Thanks, but it still does not work. I use File userConfigFile = new File(getServletContext().getRealPath("/WEB-INF/userconfig.xml")); to set the userconfig file, and this works fine. but all efforts to set the baseDir didn't work: I tried: String pathToFile = getServletContext().getRealPath("/WEB-INF"); (I thought this must work, because the one above works fine) or String pathToFile = "file://"+getServletContext().getRealPath("/WEB-INF"); or even String pathToFile = "file://w:/projekte/owservlet/build/WEB-INF/"; with the following org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put("baseDir", pathToFile ); but the fop tells me [ERROR] Failed to read font metrics file /projekte/owservlet/build/WEB-INF/mtcorsiva.xml : null
whats happening to the "file://w:" part of the path ? Peter -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
