SingleSourcing: Server Side Image [message #869783]

Hallo,

just an other question about SingleSourcing.

I have a method, that draws a graph using a GC:

drawGraph(GC gc)...

I can draw the graphic using a RAP GC and see the result in the application running on the browser.

But how can this graphic be saved (downloaded) ?

I can't create a GC for a server side empty Image, to create the Graph in the memory of the server and use ImageLoader.save() to create a file for a download.

Is there a way to create a (pure) server side GC / Image ?

Regards

Marc

Marc,

as you already figured out, drawing images with GC isn't yet supported
[1]. The only workaround I know is to draw onto AWT BufferedImages and
deliver them as resources. See this FAQ entry [2] for a short how-to.
