CFCHART not working - Windows + MX 6.1

[cf_dev2]

I cannot get cfchart to work under MX 6.1. The simplest example throws an exception.

The chart could not be generated due to an error in the graphing engine.
-java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
at com.gp.webcharts3D.model.ExAxisStyle.<init>(ExAxisStyle.java)
at com.gp.webcharts3D.model.ExChartStyle.<init>(ExChartStyle.java)

For kicks I tried http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19605

Added to jvm arguments:
-Xbootclasspath/a:C:\\CFusionMX\\lib\\webchartsJava2D.jar -Djava.awt.graphicsenv=com.gp.java2d.ExHeadlessGraphicsEnvironment

It still throws an exception:

The chart could not be generated due to an error in the graphing engine.

Anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

Have you got this fixed? I am having the same problem.

CJ,

I'm glad you asked. I hadn't been able to fix the problem until now. Your post prompted me to take another look. I finally got it working.

My problem was caused by some kind of conflict with one of the entries in the CF Admin -> java and jvm -> classpath. Once I removed that entry cfchart started working.

I figured it out by clearing the classpath and restarting CF. After the restart cfchart worked, so the problem was definitely the classpath. I then added back the entries one at a time until I found the one causing the exception.

HTH,

thanks for the response. I am running CF 7 and I there is no java and jvm section that I could see. I looked all over for class paths but I did not see anything in there for it. Thanks for the response.

CJ,

Log into the CF Administrator. On the left menu select: Server Settings -> Java and JVM. The section you want is called "ColdFusion Class Path"

[CJ]

If I go under server Settings I see Settings, Caching, Client Variables, Memeory Variables, Mappings, Mail, Charting, Font Management, and Settings Summary. Nothing for Java and JVM or ColdFusion Class Path.

It looks like that option isn't visible for certain installation types

Thanks for the information.

You're welcome. Post back if you're able to fix the problem. I'm curious if the cause was the classpath or something different. Good Luck.
