The project I am working requires a visual stack of the product. An image showing the port connectivity. Data from an external file containing info on which port is connected to which. The program accepts the file and generates an image showing the connectivity in appropriate colors.

It needs to be done using Java and GWT.

I did a part of it using JUNG(Java Universal Network/Graph), but there were many issues. Is there any Java library that will help e achieve this??? Any help/suggestion is appreciated.

  • You can generate images on server side and use this approach: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6491025/how-to-get-image-with-servlet-and-display-it-using-gwt-image-class – Sergey Vedernikov Nov 27 '12 at 08:28
  • Displaying the image is not the issue. But genarating the image showing port connectivity graphically and dynamically is the issue. I am looking for libraries in java to achieve this. – user1855814 Nov 28 '12 at 04:40
  • In GWT you can use Canvas to paint anything on it. And I want to notice about gwt-links library: http://code.google.com/p/gwt-links/ May be it will help you to solve your problem – Sergey Vedernikov Nov 28 '12 at 06:23

If you have not already looked at this.

Something like this in GWT - Mxgraph - https://www.draw.io/ and http://www.jgraph.com/

We use it by wrapping them in GWT JSNI.

Similarly you have low cost - Draw2D - http://draw2d.org/draw2d_touch/jsdoc/#!/example/connection_drop

Along similar lines you have 

    YFiles - http://www.yworks.com/en/products_yfileshtml_about.html

    Raphaël -

    WireIt - http://neyric.github.com/wireit/docs/index.html

Some GWT Attempts -
