i've only used jfreechart with struts2 (not portlets) and its more to do with the way the result is returned than the action class itself.
in struts.xml i have <result-type name="chart" class="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ChartResult"/> and then referenced in action definition <action name="GenerateChart" class="uk.co.acudev.actions.GenerateChart"> <result name="success" type="chart"> <param name="width">400</param> <param name="height">400</param> </result> </action> then in action the field chart will have my generated chart ready to be picked up by result processing private JFreeChart chart; not sure of that helps adam > Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2010 14:39:54 +0200 > Subject: Possible to combine struts2-portlet-plugin and > struts2-jfreechart-plugin? > From: perj...@gmail.com > To: user@struts.apache.org > > Hi, > In my development team we have just started to use the > struts2-portlet-plugin. > We want to create a portlet that renders a chart to include in a page, and > we try to use the struts2-jfreechart-plugin for this.
