| The applet is setup here to read both the configuration data and the graph
                          data from a server side processes, in this case a Java Servlets running on our web server.  The SHbarDataServlet ( click
                          here to view code ) is a simple servlet designed to demonstrate how a servlet can be used to return data to either the graphing
                          applet or servlet. As you will see the main routine ( doGet() ) uses the method GraphData() to construct the return data. Although
                          in this example the GraphData() routine simply builds the return data from 'hard coded' values, in practice this routine would
                          be expanded to first gather data from any number of data sources. eg. databases, files other server processes. The SHbarConfigServlet ( click
                          here to view code ) again is just a simple servlet to demonstrate the method. The routine ConfigData() is used to construct
                          the return data from 'hard coded' values. Again, in practice this method would be expanded to derive data from a number of data
                          sources For a full explanation of and range of values for the above parameters please
