IBM WebSphere Application Server

In version 6.x, the chart.jar file located in the {WAS_HOME}/lib directory is an outdated version (it is from version 4.5.1). The default class loader policy loads classes from that file first. To ensure that the latest chart.jar file is being used, either change the classloader policy of the webmodule to parent_Last or delete chart.jar from the {WAS_HOME}/lib directory.

n/a

In version 5.1.1.x, before deploying the JClass ServerViews examples using the server-samples.war WAR file, you need to remove the commons-logging-api.jar from the WEB-INF/lib directory of the server-samples.war.

n/a

In version 6.1 on AIX 5.3, some of the drilldown features are not working in the JSF (KL Group Investments) demo. Workaround: Change the class loader mode of the web application to PARENT_LAST.

Sun JavaServer Faces

The JSF version that is included in the server-samples.war file is the 1_1_01 reference implementation provided by Sun. Many current versions of application servers come bundled with JSF. The version included in the application server may clash with the one in the war file. You can do one of three things:

1. Remove the following jars from the war file (these are in the WEB-INF/lib directory): jsf-api.jar, jsf-impl.jar, jstl.jar, standard.jar, commons-beanutils.jar, commons-collections.jar, commons-digester.jar, commons-logging-api.jar. This will allow the JSF implementation in the application server to be used.
2. If you want to use the implementation in the war file, make sure these jars are in the classpath before the ones from the implementation in the application server.
3. Remove the bundled JSF from the application server. You should know what you are doing when trying this option.

• JBoss 4.2.x requires option 1 (PR 63318)
• JBoss 4.0.x requires option 3. The MyFaces implementation must be removed in order for the demos and examples to run properly. See Using the JSF Reference Implementation at http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossWithIntegratedMyFaces.
• For IBM WebSphere Application Server, you will need to remove the chart.jar from the ${WAS_HOME}/lib directory.

Any Platform:
Font Issues

When running ServerReport applications, it is normal that warning messages are reported regarding fonts in the default directories. If the fonts that are listed in the warning message are not being used, they can be ignored. Workaround: To disable warning messages, call FontLibrary.setSuppressErrorMessages(true).

n/a

Some platforms may include files in standard font directories which end with .ttf that are not, in fact, TrueType font files. This will cause JClass ServerReport to display errors during its automatic font loading phase. The errors can be safely ignored or, if they are too intrusive, automatic font loading can be turned off by calling:
FontLibrary.setAutoLoad(false);
If automatic font loading is turned off, any TrueType fonts that you wish to use inside JClass ServerReport must be manually loaded with the FontLibrary.addFont() or FontLibrary.addRelativeFont()methods.
