Hi Catalin,

Yes, I did find that page, but it doesn't give any information on how to use it; just what kind of capabilities it has.

The error I'm currently getting is:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.charts.source.XWikiComments

Which is because I'm trying to use the ObjectDataSourceFactory and I don't know how to use it. I've tried to view the XWiki.XWikiComments type of object, but it's trying to instantiate an object of that type in the plugin.charts.source package. I can tell from the source that I'm not using it as it's supposed to be used, but I can't tell how it is supposed to be used.

There does seem to be at least one bug (ChartingPlugin.getName() returns super.getName(), when it should return "charting") which I can open an issue for and provide a patch, but I am guessing that that is what this bug is about http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-824

Though maybe it would help to explain how I want to use it. I've got tracking data stored as objects on sets of pages (forms / classes /etc.) I want to be able to write a query which returns a set of objects, and then use the charting plugin to create charts based on some of the fields in those objects. This differs from the static tables that are in the example, but I hope this use case is still valid.

Finally, if there's any help that I can provide, I'm certainly available. Thanks ...

shawn.
