Hi,
I want to generate a number of rectangular boxes with text in each box just like flowcharts.I havent tried anuthing on this but just have the concept in mind.I want to generate it on the fly using
jsp pages.For this i need to draw the image on to a virtual awt.Panel object.I am using the GifEncoder API provided by acme which encodes the drawn objects to a gif image and sends to the client.this concept is mentioned by Jason Hunter in his book "Java
Servlet programming".
My problem here is that since i want to use the same API from jsp pages and the Api needs to call a method and send the output stream object to it to print the image to the client.now jsp has a out object which is a PrintWriter object.so how can i pass the ServletOutputStream object to it.
The method is :
ServletOutputStream out = res.getOutputStream();
GifEncoder encoder = new GifEncoder(image,out);
