As Chris advised, it's best to use a different page-master for this.
Thanx for advise but I'm afraid that it is not a solution to my problem. I want to print (render) a very long table, I don't know how many pages it will take up and I don't know where there will be page breaks. If my understanding is fine I can use only one page-master for this table. Am I right? How then I could print different informations on different pages (for example in static-content, region-before)?
No, you dont need to know where page-breaks will occur in your table, FOP will take care of it for you. You just create a simple-page-master for odd pages and one for even, Hopefully the following example will get you started;
<fo:root>
<fo:page-layout-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="masterodd">
<fo:region-body margin-top="2cm"/>
<fo:region-before region-name="before-odd" extent="2cm"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="mastereven">
<fo:region-body margin-top="2cm"/>
<fo:region-before region-name="before-even" extent="2cm"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="oddEven">
<fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference odd-or-even="odd" master-reference="masterodd"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference odd-or-even="even" master-reference="mastereven"/>
</fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
</fo:page-sequence-master>
</fo:page-layout-set>
this defines a different page-master for odd and even pages, then to put different content on each, define two static-contents in the page-sequence, e.g.
<fo:page-sequence> <fo:static-content flow-name="before-odd"> <fo:block>This is an odd page</fo:block> </fo:static-content> <fo:static-content flow-name="before-even"> <fo:block>This is an even page</fo:block> </fo:static-content>
Then put the contents of the body into fo:flow as usual. Beware; that I have not tested this code on FOP. Specifically I cant recall if FOP allows references to named regions in the flow-name attribute. This works in XEP, and theres nothing on the FOP compliance page to suggest otherwise.
