JBoss doesn't like it that much. > Again, fault of using JBoss at all? Actually, there's a bundle of JBoss with a version of Tomcat at JBoss.org. No clue about setting those two up together but I know people in this list have done so; perhaps someone should do a good thing and supply with the documentation for this (item 1 ;-) > > > dynamically created using SVG (anybody?) > > Sure ;-) > You are probably ironic here regarding the complexity > of SVG.

Worst of all, it will require us to be serious and eager to do the job. Kindest regards, Manos
