SVG or Flash & Batik vs. Linux Tomcat server
Hallo everyone,
I have a question. I want to make a new front end to an internet application
with a J2EE back end. All the database accessing is done in the Java part. I
want to use the new front end only for (interactive) visualisation of my
data (menu's, scalable/zoomable images, clickable links). I might even want
to insert some animations. I do not plan to edit the data in this "pretty
view".
And the question is - what is a better choice in my situation: SVG (either
with or without Batik), Flash, or something else?
And another, smaller question is - I have been playing with generating SVG
with Batik from a Java Servlet. When I installed this small experimental
application on a Windows Tomcat server, all worked well. But when I did the
same on a Linux Tomcat (same version), it did not work (only the SVG part,
the rest worked fine) ... any idea why?
Thanks!
Jan

Good pointer, my intial reaction is that SVG would be best (simply
because it is generally easier to generate from a back end and Flash's
binary format), but I'm probably biased :)

Good catch, I should point out that with JDK 1.4 you can run in
"headless mode" on UNIX. Earlier versions of Batik had some issues
with this but they should all be resolved at this point.

At http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svg-developers you find several threads
about this question.

May be you do not have X-Server running on your Linux-box?
