Are absolute paths an option for you? Passing a base directory to FOP is not implemented in Cocoon'S FOPSerailizer.

Hi all,
I'm a bit of a Cocoon newbie so forgive me if there are any errors in the following...
In an attempt to push the use of DocBook for technical documentation within our group I have been trialling its use and using Cocoon 2.0.4 as the publishing framework. I have deployed this under tomcat-4.1.24 on Solaris 8 with j2sdk1.4.1_01. We are also using docbook-xsl-1.58.1 for the stylesheets.
We are mainly generating this into html and pdf for review and distribution. Now I have replaced Xalan with Saxon the html seems be working a lot better, faster and more reliable. One problem I am having is with graphics in PDF files, if I include an imageobject element in the docbook all works fine for html but with pdf the image fails to be included. The following error occurs in both the error.log and the sitemap.log
ERROR (2003-06-04) 08:51.35:216 [sitemap.serializer.fo2pdf.fop] (/cocoon/mount/users/r_exley/doc/r_exley/rpe006.pdf) Thread-8/ExternalGraphic: Error while creating area : Error with image URL: images/rpe006_1.png (No such file or directory) and no base directory is specified
A fragment from the docbook source used in this is as follows:
<mediaobject> <imageobject> <imagedata fileref="images/rpe006_1.png" format="PNG"/> </imageobject> </mediaobject>
After searching through google etc. this seems to be because the somewhere between Apache FOP and docbook-xsl a baseDir configuration parameter is required when operating in a servlet environment. The following is one of the references I found to this.
http://forrestbot.cocoondev.org/sites/xml-fop/embedding.html#config-internal
How do I approach getting this into my cocoon implementation ? Has anyone had any experience of this ? Is it docbook-xsl, FOP or Cocoon that is deficient in the treatment of images and PDFs via this mechanism ? Am I missing something or doing this incorrectly ?
FYI - I am pretty sure using this approach plus FOP all works from the command line.
I would appreciate any help/advice on this. Equally if I should be addressing this elsewhere then thats fine as well.
thanks in advance
