DateListPlot in webMathematica doesn't show FrameTicks properly

Question

It seems that DateListPlot when used in webMathematica (3.3.1) show different output than in desktop Mathematica (10.1).

In desktop Mathematica, if you evalutate

data = {{{2015, 1}, 10}, {{2015, 2}, 6}, {{2015, 3}, 15}};
DateListPlot[data]

will show this picture:

in webMathematica instead, when you call this code (html removed for clarity) in .jsp file from your browser

<msp:evaluate>
      data = {{{2015, 1}, 10}, {{2015, 2}, 6}, {{2015, 3}, 15}};
      MSPShow[DateListPlot[data]]
</msp:evaluate>

it will show the graph without the vertical and horizontal Ticks:

Then I've tried to add FrameTicks -> True (and Frame-> False otherwise it doesn't show them)

<msp:evaluate>
      data = {{{2015, 1}, 10}, {{2015, 2}, 6}, {{2015, 3}, 15}};
      MSPShow[
         DateListPlot[data
           ,Frame-> False
           ,FrameTicks -> True]]
</msp:evaluate>

the output now shows the ticks but in Scientific Notation. No way to display the ticks in date format:

It appears as a bug for me, because other functions as Plot[] or ListPlot[] produce a regular output. This strange behavior seems to be peculiar to DateListPlot[].

Does anyone has encountered the same problem or found a workaround?

(I've post this question also in the Wolfram Community Forum)

Answer 1

Works fine for me under Linux and Windows. Make sure you specified the right Kernel and FrontEnd in MSPConfiguration.xml. I.e., in Windows add this before </MSPConfiguration> in MSPConfiguration.xml

<KernelExecutable>
        C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\10.1\MathKernel.exe
</KernelExecutable>

<FrontEndExecutable>
        C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\10.1\Mathematica.exe
</FrontEndExecutable>

while under Linux I use:

<KernelExecutable>
      /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/10.1/Executables/MathKernel
</KernelExecutable>

    <FrontEndExecutable>
          /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/10.1/Executables/Mathematica
    </FrontEndExecutable>

     <JLinkNativeLibraryDirectory>
        /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/10.1/SystemFiles/Links/JLink/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux-x86-64
      </JLinkNativeLibraryDirectory>

    <FrontEndLaunchFlags>
    -display :1 -nogui -geometry 1920x1050+10+10
    </FrontEndLaunchFlags>

Also I use this (on Centos ) in /etc/init.d/tomcat:

#!/bin/sh
#chkconfig: 2345 95 20

CATALINA_HOME=/opt/tomcat; export CATALINA_HOME
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/default; export JAVA_HOME
TOMCAT_OWNER=tomcat; export  TOMCAT_OWNER

start() {
  echo -n "Starting Tomcat:  "
  su - $TOMCAT_OWNER -c $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh

}
stop() {
   echo -n "Stopping Tomcat: "
   su - $TOMCAT_OWNER -c $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
}

##

case "$1" in
    start)
      start
       ;;
    stop)
       stop
       ;;
    restart)
       stop
       start
       ;;
    *)
       echo $"Usage: tomcat {start|stop|restart}"
   exit
