Hi,
I am trying to improve my JBoss Portal dashboard using some analytical charting tools then I found VisiFire. So I started to investigate how I could deploy a simple VisiFire page as a portlet onto JBoss Portal dashboard. Below is what I did: - I created a dummy portlet (display "Hello World" on the index page, index.html) - Replaced the content of the index.html with a simple chart which would be rendered by VisiFire:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Visifire Charts</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" >
</script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- To embed in existing html copy the code below -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="Visifire.js"></script>
<div id="VisifireChart">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var chartXmlString = ''
+'<vc:Chart xmlns:vc="clr-namespace:Visifire.Charts;assembly=SLVisifire.Charts" Width="500" Height="300" BorderThickness="0" Theme="Theme1" ToolBarEnabled="True" >'
+'<vc:Chart.Titles>'
+'<vc:Title Text="Global Fortune 5 Companies 2007" />'
+'</vc:Chart.Titles>'
+'<vc:Chart.AxesX>'
+'<vc:Axis Title="Companies" />'
+'</vc:Chart.AxesX>'
+'<vc:Chart.AxesY>'
+'<vc:Axis Title="Revenue in Million dollars" AxisType="Primary" />'
+'</vc:Chart.AxesY>'
+'<vc:Chart.Series>'
+'<vc:DataSeries RenderAs="Column" AxisYType="Primary" >'
+'<vc:DataSeries.DataPoints>'
+'<vc:DataPoint AxisXLabel="Wall-Mart" YValue="351139" />'
+'<vc:DataPoint AxisXLabel="Exxon Mobil" YValue="345254" />'
+'<vc:DataPoint AxisXLabel="Shell" YValue="318845" />'
+'<vc:DataPoint AxisXLabel="BP" YValue="274316" />'
+'<vc:DataPoint AxisXLabel="General Motors" YValue="207349" />'
+'</vc:DataSeries.DataPoints>'
+'</vc:DataSeries>'
+'</vc:Chart.Series>'
+'</vc:Chart>';
var vChart = new Visifire("SL.Visifire.Charts.xap" , 500 , 300 );
vChart.setDataXml(chartXmlString);
vChart.render("VisifireChart");
</script>
</div>
<!-- Copy till here -->
</body>
</html>
- I downloaded the VisiFire 3.6.1 Silverlight binaries and copied into the same directory as the index.html
- I updated the web.xml with the MIME type: xamlapplication/xaml+xml xapapplication/x-silverlight-app
- I deployed it onto my local JBoss AS, but the portlet is blank
I have been google around but could not find any useful information on how to deploy a portlet contains VisiFire Silverlight chart onto JBoss Portal. Have I don't anything stupidly unreasonable? Any hints or sample codes would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance
