c1="107727.0" c2="389.0"></ROW>  <ROW c0="d" c1="-13481.0" c2="489.0"></ROW>  <ROW c0="e" c1="61012.0" c2="501.0"></ROW>  <ROW c0="f" c1="107264.0" c2="981.0"></ROW>  <ROW c0="g" c1="-5998.0" c2="95.0"></ROW></CHARTFX>

 here in this case i want to read the value provided in custom tags named "REPORTTYPES"

 

Thanx,

 or a quick fix could be :

 Is there a possibility  for me to retrieve back the inputxml which was loaded into the chartServer object at some later stage. Then having that xml as string or as dom object, i can further do DOM parsing.

Hi,

Since the ReportTypes tag is not part of Chart FX, this tag will not be available when you export the data of the Chart, however you can store the XML somewhere (session variable maybe) and parse it later using DOM to achieve your goals.
