MathFlow SDK Servlet (Java)

Prerequisites for Running the Program

There is only one required .jar file to include on the classpath of your servlet container:

• MathFlow.jar (all MathFlow SDK classes)

Creating and Using the Servlet

You can find the servlet in the following location:

<path-to-mathflow-sdk>/java/samples/servlets/MathFlowSDKServlet.java

To illustrate how servlets can use the MathFlow SDK, the sample servlet uses MathML to generate an image. Once you have generated the image, you can save it to a file and display. Specifically, the sample servlet does the following:

• Creates an instance of the EquationComposer component using a license key.
• Sets various options for generating the image.
• Generates the image and writes it out as a file.
• If there are no errors, it displays the image.
• If there are errors, it displays an error message.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• A valid MathFlow SDK license for an Equation Composer must be supplied by using a license key or FlexNet license file with the SetLicense method.
• You can set options for generating the image by calling instance methods on the EquationComposer object.
