Hi,

I want to display an annotated timeline from a csv file. I used the
example in the documentation as a guide. However, I am having trouble
with the date column. I specified in the servlet that the first column
is a date type, but I'm still unable to read and display it. Could you
tell me what else I have to do to specify that the csv file 1st column
is a date? Should I keep the column dates in csv file in a specific
format? Thank You.

Here's the servlet code:

DataTable dataTable = null;
    ULocale requestLocale =
DataSourceHelper.getLocaleFromRequest(request);
    try {

        ColumnDescription cd=new ColumnDescription("start.date",
ValueType.DATE, "start.date");
        ColumnDescription cd2=new ColumnDescription("y-value",
ValueType.NUMBER, "y-value");
      List<ColumnDescription> ls=new ArrayList<ColumnDescription>();
      ls.add(cd);
      ls.add(cd2);
        dataTable = CsvDataSourceHelper.read(reader, ls, true,
requestLocale);
    } catch (IOException e) {
      log.error("Couldn't read from url: " + url, e);
      throw new DataSourceException(ReasonType.INVALID_REQUEST,
"Couldn't read from url: " + url);
    }
    return dataTable;
