problem using JDBCXYChartDemo demo

Post by md315 » Tue Jul 20, 2004 1:16 am

I just purchased the documentation for JFreeChart and tried using one of the demo's for doing a JDBC XY chart called JDBCXYChartDemo.java .
I can get it to compile ok but when I step through debugging it the demo crashes while doing createTimeSeriesChart.

Error:

Code: Select all

To followup, it appears that many (if not all) of the premium demo's give me the same error. But I don't get this error if I run the main jfreechart demo. Both are 9.20...

My first thought is that maybe you don't have the correct version of JCommon (jcommon-0.9.5.jar is required). If it isn't that, can you tell me some more details about your operating environment (OS, JDK version) - I'm seeing a few reports of this problem, and I'd like to figure out the cause.

I think I figured it out. I am using JFreeReports (jfreereport-0.8.4_10) in the same project which has a different JCommon jar within it's lib's. When I created a project for charts on it's own it worked fine.

Yes, I am using JBuilder X and and I had to download the 0.9.5 common lib from SourceForge (I had downloaded the 0.9.4 at jfree.org which is why I think so many people have this problem, the web site needs to be updated).

And I also needed to move it to the top of the classpath... I can now have the reports and the charts in the same project and no problems.
