Re: fop w/ svg HUGE pdf file sizes
To answer my own question:
org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put("strokeSVGText","false");
took the size down to 70-90k.
I'm not used to having such useful information on the fop website :-) Back
in pre 0.20 days we needed to dig through source code to figure out what

Re: embedded FOP from Document to PDF
ok, here's what ya want to do. when you perform a xalan xslt transform, you can specify a SaxResult as the output object. When you instantiate the SaxResult object, you pass a ContentHandler object to the constructor. Ok, so the question is, what does this have to do with you. fop's transformation engine is sax driven. we are given access to the underlying transformation engine, a SAX ContentHandler by calling getContentHandler() on the Driver object. We then pass the return value to the SAXResult constructor. the nice thing about doing it this way, is that as xalan transforms the xsl, it fires SAX events right into fop. therefore, it's essentially generating fop's output (pdf for example) at the same time the xml is transformed in xsl:fo by an xslt stylesheet. the line of code from my app looks like this: ... transformer.transform( new DOMSource( doc ), new SAXResult( driver.getContentHandler() )); ... also, by doing this, you do not need to pass any document or inputsource or even call render(), because it all done once the transform finishes. lemme know if you need an example. -- David B.

Exception message text not bubbling up
My current implementation passes the Driver into the Sax transform. If the
transform creates malformed xsl:fo, which is a possibility, the FOPException
that is raised by FOP, is coming up to the top as an NPE and not the actuall
message text.
For example, line 149 of org.apache.fop.pagination.PageSequence:
throw new FOPException("page-sequence must be child of root, not
"
+ parent.getName());
is eventually thrown by the Transformer as a TransformerException, but when
I getMessage(), it's an NPE. Any idea why this would be?

Re: Multithreading FOP ?
I had an issue with multithreading but it was as a result of my code and not FOP. I have the Driver object as a global in my SOAP class, so it was getting detroyed because I had the class set to Application for its lifetime setting. Once I made Driver a local, created a new instance for each call, and passed it directly to my helper function, everything works fine. -- David B.

Re: Multithreaded failure
I moved the creation (and destruction) of the Driver object inside the
method. Also I had forgotten that in Apache SOAP, you can control object
lifetime. So I changed it from Application to Request, so now each request
gets a fresh instance of my class.
This works, but I'm not happy with it. My question is this, if I have a
Driver object as a global inside my class, will it be trounced by another
instance running in a different thread?

Multithreaded failure
List, I'm having a failure of FOP 0.20.3 while in a multithreaded environment. FOP is being called within the context of a SOAP RPC. As soon as I hit the process w/ a second thread, I start getting a FOPException "org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: root must be root element". I am firing the SAX events directly into the FOPTreeBuilder by way the of the getContentHanlder() and a Xalan XML/XSLT transform. I set the log output to DEBUG, and here is a clip around the time of the failure: DEBUG 10179 [fop ] (): reading user configuration file INFO10179 [fop ] (): building formatting object tree DEBUG 10179 [fop ] (): setting up fonts INFO10179 [fop ] (): [1] DEBUG 10179 [fop ] (): Last page-sequence produced 1 pages.

PDF viewing with IE 5.
Hi All,I recently started to use fop
and came across the problem with IE notdisplaying the PDF. After
looking around and checking other peoplessolutions it seems it was due to
the filename extension required to be .pdfand the content-length header
needed to be set. To get the content length Ineeded to buffer the
output; and used a ChunkByteBuffer class to do this.This is instead of
allocating a byte[] as the current FopServlet does. TheChunkByteBuffer
class I have released as LGPL to be added to the FOP projector the embedded
example so that others don't need to go through the samepain. :) I
hope you find it useful for the project.This ChunkByteBuffer could be
used in conjunction with checking the requestheaders for the type of browser
being used by the client. If the browser isIE then use the buffer,
otherwise stream directly. The buffer also uses astatic vector of free
chunks so that data does not need to be reallocatedfor every buffer
used. The free chunk vector currently only grows, andprobably needs
some timed cleanup mechanism. If you implement this let meknow.
You can find the code here:www.livemedia.com.au/ChunkByteBuffer.javaI
don't have an example of how to use it as my current code uses lots
ofexternal classes. It would go something like this in the
FopServlet.javaexample.ChunkByteBuffer cbb = new
ChunkByteBuffer();OutputStream bout = cbb.getOutputStream();Driver
driver = new Driver( foFile, bout );driver.setRenderer( Driver.RENDER_PDF
);driver.run();bout.close();response.addIntHeader(
"Content-Length", cbb.length() );OutputStream out =
response.getOutputStream();InputStream in2 = cbb.getInputStream();byte
buffer[] = new byte[2048];while( (length = in2.read( buffer, 0, 2048)) >
0 ){ out.write( buffer, 0, length
);}in2.close();out.close();To make sure files had a .pdf
extension I used the mod_rewrite engine ofapache. My current test is
using a static filename as follows:RewriteRule ^/fred.pdf$
/print/servlet/printServlet [P]If you find it useful in what you're
doing or find any bugs let me know.Regards,David.PS I'm
currently looking for some contract work.. anyone?

Re: Re: Rendering from a Document
Here's an update, and a potential bug. The NPE was actually resulting from an improper transformation of the XML. The Element object passed in by Apache SOAP needs to "promoted" to Document object status prior to being passes to the transform in a DOMSource object. This is accomplished with the follow: Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer( new StreamSource( xsl_url ) ); DocumentBuilderFactory dBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); DocumentBuilder docBuilder = dBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder(); Document doc = docBuilder.newDocument(); Node newNode = doc.importNode( element, true ); doc.appendChild( newNode ); transformer.transform( new DOMSource( doc ), new SAXResult( driver.getContentHandler() )); This produces a nice PDF. I notice that by doing this, I do not have to call the run() method, so therefore I'm assuming that this saves a step in the entire rendering process. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but am I to believe that the PDF is being rendered as the SAX events are being fired by the transformer? By this, it seems like this should save me alot of memory usage because I won't have to hold the XSL:FO output in an object. I am very happy with the way this is turning out. I promise an article on it as soon as I'm finished.y -- David B.

Re: Rendering from a Document
Ok, I'm doing this: Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer( new StreamSource( xsl_url ) ); transformer.transform( new DOMSource( source ), new SAXResult( driver.getContentHandler() )); and I'm getting javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.lang.NullPointerException. this is last point of execution in the stack trace: at org.apache.fop.fo.pagination.PageSequence.(PageSequence.java:144) Do you, or anyone know why this would be? Also, once this runs, do I call driver.run()? On Fri, Mar 22, 2002 at 05:59:26PM +0100, Jeremias Maerki wrote: > > I was just looking at the FOP API JavaDocs.

Re: Fw: Re: Rendering from a Document
I was just looking at the FOP API JavaDocs. Can I use getContentHanlder from the Driver object, send that into the transformer wrapped in a SAXResults object? Will this populate FOP with the required data to do the XSL:FO transform? On Fri, Mar 22, 2002 at 11:22:12AM -0500, David B.

Re: Fw: Re: Rendering from a Document
Ok this is what I'm doing: I produce an XML file from data stored on a mainframe. The XML is generate in a VB object. The XML is passed up to an ASP page that makes a Low Level API SOAP call, using MSSOAP Toolkit 2.0, to my PDF server. The PDF server is running Tomcat 4/Apache SOAP 2.2. On the PDF server, I receive the XML as literalxml in the envelope, fetch a stylesheet, pass the Element object to a Xalan 2.3 transformer (wrapped in a DOMSource object), and then transform the XML into XSL:FO objects. Now I have a Document object that was returned from the transformer wrapped in a DOMResults object. The next step is where the problem lies. I want to pass the Document to a Driver, but I get the dreaded NullPointerException. Most of the time, the XML is will be small ( 5 - 7K), but there is a potention for an account to have 5 to 10 thousand transactions in a day, and we store up to 63 days of data (a single transaction in XML is 594 bytes, therefore a 630K transaction XML file would be 374MB, plus some extra data at the top). So you can see what I have the potential to deal with. What I don't even know is how FOP will handle this. The XSL:FO file is sure to be much larger than 380MB. I transformer a 6.66KB XML file and it produced a XSL:FO file of 16.2KB. If we use that as a benchmark, than the same 374MB would become 909.8MB. That's a whole lot of RAM, not to mention what FOP is going to use to store the rendered PDF. I'm hoping that someone can poke a hole in these numbers (please), because this is getting to look a whole lot bigger than expected. Obviously performance and resource utilization are major concernes (like when are they not?). Obviously SAX for this would be faster because it wouldn't require loading the entire XML contents into memory. So, now is here the questions come in. Do I return from the transform a SAXResults? Also, how do I effectively handle the incoming XML into the SOAP method? I would prefer to send the XML in literalxml format so the < and > are HTML encoded (increasing the size of the content even more). Where do I go from here?

Re: svg content not compiling
Not sure if this is related, but do you have any AWT support on your Linux box? On an iSeries or AS/400 system I have to run a version of X-windows and a package that supplies native AWT support.

Re: userconfig.xml
Revelation:
Now I know why System.getProperties("user.dir") == "c:\windows\system32",
because that's where the Tomcat NT service must start from (not to mention
the java.exe that's in that folder also). Hmm, what to do? Ok, so how can
I have a not so relative path?
Conundrum:
How can I gain access to configuration info that resides in the web.xml file
for the SOAP servlet that calls my class, that in turn calls FOP?

Re: FW: [iText-questions] Re: merging two libraries
Absolutely. In fact, I am using iText to do just that, encryption. iText has a PDFReader class that take a byte[] array for the constructor. ... PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(out.toByteArray()); ... goto to http://www.lowagie.com/iText/tutorial/ch01.html#readingPDF and check out the http://www.lowagie.com/iText/examples/Encrypt.java sample.

Re: Acrobat 5.0 Error
Do your documents employ any encryption? Also, why
aren't you opening the new window with the url to the servlet in the first
place?
Also, I'm confused as to the use of the cookie (personnaly,
i'm fond of cookie monster myself). I can see that you are "serving" the
pdf from within the servlet. Try, just for kicks, saving it to disk, and
then sending down that Jscript. If anything, I'd be curious to see what
happens.
I code web for a living, so, any questions, feel
free...

Subject: RE: Acrobat 5.0 Error
David,
Thank you for the
advice. We are handling
the PDFs a little
differently, however, and are running on
Apache.
In the JSP file that displays content in the browser, we have the following
link within a form
named documentmanagementsearchnavigation:
Here
is the batchPrintDocument function in the javascript
file:
function batchPrintDocument( form
) { var option =
"HEIGHT=400,WIDTH=700,scrollbars=1,status=1,menubar=1";
newWindow = window.open("BatchPrint.html", "BatchPrintDocumentWindow",
option); result =
getCookieData(); if (result ==
"") {
result = 0; document.cookie = "app=" +
result; }
else {
result = parseInt(result) + 1;
document.cookie = "app=" + result;
} var source =
"Servlet?actiontotake=batchprintdocument.pdf&cookie="+result;
newWindow.location = source;
newWindow.focus();
return false;
}
We
define the batchprintdocument.pdf action in the Servlet. The batch
function in the servlet actually builds one large document that consists
of many smaller documents. For instance, a user can print one individual
report or click on the batch print icon to print all of the reports. She
is able to print one doc OK, but receives the error when printing batch
printing all documents even when there is only 1 or 2 docs to be batch
printed.
This
feature is working well, except on her computer. We suspect it
is her configuration.
Thanks
again!!
Rachael

How is the PDF being served to the user? Is it
coming from an ASP page and being Response.BinaryWrite'ed? The best
work around that I'm using for this problem is this:
I persist the file on the server, then send this to the
browser:
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><!--</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>
window.location.href='<%=path%>'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>//--></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>
This way, IE will go fetch the file itself. If you
are using IIS, save the docs in their own folder, then go into the IIS
setting, and enable content expiration (it's on the HTTP Headers tab) just
for that folder and set it to expire immediately. If you don't do
this, IE will keep pulling the PDF from it's cache if you re-use
filenames.

Hello!
Thanks in
advance for your time and help.
I know this is
not exactly an FOP issue, but will be very helpful to the folks who
are already in a production environment.
I have a user
running WIN NT and views FOP-generated PDFs in Acrobat 5.0 within Internet
Explorer.
When she opens
the PDF, she receives the error:
File does not
begin with :%PDF...
She receives a
dialog box then clicks OK and gets a blank screen. In our offices,
we are able to view the same documents in Acrobat 5.0 with no
problem.
At this time, I think it is a problem on
the user's PC. I am
hoping someone has seen this type of problem before. I am able to
see that, on my computer, the PDF starts with :%PDF. Why is
her Acrobat interpreting it differently?
Thanks!
Rachael
P.S. I
also had her try the option to NOT view it in the browser. I
had no success with this
either.

Re: userconfig.xml
Yeah. If I try File file = new File("userconfig.xml"), where is it looking
relative to the class file requesting the file?

HowTo Render PDF from XML string and XSL file
I have spent some time looking at the embedding sample, and I have some questions. I have successfully implemented FOP as a WebService having the XSL-FO data posted to the service and the service rendering the file onto the local machine. Now I want to do the XML/XSL to XSL-FO transform in the WebService. I noticed that the transform occurs in the XSLInputHandler. This then allows for an InputSource and XMLReader to be available to the Driver.render() overloaded method. The unfortunate part is the XSLInputHandler constructor only takes File object, no stream. I'd like to avoid bouncing the XML data off the disk just to statisfy this requirement for using XSLInputHandler. So, my question is this, how can I arrive at the same results, an InputSource and an XMLReader interfaced object for Driver.render()? Or better yet, what I'm asking is what is going on inside XSLInputHandler that I can slurp out into my code. Tx :) -- David B.

Re: Problems using

and all I'm getting is a blue underlined word, and not a

Also, I setup FOP as a WebService (Apache SOAP). Let me
know what is the correct forum to post the code. It runs on either Linux
or MS for the server part, and my client is MS.

Re: userconfig.xml
In the context of a servlet, where would I place userconfig.xml file
relative to the webapps dir, and what path would I use to retrieve the file.
According to java.io API JavaDoc file, a relative path is relative to the
user's home dir. Would I actually have to say:
File file = new File("c:\tomcat4\webapps\soap\WEB-INF\userconfig.xml")
or something like:
File file = new File("userconfig.xml")
Any ideas? I need the config file because it has font info in it.

Re: java.util.HashMap to com.sun.java.util.collections.HashMap
There are number of ways to make Java available across COM, but as far as i
can tell, they all use the local VM that's installed on the machine, and it
needs to be running. This way, it's compiled into the DLL, along with _all_
of the other classes that are used (from xalan, etc.). I just d/l'ed the
latest CVS snapshot, and the build breaks on:
[javac] E:\xml-fop\build\src\org\apache\fop\svg\PDFGraphics2D.java:1196:
nested class org.apache.fop.svg.PDFGraphics2D. PDFGraph
icsConfiguration is an abstract class. It can't be instantiated.
[javac] return new PDFGraphicsConfiguration();
[javac]^
[javac] E:\xml-fop\build\src\org\apache\fop\svg\PDFGraphics2D.java:1203:
nested class org.apache.fop.svg.PDFGraphics2D. PDFGraph
icsConfiguration must be declared abstract. It does not define
java.awt.image.VolatileImage createCompatibleVolatileImage(int, int)
from class java.awt.GraphicsConfiguration.
[javac] static class PDFGraphicsConfiguration extends
GraphicsConfiguration {
[javac] ^
[javac] 2 errors, 1 warning
does anyone know why this is? I am using all of the latest version of the
dependent libraries, Xalan, Xerces, etc. I wanted to make sure I could
build the classes before I started the search and destroy mission to find
java.util.HashMap. Help?

Re: Encryption
I quickly looked at iText, and that is not a XSL-FO -> PDF engine. RenderX's XEP Java app does do encryption, but they are not a viable option for us. Where in the FOP process could we hotwire some encryption? Also, the command line app won't work because we want the write the file directly to disk for immediate availability to the browser. The creating of the PDF will be the result of a SOAP call to our PDF server, posting the XSL-FO data. -- David B.

how do you set the no-cache for the output header going out of the servlet,
because I saw this prob just yesterday.

Fixing Inline Italic/Bold
Is it just me, or does inlined italic or bold text create spurious spaces on the line and violate the margins? This is a pretty big problem. I'd like to fix it. I posted a question about this on fop-user but got no response. I am assuming this is a bug in FOP, and would really appreciate any comments anyone one might have about what parts of the code might be relevant to a fix. -David - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: AW: keep-with-next?
Thank you for your response! I was afraid you would say this. :) I was hoping it might be a relatively simple fix; I wonder if there isn't a kluge I can put in the existing approach that would suffice for the heading/following paragraph problem... So FOP is basically being redesigned/rewritten, eh? I wonder how far along this is.

Re: FOP - Thread-safe ?
I think it's intended to be thread safe. However, a couple of bugs (in 0.20.2) break this.

Table border thickness inconsistency
Hi! I'm using Fop 0.20.2 and have experienced the following problem: When rendering a table with cells like this border-bottom-width="0.25pt" border-bottom-style="solid" border-bottom-color="#e0e0e0"> test not all borders come out with the same width. The deviant borders appear in groups. The number of borders in each group seem to vary with the specified bottom-border-width. Is this maybe a rounding problem? I've only tested the PDF and PS renderers and the problem appears in both of them. (BTW, I tried to run my example with a fop compiled from the latest files in the cvs repository and got no output pages at all. Maybe this is due to some CR/R incompatibility?)

FOP performance enhancement
I've been following the progress of FOP since .15 and I'd like to say that I really appreciate all the work everyone puts in. My company produces student administration software for k-12 schools and open-source projects are the ideal way to put great technology in the hands of under-funded school districts. We currently use FOP in a servlet environment for doing pdf reporting (1 to 20 pages). The memory consumption is a bit high, but we have had great sucess and stability with our current usage. Our IDEAL dream is to be able to batch print report cards and parent letters using this technology. This would involve taking the same simple fo document and applying it 500-3000 times, depending on the number of students. We don't use anything fancy like page counting, or references to other parts of the document. As far as I can see, it should be possible to format, render and stream out each page as it's completed. (Although this probably breaks other aspects of the FO spec.) If I am able to produce documents like this in the near future, it will lock in Fop as a core part of our technology architecture. Is there any way to optimize my fo documents to make this possible? I remember seeing some benchmarks reaching thousands of pages by Mark Lillywhite, but unfortunately my documents were unable to take advantage of those enhancements. Is anyone else currently working on something like this? Thanks, Dave Frankson - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FOP documentation / oddities
I downloaded Fop-0.20.1-bin.tar.gz and untarred it. Minor documentation problem: In the docs/html-docs/index.html file, it says that the latest version of FOP is 0.18 The docs/examples/fo/border.fo file makes extensive use of , but docs/html-docs/implemented.html says that block-container is not implemented. Finally, (and this is probably me just not understanding the entire spec), according to section 6.6.7, I should be able to use the width attribute with , but I get no extra space in: Some text spaced within other text. --- J.

Re: Configuring the FOP 0.18 in Cocoon 1.8 or more
sudhakar, I wrote an article for the August issue of Midrange Computing that covers that topic. If you do not have access to the magazine, I can forward a copy of that article to you. The main challenges are with the Cocoon jar file. I found through a process of elimination that on some releases (V4R5 < some group) one package had to be removed from the jar file. The article covers setup with Tomcat, which I would recommend over WebSphere. The installation is pretty strait forward and can be as simple as drag and drop from a working windows setup to a mapped drive on your AS/400 or iSeries. You then have to modify Tomcat's startup script, which isn't too hard to set the appropriate class path.

Compressing Input Document
Group, I am wondering if there is a way to compress the XSL-FO document passed to FOP. We have been experimenting with FOP via Cocoon, Cocoon2, and standalone. One tact was to use JDOM to create a DOM XSL-FO tree passed to FOP. The data passed to FOP seems pretty excessive and will not scale to our needs. We saw about a 35X increase from input to carefully crafted XSL-FO document. There may still be some opportunity for us to trim this down, but table formatting seems to use up a lot of space. Is there a way to compress the XSL-FO object down to a reasonable size? The data itself appears to be very redundant.

Re: OT(?): transcendental functions in XSLT
Mark, Correction and clarification on my previous response: By small angles, I meant small angle DIFFERENCES -- the series expansions work best for small angles. The sine expansion to 3 terms is good within 1% up to pi/2, as is the cosine expansion to 4 terms (the first term is always 1, so it's equivalent to sine to 3 terms). Then you find yourself doing if-then ladders for the four quadrants, i.e. sin(pi/2 < x < pi) = sin(pi - x), sin(pi < x < 2pi) = - sin(x - pi), and so on. I haven't thought about how do to this in fop, so this may or may not help. -dd "David S.

Re: OT(?): transcendental functions in XSLT
Mark, Well, you could do what most implementations of sine and cosine would do, series expansion: sin(x) = x - x^3/3! + x^5/5! - x^7/7! ... cos(x) = 1 - x^2/2! + x^4/4! - x^6/6! ... I haven't tried it, but if you avoid small angles (not a bad idea with pie charts, anyway) the expansion shouldn't have to include more than three terms, I suspect. -dd Mark wrote: > Hi folks, > > sorry for this slightly off topic post but i was hoping someone could > help me. > > I thought i should be able to produce a very simple xml schema for > generating pie charts. the idea was that I could use XSLT to transform > from the pie-chart schema to SVG (and then to import the SVG into FOP). > > It would be preferable to express the size of the pie chart segments as > percentages, but the SVG Path object requires coordinates on the > circumferance of a circle. > > The problem is that there don't seem to be any functions in XSLT or > XPath that let me find the sin() or cosine() of an angle.

Re: FOP Servlets being invoked twice
As far as I know, IE has always done 2 requests per mime type that it
doesn't handle internally. See Article ID: Q293336 in the M$ knowledge
base. Netscape and all others only do 1 request. If anyone knows a
configuration that can get IE to behave, please let me know
I do suggest adding
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline; filename=report.pdf");
it will fix some glitches in IE5.0, and also have you considered using a
Dom Document rather than a string to pass your xml around? It would save
you from having to parse it twice when you go from your business object to
Xalan, and from Xalan to FOP.

Barcode fonts.. was Re: userconfig in AIX.
Thanks.. I can now set my own user config settings.. next problem. barcode font support? I looked back over recent emails regarding barcode fonts. I downloaded and tried a few fonts from: http://www.barcode-1.com/pub/russadam/fonts.html I had the most success with. http://www.barcode-1.com/pub/russadam/shareware/barcod39.zip The PDF was rendered with no warnings or errors. However when I tried viewing it in Adobe Acrobe 3.01, I got an error. "A font contains a bad CMap Encoding" Has anyone succeeded with getting a 3of9 barcode font working? thanks again..

Re: userconfig in AIX.
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the -d option but it didn't give me much
detail on why the error was occuring. I tried commenting out most of the
userconfig.xml and found that it succeeded. Now I need to work out why it
doesn't like my config file. Is there anyway I can get more information
from the config file parser?
Can you see anything wrong with this? Commenting out the tag makes
it read the file successfully.
Thanks,
David.

userconfig in AIX.
Hi..I'm attempting to run FOP 0.19.0 under AIX using WebSphere
Java 1.2.2. Mostthings seems to be working ok. My problem is
that I can't seem to load myown user configuration file. Using the Fop
command line program..java -classpath fop.jar org.apache.fop.apps.Fop -c
"conf/userconfig.xml" -fofonts.fo -pdffonts.pdf---I get the
following message.reading user configuration fileCan't find user
configuration file conf/userconfig.xmlusing default values--I
have tried copying the config file into the current directory. I've
triedproviding the whole path /.../userconfig.xml. I've tried renaming
the file.In the end I tried writing my own code to test if it was related to
fopcommand line code. static void main( String[] args )
{ try { Options options =
null; String pathFonts =
null; InputSource foFile = new InputSource( new
FileInputStream("fonts.fo")); FileOutputStream out =
new FileOutputStream( "fonts.pdf" ); // options = new
Options(new
File("/home/davidr/Fop19/userconfig.xml")); options
= new Options();
options.loadUserconfiguration("userconfig.xml");
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
driver.addElementMapping("org.apache.fop.fo.StandardElementMapping");driver.addPropertyList("org.apache.fop.fo.StandardPropertyListMapping");
driver.setOutputStream(out);
driver.buildFOTree(createParser(), foFile);
driver.format(); driver.render(); } catch
(Exception e) { System.out.println("Error in
Main"); e.printStackTrace(); }
}You will notice, I even tried different methods of setting
options. Everytime I get the same error. I can only assume this
is a bug related to AIX?Anyone seen this problem, or can suggest a solution
or workaround?Thanks..David.
Re: bit OT but..streaming PDF to browsers
Check the Microsoft Knowledge base for Article ID: Q293336 It explains the
idiotic way IE handles MIME types.

Re: bit OT but..streaming PDF to browsers
I get pdfs from servlets to work fine in IE, but I never have overcome the 2 hits per pdf.
