+Cewolf can be used inside a Servlet/JSP based web +application to embed complex graphical charts of all kinds (e.g. line, +pie, bar chart, plots, etc.) into a web page. Therefore it provides a +full featured tag library to define all properties of the chart (colors, +strokes, legend, etc.). Thus the JSP which embedds the chart is not +polluted with any java code. Everything is described with XML conform +tags.
+Cewolf is based on JFreeChart and +uses it's rendering engine to render the final chart image into the +clients response stream. No files are created on server side. Everything +is based on lightweight session objects and dynamic data analysis. +Cewolf consists of one servlet which handles the chart rendering and a +taglibrary which translates the chart definition included in the JSP +into an HTML img tag which consults the rendering servlet for retrieval +of the appropriate chart.
+Simce the project has been funded in the middle of 2002 there have +been more then 150.000 page views and 16.000 downloads +(Sourceforge activity max: >99,7%).

You can simply define a chart by including a chart tag into your JSP +like this:
+<cewolf:chart+
id="XYChart"
type="xy"
title="XYChart"
<cewolf:gradient>
<cewolf:point x="0" y="0" color="#FFFFFF"/>
<cewolf:point x="0" y="300" color="#C8C8C8"/>
</cewolf:gradient>
<cewolf:data>
<cewolf:producer id="xyData"/>
</cewolf:data>
</cewolf:chart>
<cewolf:img chartid="XYChart" renderer="cewolf" width="400" height="300"/>
This results in a rendered chart like this:
+ +As you can see only the view is defined in the JSP page. The model +is produced by a so called DataProducer which must be available in the +pageContext of the JSP.
