Re: xsl:choice

2001-12-07 Thread Matt Savino 

Sorry, I didn't read the bottom. 

You can only include one  as a child of . (There
is no concept of a case switch or elsif in XSLT.)

test="//eraname" returns true if there is an element  anywhere
in the document. To search only the children of the current node, take
out the '//' part. 

To do what you want try this (anyone knows of a more elegant method,
please chime in):

Try xsl:choose.

I'm available for consulting.

[PATCH] bug 4839 : leader gets start-indent at start and end

2001-12-07 Thread Rainer Garus 

There exist an old patch sended on 2001-09-02, which solves bug 4839 (see 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&m=99945422511048&w=2). The patch was not 
entered in CVS.

It is possible to consider the patch for the maintanance release?

You can't do this with today's FOP; people have asked on this list
before, and the only suggestion has been to use a table.

Whether you are supposed to be able to do this using FO I'm not sure.

xsl:choice

2001-12-07 Thread Edward Dowgiallo 



I seem to be not getting the intended use of 
xsl:choice.
 
The following stylesheet segment causes fop to 
terminate with the message: ...; Line 78 Column 25; [ERROR]: null
 
      
  
    
  
  
    
  
  
    
History of the 
World  
    
  

1st, a more verbose error message would be 
useful.
 
2nd, What I am trying to do is find out if the 
current element contains an element named "eraname", if it does I want to use 
the value of the element "eraname"
If it doesn't I want to check if the current 
element contains a child element named "conflictname", if it does I want to use 
the value of the element "conflictname".
If it doesn't I want to slap in some boiler plate 
text.
 
The xml file being processed when this fails does 
contain the child element "eraname".
 
I'd be more than happy to use a workaround 
here.
 
Thank you,

All *-page-master-references point at

Hi,
 
1. page number on the left/right for left/right 
pages:
You have to set up two page-sequences, one for the odd and 
one for the even pages, say 'left_pages' and 'right_pages'. Each sequence 
must have a separate name for the region-after.
 
Tie them together in your page-sequence-master with this: 

  master-name="right_pages" odd-or-even="odd" 
/> master-name="left_pages" odd-or-even="even" 
/>   
In your fo:flow you can then put up two fo:static-content 
sections by referring to the different region-after names.
 
For more details, see 
docs/examples/pagination/franklin_2pageseqs.fo.
 
2. I didn't try it, but theoretically markers should be 
used for this kind of 'running header'.

Bad marker message

2001-12-07 Thread Edward Dowgiallo 



When using marker values with page scope in the 
xsl-region-before region, I get the warning message "Some static content could 
not fit in the area." if there are no markers of the appropriate class-name on 
the page. This is confusing as the problem is the marker values are empty. A 
more appropriate warning would be something like "No marker found on page for 
class-name XXX".

fo:inline error

2001-12-07 Thread Edward Dowgiallo 



This may be an error or I may just not understand 
how this is supposed to work.
 
In the following segment from a stylesheet, the 
starting and ending marker values are concatenated together with no spacing 
between them and the whole thing is left justified. Isn't fo:inline supposed to 
allow me to force part of the text to the other end of the line? I basically 
would like the starting marker value to be left justified and the ending marker 
value to be right justified.
 
    
  
    
    
  
    
  
    

I have run into the same problem when trying to 
right justify the page number in a multi-column table of contents.
 
Thank you,

Any possibility your user community will upgrade their browser for

Here is the real problem.  When the servlet is posted to, the browser has
no
knowledge of what type of data will be sent back.  We have a single servlet
which looks at the request and calls the appropriate class to process the
request.  The request then sends XML back to the servlet.  Then based upon
the presence of the parameter "print" in the http request, our servlet
attempts to locate the XSL:FO file that maps to the request.  If the XSL:FO
file is found, we FOP the XML and send back PDF.  Otherwise we use a
XSL:HTML file and send back a HTML page.  Our clients are responsible for
providing XSL:FO files for the pages they want PDF prints.  The XSL:FO
files
are optional and may or may not exist.

If you can't set up an alias in the webserver as people have suggested you

Hi Kunal,

> do linebreaks get preserved?

They can be, but normally they are not; the default is similar to what
HTML does.  If you want the equivalent of HTML's  element, you
need to set a property on the block containing the data telling FOP
how to treat them.  I forget exactly what I did, but if you look
through the spec for things like linefeed-preserve and
whitespace-treatment I'm sure you'll find it.

There is an example that does this in the FO examples distributed with
FOP: it is called something like glossary.xml.  It is done using
markers.

The impression that I get is that markers are only partially
implemented by FOP.  If you want to do exactly what this example does
you'll be OK, but I've never got anything else using markers to work
satisfactorily.

Jim, I've attached the servlet that we use to handle a simlar issue issue to
what you describe. This serlvet handles both HTML and PDF requests and calls
either method based on a parameter in the user's session (which could just
as easily be in the request). Maybe it will help.

Here is the real problem.  When the servlet is posted to, the browser has
no
knowledge of what type of data will be sent back.  We have a single servlet
which looks at the request and calls the appropriate class to process the
request.  The request then sends XML back to the servlet.  Then based upon
the presence of the parameter "print" in the http request, our servlet
attempts to locate the XSL:FO file that maps to the request.  If the XSL:FO
file is found, we FOP the XML and send back PDF.  Otherwise we use a
XSL:HTML file and send back a HTML page.  Our clients are responsible for
providing XSL:FO files for the pages they want PDF prints.  The XSL:FO
files
are optional and may or may not exist.

If you can't set up an alias in the webserver as people have suggested you
could
always have a servlet class called "pdf" within a package "myservlet".
End result: myservlet.pdf

RE: page-number-citation and formatting

2001-12-07 Thread Vladimir Sneblic 

Hi Phillip,

I'm trying to generate a contents page myself, but since I'm quite new to
FOP I have no idea as to how to make a reference to page numbers of pages in
the document. It seams like you've solved this problem and I was wondering
if you would be willing to share this information, or point me in the
direction of a web page (or some other resource) that discusses this kind of
thing.

Here's what I'm trying to do in a bit more detail. I'm creating a PDF
document from a FOP template which is dynamically modified with the data
from the database. The reason why I can't just create a static content page
is because of the dynamic content (which needs a variable number of pages).
What's the best way to handle this kind of a problem?

Thanks in advance,

Vladimir

I'm having a small problem when using  and

What appears to be happening is that if a forward reference is made to a

doesn't allocate any area for it.  If the page number is known, then the
space it allocates is known and correct alignment can occur.

I've had a look at org.apache.fop.fo.flow.PageNumberCitation and this seems
to bear up to the analysis.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, do you have a

That's the trick if you have to use .pdf ended url, use the query string

This is a particular IE5.0 pb, and some times it does not appear, the

Re: Dictionary style pages

2001-12-07 Thread Corinna Hischke 



Hi,
 
1. page number on the left/right for left/right 
pages:
You have to set up two page-sequences, one for the odd and one 
for the even pages, say 'left_pages' and 'right_pages'. Each sequence must have 
a separate name for the region-after.
 
Tie them together in your page-sequence-master with this: 

  master-name="right_pages" odd-or-even="odd" 
/> master-name="left_pages" odd-or-even="even" 
/>   
In your fo:flow you can then put up two fo:static-content 
sections by referring to the different region-after names.
 
For more details, see 
docs/examples/pagination/franklin_2pageseqs.fo.
 
2. I didn't try it, but theoretically markers should be used 
for this kind of 'running header'.
 
HTH, Corinna

RE: Problems with seeing pdf-files in IE 5.0

2001-12-07 Thread Smith, Paul 

You should be able to create a directory to servlet mapping in your web
server (usually in the web.xml file). 

Something like:

  
MyServlet
/MyServletDir
  

  
MyServlet
MyPdfGeneratingServlet
  

Then the browser can call www.myserver.com/MyServletDir/filename.pdf

Your servlet can retrieve the filename requested from the HttpServletRequest
(or just ignore it) and output it's response to the HttpServletResponse

  Hi Ed,
   
  we ran into a similar problem 
  a couple of weeks ago. The most suitable solution that was offered then by our

  it dives out of the waters of transformation at the other end of its page 
  master sequence.
  In our case, it wasn't mass 
  data but an editorial document with lots of graphics, in reference to which I 
  was advised to use headers (of a certain level) to start a new page master 
  sequence.
   
  I think, some way or the

I am attempting to do database publishing using

of contents and an index for my document using  in combination with id attributes. A larger 
document is represented by an XML file of approximately 8MB and contains 
thousands of such links. I am finding that the JVM memory pool required to 
process this is about 750MB at this point. My database is not yet complete 
and the documents are likely to grow both in size and number of links a good 
bit before I am done.
 
I have tried running this on a machine with 
512MB of memory and it trashed hopelessly for 12 hours without completing. I 
have 1 machine with 1GB of RAM that I normally reserve as a server that can 
do the processing in 1/2 an hour, but I am worried that I will lose the 
ability to create the document as it continues to grow.
 
Do you have any suggestions that would help 
tame the memory utilization? Will the next release of fop be able 
to process links with a smaller amount of memory?

I'd like to put the page number at the bottom of 
the page on the left hand side for even numbered pages and on the 
right hand side for odd numbered pages. 
I'd like to put the earliest name in the 
collating sequence that appears on the page on the left hand top and latest 
name in the collating sequece on the right hand top. i.e. if the page 
contains entires in alphabetical order from cat to dog, I'd like the word

Re: Spanning columns with tables

Is there a way to span a table across multi-column 
text and have text flow around it? This would seem to be a common

Re: Problems with seeing pdf-files in IE 5.0

It has been reported many times that IE5.0 needs some strong mime type
information 
 : not only you must set the content-type HTTP header to
"application/pdf" but you also have to use an url with
".pdf" at the end...

RE: Automatic generation of cell size

2001-12-07 Thread "Buchtík, Michal" 

Yes, it's maybe useful when you need exactly specify column width.
But for our usage, there is not important, that the column with is 5.2 or
5.4 mm
And, when you must parse metrics and kerning-tables for each table column,
then will be increased processing time.

If you have set the hyphenate property and other relevant attributes

This may be more tricky than it seems at a first glance.
One possibility is to put the text into a footnote and refer to it from
an otherwise empty block at the end of the text. Specify a character
which does not render a visibly glyph as the footnote character, like
a zero width space. You might have to customize the footnote separator
as well.

(without the line breaks imposed by the mail client) and FOP inserted
a line feed after the first dash, without inserting an additional
hyphen. It had apparently problems with finding another hyphenation
point after this, this may be due to the nonsense-word which probably
does not match any of the patterns in the database.

If you have set the hyphenate property and other relevant attributes

Producing anything with FOP using an XSL file is actually a two-stage
process. In the first step FOP invokes an XSLT processor which applies
the transformation rules written in the xsl:stylesheet. The result
is then piped to the FO renderer which produces the output.
The xsl:output statement controls the output of the first stage only.
If it is possible to control the encoding produced by the FOP text
renderer at all, it would have to be done using the fop.Options class
or in the userconfig.xml file. I'm afraid you have to study the FOP
documentation carefully, perhaps even the source code of the text
renderer.

You can produce text files directly with XSLT, without an intermediate
FO stage, using the output method "text". If your output is not overly
complicated, and you don't need the FO formatting for other purposes
(like rendering to PDF or PostScript) it may be easier to skip the
FO generation.

PDF Reports

    I've seen the messages from 
november about it, and I tryied to make something like it, but  I'va got 
two problems...
 
    This is my adaptation to the 
solution from Yuri Shkuro
 
  // ---  // 1. 
Get a Source for XML 
document  // ---  XSLTInputHandler 
inputHandler = new XSLTInputHandler(fileXML, fileXSL);
  XMLReader parser = parser = inputHandler.getParser();
 
  // ---  // 3. Create FOP driver and set 
rendering mode and output stream  // 
---  objPfResponse.setContentType("application/pdf");  Driver 
driver = new Driver(inputHandler.getInputSource(), 
objPfResponse.getOutputStream());
  driver.setRenderer(driver.RENDER_PDF);  driver.setXMLReader(parser);  driver.render(parser, 
inputHandler.getInputSource());  driver.run();
 
    My first problem is: I can't see 
the pdf report, but if I try to save it, the file is correct and I can see 
it. Anyway, the name is set is a *.html, not a *.pdf (though it is saving as an 
Adobe Application File...).
 
    And the second one is that I see 
an FOPException like this:
 
using SAX parser 
org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser    building formatting 
object tree    setting up fonts    
 [1]    Parsing of document complete, stopping 
renderer    Initial heap size: 97331Kb    
Current heap size: 97265Kb    Total memory used: 
-66Kb      Memory use is indicative; no GC was 
performed      These figures should not be used 
comparatively    Total time used: 359ms    
Pages rendererd: 1    Avg render time: 
359ms/page    org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: InputSource 
is not set.     at 
org.apache.fop.apps.Driver.run(Driver.java:496)
 
But everything is ok, because the file is 
well-formed adn I can see it (after saving it, of course).

Hi,

I finally managed to update FOP to REC syntax..

According to the documented changes at:

http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/sliceF.html#changes
http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/PR-xsl-20010828/sliceF.html#changes

the biggest thing was the renaming of the "master-name" property to
"master-reference" on fo:page-sequence, fo:single-page-master-reference,
fo:repeatable-page-master-reference and
fo:conditional-page-master-reference.

I've also updated all files in docs/examples, run the tests - and it looks
good :-)

Next I will have a look a the test directory

Specific footer on the last page

2001-12-07 Thread Thierry Gounelle 

Hi everybody,
Here is my problem:
I have a document that may have 1 to N pages. I would like to print
something on the footer of the last page (or at least on the bottom).
But, if there is only one page, the last page is also the first.
I tried something like:


 
 
   
 

 
 
   
 

 
   
 
 
 
   
 



It doesnt work: I made several tests but it looks like I have the footer
on every page instead of the last one only.
For the last page footer, I'm using a static-content with the flow-name
set to the region-name defined in the layout.
Actually the footer is printed on every page, as if only
page-position="last" is invoqued.
Do I miss something in the use of fo:conditional-page-master-reference?

Thanx a billion,
Thierry

 driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_TXT);
 driver.setOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("result.txt"));
 InputHandler inputHandler = new XSLTInputHandler(xmlFile, xslFile);
 driver.render(inputHandler.getParser(), inputHandler.getInputSource());

but it does'n run properly. The result document is unreadable. I use Xerces
1.4.4, Xalan 2.2 and Fop 0.20.1.

 I don't know what I do wrong. Can you give me advice how could I solve this?

Thank you for helping,

Kristian

RE: Memory utilization

2001-12-07 Thread Matthias Fischer 



Hi Ed,
 
we ran into a similar problem a 
couple of weeks ago. The most suitable solution that was offered then by our 
colleagues in the list was to portion the transformation process. FOP seems to hold its breath until 
it dives out of the waters of transformation at the other end of its page 
master sequence.
In our case, it wasn't mass 
data but an editorial document with lots of graphics, in reference to which I 
was advised to use headers (of a certain level) to start a new page master 
sequence.
 
I think, some way or the other 
you could find a similar solution.

  utilization
  I am attempting to do database publishing using 
  fop to format the output. I have created a style sheet that creates a table of 
  contents and an index for my document using  in combination with id attributes. A larger 
  document is represented by an XML file of approximately 8MB and contains 
  thousands of such links. I am finding that the JVM memory pool required to 
  process this is about 750MB at this point. My database is not yet complete and 
  the documents are likely to grow both in size and number of links a good bit 
  before I am done.
   
  I have tried running this on a machine with 512MB 
  of memory and it trashed hopelessly for 12 hours without completing. I have 1 
  machine with 1GB of RAM that I normally reserve as a server that can do the 
  processing in 1/2 an hour, but I am worried that I will lose the ability to 
  create the document as it continues to grow.
   
  Do you have any suggestions that would help tame 
  the memory utilization? Will the next release of fop be able to process 
  links with a smaller amount of memory?
   
  Thank you,
  Ed
