Getting Started
Configuration
Below are listed the steps for you to follow when configuring the Kendo UI StockChart for binding to data, passed as a model attribute in Spring MVC.
Step 1 Make sure you followed all the steps from the introductory article on Telerik UI for JSP.
Step 2 Create a new action method and pass the InternetUsers list as the model.
@RequestMapping(value = {"/", "/index"}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String index(Model model) {
model.addAttribute("viewModel", ChartDataRepository.BoeingStockData());
return "/dataviz/financial/index";
}
Step 3 Add a server-bound chart.
<kendo:stockChart name="stockChart" dateField="date">
<kendo:stockChart-title text="The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA)" />
<kendo:dataSource data="${viewModel}" />
<kendo:stockChart-series>
<kendo:stockChart-seriesItem type="candlestick" openField="open" highField="high" lowField="low" closeField="close" />
</kendo:stockChart-series>
<kendo:stockChart-navigator>
<kendo:stockChart-navigator-series>
<kendo:stockChart-navigator-seriesItem type="line" field="close" />
</kendo:stockChart-navigator-series>
</kendo:stockChart-navigator>
</kendo:stockChart>

<script>
function stock_dataBound() {
// Handle the dataBound event
}
function stock_seriesClick() {
// Handle the series click event
}
</script>
Reference
Existing Instances
You are able to reference an existing StockChart instance via the jQuery.data(). Once a reference is established, you are able to use the StockChart API to control its behavior.
// Put this after your Kendo StockChart tag
<script>
$(function() {
// Notice that the Name() of the chart is used to get its client-side instance
var chart = $("#stockChart").data("kendoChart");
});
</script>
