It would be interesting to know what exactly makes you believe you need to do that. URLs are a pretty flexible concept and you can always put in your own way of retrieving documents/images. Ok ill explain it in detail. I am using webtogo as servlet container (http://www.computingsa.co.za/1998/11/16/News/new07.htm) and therefore the images are stored in a database. U can retrieve a resource from the database via the servlet context. For example this statement gets the image foo.jpg from the database: InputStream imageIn = context.getRessourceAsStream("/images/foo.gif"); so using the file: protocol in the src attribute in the fo:external-graphic element will not work. Ok u can still specify a url where a servlet will return the image from the database as binary stream. But webtogo denies for some reason the access to the servlet url.(I think thats because the user is indetified via cookies). So i must customize the processing of the src attribute.Whats the fastest way to do so ? Rember i just have to call.context.getRessourceAsStream(). > What classes should i take a look at ? > Whats the best entry point for that ? Basically this is everything in org.apache.fop.image, especially FopImageFactory. That's were the various formats are loaded. The analyzer subpackage is responsible for parsing some attributes like height and width from the image, before the whole image is loaded during rendering time.
