I have to agree with John that browser and platform support is the most important factor. Furthermore, I think the ajax library in library in Geronimo should continue to be shared across its webapps. On both of these accounts I would lean heavily towards upgrading the monitoring client

I had an off-line discussion with Erik about IE support of the various charting solutions. I *thought* Erik was saying that Dojo 0.4.3 charting works with IE, but just not always as expected. Actually, it turns out that Dojo 0.4.3 charting does not work with IE at all (similar to timeplot).

I agree with Joe. I think having the x/y axis labels are very important, especially if we wish to allow the admin to customize these graphs. It will be rather confusing without them (unless we can write an extension for Simile to add this feature). Also, I like the curved lines. --Viet

+100 for simile. IMO the curved lines in dojo 0.4.3 are really bogus and basically lie about how much data you have. I'd recommend you not use them if possible. The mouse-over feature is very useful, you can easily read actual numbers off the graph multi-series display is pretty much
