public abstract class IlvChartServletSupport
extends IlvServletSupport

The IlvChartServletSupport class is the core class of the Chart Servlet framework. It is able to respond to HTTP requests to generate an image from an IlvChart chart. The IlvChartServletSupport class is not a subclass of HttpServlet itself. This allows you to add the functionality of the Chart Servlet framework into your existing servlets. You can do this by invoking handleRequest(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse) from your servlet doGet() method. Alternatively, you can use the IlvChartServlet class as the basis for developing your servlets. It is a lightweight servlet that automatically delegates its HTTP requests to an instance of IlvChartServletSupport.

Since JViews 6.0, the IlvChartServletSupport class supports the DHTML Chart components. DHTML support is based on exchange of data between the servlet and the client. This set of data contains information about the configuration of the chart being displayed. This communication mechanism is hereafter called capabilities.
Capabilities are retrieved from the server by the client through the new "capabilities" request (CAPABILITIES_REQUEST). The expected output format for the capabilities must be specified by means of the "format" request parameter (CAP_FORMAT_PARAM). Beginning with JViews 8.1 the only possible is "json" (JSON_CAP_FORMAT).

Another new feature of this class is the support of two distinct chart components: a main chart and an overview chart. The main chart instance is returned by the getChart(ilog.views.chart.servlet.IlvServletRequestParameters) method. Since this latter method is abstract, subclasses must override this method to return the expected instance. The support of an optional overview chart is enabled through the getOverviewChart(ilog.views.chart.servlet.IlvServletRequestParameters) method that should return an IlvChart instance used as the overview of the main chart (or null for none). An overview chart is typically an IlvChart instance that shares the same data model than the main chart, but whose visible window always fits its data window.
Note that synchronizing the data model of the overview and the main chart is the programmer responsibility.
The parameter value for the "comp" request parameter (see IlvChartServletSupport.COMPONENT_PARAM) corresponding to the overview chart is "overview".

Here is a list of the capabilities generated for the main chart as they appear in the output stream as the properties of a JSON object:

Javascript variable	binary data type	Comments
xVisibleMin	Double	The minimum bound of the x-axis visible range.
xVisibleMax	Double	The maximum bound of the x-axis visible range.
xDataMin	Double	The minimum bound of the x-axis data range.
xDataMax	Double	The maximum bound of the x-axis data range.
yVisibleMin	Double	The minimum bound of the y-axis visible range.
yVisibleMax	Double	The maximum bound of the y-axis visible range.
yDataMin	Double	The minimum bound of the y-axis data range.
yDataMax	Double	The maximum bound of the y-axis data range.
xHorizontal	Boolean	The x-axis orientation as a Boolean value.
xPlotRect	Integer	The plot rectangle x-coordinate.
yPlotRect	Integer	The plot rectangle y-coordinate.
widthPlotRect	Integer	The plot rectangle width.
heightPlotRect	Integer	The plot rectangle height.
dataSets	strings	An array containing the data sets names.

Here is a list of the capabilities generated for the overview chart as they appear in the output stream:

Javascript variable	binary data type	Comments
visLeft	Integer	The visible rectangle x-coordinate.
visTop	Integer	The visible rectangle y-coordinate.
visWidth	Integer	The visible rectangle width.
visHeight	Integer	The visible rectangle height.

This new class also extends the basic functionalities with several new features:

the ability to specify the chart visible window of the image (or image map) to generate. This is done by means of the xmin, xmax, ymin and ymax request parameters.
the support of server action. Server actions are kind of event handler set on the server side to handle client actions. Server actions are defined through the IlvChartServerAction interface and must be registered on the servlet support via the IlvChartServletSupport.addServerAction method in order to be called. An action is generated from the client side when the IlvChartView.performAction() method is called. This performAction method queries the server for a new image with additional parameters appended to the request so that an action such as zooming, panning, or data points highlighting can be performed before the image is generated.

The IlvChartServletSupport class is abstract. As a minimum, you will have to provide an implementation of the getChart(ilog.views.chart.servlet.IlvServletRequestParameters) method in your concrete subclass.

    handleRequest in class IlvServletSupport
    
    Parameters:
    
    request - The current HTTP request.
    
    response - The HTTP response.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if a recognized request was handled successfully or false if the request type was not recognized. The recognized request types are IMAGE_REQUEST, IMAGEMAP_REQUEST and CAPABILITIES_REQUEST. An exception is thrown if a recognized request is not handled successfully.
    
    Throws:

```
    Writes the image map area tags into the specified writer. This method is invoked on the AWT event dispatch thread during the image map generation process to generate the area tags. The default implementation calls createImageMapBuilder to create a new IlvImageMapBuilder object, and generates the renderer tags according to the IlvIMapDefinition returned by the getIMapDefinition method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    output - The output writer.
    
    params - The parameters parsed from the request.
    
    chart - The IlvChart for the specified request.
    
    Throws:
