I'm having trouble using the ScreenFop view handler.
I'm trying to get the Entity Reference Chart to output to PDF. I created a Freemarker template that
generates the correct output. I set up a view handler:
<view-map name="entityrefReport" type="screenfop"
page="component://webtools/widget/EntityScreens.xml#EntityRefReport" content-type="application/pdf"
encoding="none"/>
When I access that view, the hourglass cursor appears indefinitely. Many debug.log files are
generated - totalling over a GB. After waiting 15 or 20 minutes, I close the browser window, but the
rendering process continues. I have to shut down OFBiz to get it to stop. The debug logs just
contain informational messages - no errors. No errors in the console log either.
I know the template is generating correct FO output because I can switch to
this view handler:
<view-map name="entityrefReport" type="screen"
page="component://webtools/widget/EntityScreens.xml#EntityRefReport"/>
and the template's FO output appears in the screen. If I save the browser's page source to a file, I
can convert it manually using the command-line FOP and it creates a perfect (1000+ page) PDF file.
The entire process takes less than a minute.
So, the individual elements all work fine, but for some reason the screenfop
view handler gets hung up.
Any ideas?
