在Java中利用JFreeChart可轻松生成各种统计分析图形，包括柱形图／饼图／曲线图／折线图／甘特图等，JFreeChart可从http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/获得jar包，现在最新版本为JFreeChart 1.05。

一、从网站下载相关JAR包，关键包包括jfreechart-1.0.5.jar和jcommon-1.0.9.jar，将这两个JAR加到ECLIPSE项目的构建路径，并放到％TOMCAT_HOME％common\lib目录下，配置WEB项目的web.xml文件，加入以下代码：
<servlet>
  <servlet-name>DisplayChart</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>
   org.jfree.chart.servlet.DisplayChart
  </servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>DisplayChart</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/servlet/DisplayChart</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
配置以上servlet是为了在网页中正常显示图形，若配置不正确，图形将不会显示。

二、图形生成类ChartGenerater.java

  Font font;
  if ("piechart".equals(charttype.trim())) {

    while (it.hasNext()) {

     int count = ((Integer) rows[1]).intValue();
     data.setValue(result, count);
    }
    // 生成chart物件

    plot.setForegroundAlpha(0.6f);
    plot.setToolTipGenerator(new StandardPieToolTipGenerator());
    font = new Font("黑体", Font.CENTER_BASELINE, 20);// 这个地方是设置统计图标题的字体和大小

    // 把image map 写入到 PrintWriter

   } catch (Exception ex) {
    System.out.println("error:" + ex.getMessage());
   }
  }
  if ("barchart".equals(charttype.trim())) {

三、JSP页面调用
<%
      List list=(ArrayList)session.getAttribute("datalist");
      String filename = ChartGenerater.generatePieChart(list,"信息发布结果统计",session, new PrintWriter(out),"","","piechart");
     String graphURL = request.getContextPath() + "/servlet/DisplayChart?filename=" + filename;
%>
<table ALIGN="CENTER">
    <tr>
    <td>  
  <img src="<%= graphURL %>" width=500 height=300 border=0 usemap="#<%= filename %>">  
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
