The default URIReader doesn't know how to handle the ServletContext paths. I had a similar issue where embedded font URL's and external graphics were not being found under the webapp.
Jeremias Mearki added another URIResolver called ServletContextURIResolver to the trunk http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs?rev=379810&view=rev Which lets you specify URI's like "servlet-context:/path/from/servlet/context/myImage.gif" you just need to add it to the FOUserAgent while configuring your FOP, Like: ServletContext context= .....; InputSource fopconfigInputSource = new InputSource(..blah blah ..); //Set up stuff from fop config file if it exists if(this.fopconfigInputSource!=null) { DefaultConfigurationBuilder cfgBuilder = new DefaultConfigurationBuilder(); Configuration cfg = cfgBuilder.build(this.fopconfigInputSource); //If ServletContext is not null then setup ServletContextURIReader(context); if(context!=null) { URIResolver uriResolver = new ServletContextURIResolver(context); userAgent.setURIResolver(uriResolver); } this.userAgent.setUserConfig(cfg); Fop fop = new Fop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF,this.userAgent); //...etc....etc } This works as is for images, but the URIResolver passed in isn't used throughout FOP yet, and so embedded font URL's read from the fop config fail. I wrote a work around (see this thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-user&m=114099192412561&w=2 and http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-user&m=114099649120178&w=2 ) that does use the URIResolver and so you can specify font URL's in fopconfig.xml like: <renderers> <renderer mime="application/pdf"> <filterList> <value>flate</value> </filterList> <fonts> <font metrics-url="servlet-context:///WEB-INF/Arial.xml" kerning="no"> <font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/> <font-triplet name="ArialMT" style="normal" weight="normal"/> </font> <font metrics-url="servlet-context:///WEB-INF/ArialBd.xml" kerning="no"> <font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="bold"/> <font-triplet name="ArialMT" style="normal" weight="bold"/> </font> </fonts> </renderer> </renderers> Which allows you to package all external images and font metrics with your webapp. The work around isn't in trunk yet (perhaps because I've not submitted it as a patch yet), but hopefully soon Cheers Karl -----Original Message----- From: John Wiberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 16 March 2006 11:13 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Setting fop 0.91 to know relative path. I have a java class that runs fop. It looks like it handles relative paths just fine when run directly from the OS command prompt but when I call the class from a web application running under tomcat, it looks like it is using the path from where I started tomcat. Any ideas?
