Ah... I see that this is probably why Keiron added the null'ing to Driver.reset(). I still think that nulling the output stream is not really appropriate - especially since the output stream is not really an internal structure of Driver (IIRC). I think that Driver does not create the output stream. If this is correct then it probably should not null it. Actually I think that this is a bit gray. Certainly it should not close it. But setting it's reference to it to null... mainly I do not like it because it is inconvenient for me and if we wanted to support concatenation in the renderers this could be in the way. Again... just a thought...

ANY REPLY MADE TO THIS MESSAGE WILL NOT BE COLLECTED AND INSERTED IN THE BUG DATABASE. http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3655 Summary: Driver.reset() does not function properly Product: Fop Version: 0.17 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: general AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] We use FOP to generate pdf reports. A Driver is instantiated to render the pdf, after which the driver is reset. When the same driver is reused to render another pdf, one document is created containing the first and the new pdf. So both reports are appended. So I presume the reset method does not reinitialize the internal datastructures properly. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
