simon steiner updated FOP-2495:
-------------------------------
Assignee: Robert Meyer
> Embedding: missing migration documentation from FOP 1.x
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FOP-2495
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2495
> Project: FOP
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Environment: WIndows, Java 8, FOP 1.0
> Reporter: MH
> Assignee: Robert Meyer
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: documentation
>
> Because of bug FOP-2177 we couldn't upgrade form FOP 1.0 to FOP 1.1. FOP 2.0
> has solved this bug (tested with standalone FOP scripts).
> Now we would like to upgrade our Java code from FOP 1.0 to FOP 2.0. The
> Upgrading page (https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.0/upgrading.html) says
> "You should encounter very few issues in upgrading from FOP 1.0, except as
> noted in the following: ...". The truth is completely different: starting by
> replacing fop.jar, our code gets dozens of compiler errors! Many methods are
> simply gone:
> FopFactory.newInstance()
> FoUserAgent.setBaseURL(String);
> FopFactory.getFontManager().setFontBaseURL(String)
> FopFactory.setURIResolver(URIResolver);
> etc.
> The javadocs from 1.1 to 2.0 simple changed - no deprecated methods, no hints
> how to replace old methods.
> The FOP 2.0 embedding page
> (https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.0/embedding.html) just shows simple
> examples to start from the ground. I can't find any migration help how to
> replace old code.
> E.g. how can I set the font base?
> FopFactory.getFontManager().setFontBaseURL(String) is gone and I can't find
> any equivalent code for FOP 2.0!
> This is a major bug in FOP 2.0 as API changes are not documented to upgrade
> from FOP 1.x Java API to FOP 2.0!
> Now I just can search and try and experiment if I get our old code somehow
> running with all those undocumented API changes. Can you please state a
> migration documentation for all methods (method signatures) that don't exist
> anymore? We can't start coding all over again from scratch. Thank you very
> much!
