How do I use PJAToolkit to solve x11 problem on UNIX box?

jred33 · Post by **jred33** » Fri Aug 08, 2003 1:44 pm

Ok. I have read all the posts out there and I still am coming up with undesirable results. Can someone explain the steps I need to do to get JFreeChart working on a UNIX box (Weblogic and JDK 1.3) using the PJAToolkit?

I have already downloaded pja.jar and pjatools.jar

I put those in the java classpath. When I try to run any of my charts, I get

java.lang.Error: Could not find class: com.eteks.awt.PJAToolkit

Thanks in advance.

You have to add the libraries to the boot classpath, not the normal classpath, and then pass additional options to the JVM, like:
-Xbootclasspath/a:${PJALIB}/pja.jar -Dawt.toolkit=com.eteks.awt.PJAToolkit -Djava.awt.graphicsenv=com.eteks.java2d.PJAGraphicsEnvironment -Djava2d.font.usePlatormFont=false -Djava.awt.fonts=/usr/j2se/jre/lib/fonts.

When using Tomcat, these options can be added to the CATALINA_OPTS environment variable, before starting Tomcat.

This is working for me on Solaris 8.

Georg

I am going to go and try that right now. I am having the sys. admin. change the options as I type this.
I will let you know the results!

Thanks again for the help.

See Georg's post above.

"You have to add the libraries to the boot classpath, not the normal classpath, and then pass additional options to the JVM, like:
-Xbootclasspath/a:${PJALIB}/pja.jar -Dawt.toolkit=com.eteks.awt.PJAToolkit -Djava.awt.graphicsenv=com.eteks.java2d.PJAGraphicsEnvironment -Djava2d.font.usePlatormFont=false -Djava.awt.fonts=/usr/j2se/jre/lib/fonts. "

Changing from the normal classpath to the boot classpath moved me further along. My next problem looks to be adding the java.awt.fonts property. That also seems to be required.

Jeremy,

the options I posted work for me on a Tomcat/Solaris 2.8 box. They worked with Tomcat 3.2.1 and now they work with 1.4.0.

Sorry, I cannot give you more info on this (no Weblogic available).

Most probably, moving to 1.4.1 would be the best solution, but I guess, that road is blocked in your city...
