Try setting the fop configuration.Your base dir isn't
set.So the fop doesn't know where to get the images
from.
(programmatic way):
org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put("baseDir",getServletContext().getRealPath("/images/"));
The above code should be based in your java code
(typically a servlet),just befor calling your main
code that does the fop work.
The same can be set up in properties file too.Do a
google on
org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put or
similar and you'll get tons of info.
The XSL would've something like:
<fo:external-graphic src="checked.jpg"/>
or
<fo:block><fo:external-graphic width="9pt"
height="12pt">
<xsl:attribute name="src" ><xsl:value-of
select="imagename"/></xsl:attribute>
where "imagename" is the xml element (assuming you are
passing the data to xsl in the xml format) that
contains the value "checked.jpg"
Alternate option:
<fo:external-graphic
src="http://myserver/myapp/RenderImageServlet?fileName=File12848910.jpg";
width="9pt" height="12pt"></fo:external-graphic>
Dynamically stream images via a servlet and place that
content into fo:external-graphic as indicated above.
