I'm new at this, but this is what I'm trying. The following JSP causes a grey square to be displayed, but no contents. VolumeSetData retrieves data from a DB, but I'm I haven't figured out how to "get it to the plugin"; neither technique ("global" - like localTitle - in page, or, invocation - vsd.function() - in plugin) works. How am I hosing this up?
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html" %>
<%@ page import="com.pars.chartingTools.*" %>
<%@ page import="java.text.*" %>
<html>
<head><title>XY Plots (Scatter Chart)</title></head>
<body>
Performance data
<jsp:useBean id="vsd" class="com.pars.chartingTools.VolumeSetData" scope="request" />
<jsp:setProperty name="vsd" property="*"/>
<%
String localTitle = vsd.getmyTitle();
out.println("getmyTitle returns " + localTitle);
%>
<jsp:plugin type="applet"
