Re: FOP does not rendering PDF in IE5.5 SP1
Hi Abdou, If that doesn't work, try applying the patch Q299618 to IE5.5 SP1 - worked for me. You can get the patch from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/download/critical/q299618/default.asp Good luck, Micheál - Original Message - From: adel ben [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 10:37 AM Subject: Re: FOP does not rendering PDF in IE5.5 SP1 hi Abdou, try to structure your request so that it contains .pdf at the end even if it is not necessar. salam, adel ___ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
external-graphic - problem using relative path
Hi all,
I posted a message regarding this problem a couple
of weeks ago, but received no reply.
I need to reference images ("external-graphic") in
my xsl. It seems to work fine when I use the absolute path, but not when I
use the relative path. Please find attached my original message - it's a
little more detail and contains some sample XSL.
Any help on this would be greatly
appreciated.
TIA,
Micheál

Hi all,
I'm using Xalan to create my .fo files from XML and
XSL, then rendering pdf's using fop (v.0.19). I'm using JDK 1.3.
This is all within a servlet. I'm using Apache and Tomcat together as web
server and servlet engine. My problem is when I try to include
'external-graphics'. I want to be able to get the graphics using a
relative path over the web server. Problem is, when I put the path "http://localhost/VincentSite/img/checkbox.gif",
it works, but "/VincentSite/img/checkbox.gif" doesn't. The strange thing
is, I use a dictionary aswell, and I can find that using either
"/VincentSite/xml/Dictionary.xml", or "http://localhost/VincentSite/xml/Dictionary.xml",
so I know I'm using the correct path. Also, this happens within a larger
application which uses relative paths everywhere in the XSL to get images, and
has no problems.
I've looked elsewhere for a solution to this, and
can't seem to find one, so any help would be much appreciated.
TIA

Re: external-graphic - problem using relative path
Ronald, Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortuately, it hasn't worked. I still get the following error - Invalid Image URL - error on relative URL : java.lang.NullPointerException. I tried both fo:external-graphic src=file:VincentSite/img/chkbxgif-y.gif/ and fo:external-graphic src=file:/VincentSite/img/chkbxgif-y.gif/ with identical results. I wonder if it's something to do with my configuration, although, as I said, I can read the dictionary using a relative path. Any ideas?

Re: bit OT but..streaming PDF to browsers
Hi, I've been on holiday, but I came back yesterday, saw this last message, downloaded SP1 for IE5.5 and, hey presto, it worked. Thanks to all for your help - much appreciated. Just to confirm, IE5.5 still caused problems - only with SP1 did it work for me.

Re: bit OT but..streaming PDF to browsers
I can't seem to get fop to show me a pdf wit IE 5.5. Am I doing something wrong? This is just for general info - it's working fine with 5.0. Micheál Healy - Original Message - From: Dave Frankson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2001 2:43 PM Subject: Re: bit OT but..streaming PDF to browsers Actually it is the sloppy way IE deals with MIME types. At the first hit, IE determines that it can't handle the content type and an external plugin needs to handle the request. So it discards the data after reading the http header and does a second hit passing the entire thing to Acrobat. We are using FOP to generate some reports that take 15 minutes to build, and this is the biggest performance hit.

Re: bit OT but..streaming PDF to browsers
Hi Dave, Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, I've tried all your suggestions, and the thing still isn't working. I was already flushing the output stream, but wasn't closing it - I'm doing that now. I was setting the content type, and the length, but not the content-disposition - again, I've rectified this. I've even changed the url so that it finishes with .pdf, still no joy. I sent a previous message to the list with details of my set-up. This is from that message (Subject: external-graphic): I'm using Xalan to create my .fo files from XML and XSL, then rendering pdf's using fop (v.0.19). I'm using JDK 1.3. This is all within a servlet. I'm using Apache and Tomcat together as web server and servlet engine. This problem isn't stopping me in my tracks. As I said, it works fine with IE 5.0, but I would like to get it solved.
