Question
How to set different tooltips (different hitmaps) on JViews related objects in the same JSF page?
Cause
In a single JSP page, when there are two JViews objects, for instance two charts (<jvcf:chartView>), two gantt (<jvgf:ganttView>), or two diagrams (<jvdf:diagrammerView>), each with its own tooltip (using the hitmap technology), if both uses the same servlet, only one of two hitmap classes will be used to generate the tooltip.
Answer
In order to have both hitmap classes to generate tooltips, you need to set different servlet with different bitmap explicitly to each JViews JSF object.
So for instance in the case of charts objects, you set in your web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>MyTooltipController1</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>ilog.views.chart.faces.servlet.IlvFacesChartServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>hitmap</param-name>
<param-value>MyDefaultToolTipClass1</param-value>
</init-param>
...
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>MyTooltipController2</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>ilog.views.chart.faces.servlet.IlvFacesChartServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>hitmap</param-name>
<param-value>MyDefaultToolTipClass2</param-value>
</init-param>
...
</servlet>

And in your jsp file:
<jvcf:chartView id="chart1"
chart=...
