NullPointer exception when rendering Chart as ActiveX control in GWT

[markosem]

I'm trying evaluate the use of ChartFX with GWT (Google Web Toolkit) for one of our projects.

We need to have an interactive chart (ActiveX control) within our GWT Application running on Tomcat 5.5. Charts are rendered as PNG and JPG formats no problems there but when rendering as ActiveX control. It is throwing a NullPointer exception.

Here's the code which gives me the tag for embedding in the GWT panels.

 ChartServer.setConfigPath("C:\\webapps\\ROOT\\WEB-INF\\lib");

 

ChartServer chart1 = new ChartServer();

 

java.util.Random r = new java.util.Random(1);

 

chart1.setGallery(Gallery.LINES);

chart1.setMarkerSize((

short) 4);chart1.setLineWidth((short) 1);

 

//Populating the chart with random datachart1.openData(COD.VALUES, 3, 10);for (int j = 0;j<10;j++)

{

chart1.getValue().setItem(0, j, r.nextDouble() * 50);

chart1.getValue().setItem(1, j, (r.nextDouble() * 80) + 50);

chart1.getValue().setItem(2, j, (r.nextDouble() * 100) + 100);

}

chart1.closeData(COD.VALUES);

 

chart1.setImgMap(ImgMap.TITLE_TIP);chart1.setSmoothFlags(SmoothFlags.FILL | SmoothFlags.BORDER);

 

String tag = chart1.getHtmlTag("600","400","ActiveX");

 

return tag;

 

And here's the exception stacktrace.
