| The servlet is setup here to read the configuration data from a text file
                          and the graph data from a server side process, SHbarDataServlet.  and here is the HTML code, <img src="http://localhost:8080/servlet/SHbarchartServlet?config=http://www.jpowered.com/bar_graph/shbarchart/Examples/barprops.txt& data=http://localhost:8080/servlet/SHbarDataServlet"

 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.  There are various methods by which the graphing servlet can be set to acquire
                          data from databases including:- Direct Database BindingDatabase Script Interface
