The basic challenge is that I am using the xml library. The servlet that creates the chart is "stateless" all parameters it needs to create a chart are passed to it. I also need to output the same document into html, so I don't want a "pdf only" solution.
So maybe I can create some xml that will represent both an "html" way of getting an image, and an "pdf way" to get an image. State to the servlet is passed via the url parameters. But I need to pass state to the image creator for the pdf document. Here is what I think i will do for xml pdf <image url="http://xxx"; class="ImagImplementor"> <parm name="attribute1" value="1"/> <parm name="attribute2" value="2"/> </image> url would still be provided so that html writer would still work. class would be a java class would be draw the chart into the pdf document. We would do a Class.forName to instantiate it. the parms would have to be passed to the MyChartImplementor to pass state to the chart creating machine. Image would instantiate MyChartImplementor with the state via a list of attributes.. I would have to implementor a new constructor for itext.Image object that would take these parameters, and use the image class to get it's image. Any comments?
