I notice that in all the examples I've seen, the src attribute of fo:external-graphic points at a file. Can it refer to a URL? I wish to generate PDF pages which contain lots of graphs. These graphs are dynamically generated by a servlet which takes a URL containing the data points in its query parameters, plots the graph on the spot, and streams it back. So one of our URLs might look like http://oursite/plotter/?points=1,2;3,4;5,6&caption=Growth&size=small I've just tried this with FOP 0.20.1 and get back a dodgy looking error message: Reference to entity "points" must end with the ';' delimiter. This suggests quite strongly that it doesn't know how to parse URLs. (The URL is a bit longer than the example above, and contains some escaped characters, but it is valid and understood by both Netscape and IE.) Of course, to be able to convert such dynamic URLs, FOP would need to make an HTTP connection with the server and download the image, but that ought to be possible.
