Yes, I mentioned the standard error redirection (or just redirection period) in case you had at least NT. I recall having had problems with just simple redirection with Win98. Another option is to run FOP from a decent text editor, like UltraEdit, where you can run DOS commands and executables, and capture the output. Yet another option is to get a better shell, like 4DOS/4NT. In the final analysis, though, if you've got UNIX handy, use that. :-) Arved Sandstrom

Re: error handling
You're right. The command line wrapper can and probably should delete the target file in case of an error. Could you check if the return code is set on the command line? If not, we should fix that. It is. The problem is that FOP can't delete the output file in case of a problem if it only gets an OutputStream. And for optimization reasons FOP can't wait until the end to write the output to the target stream. But does fop should delete output file? I don't think so, that's responsibility of enclosing application, which has full control of OutputStream and can easily do this being catching FOPException. All very well for embeddding, but the command prompt version still leaves the corrupt file there no file at all would be preferable to a useless one. I hope the UNIX script sets the return code on errors (haven't tested yet). Cheers, Jeremias Märki

Re: How do i create a basic table of contents like this ???
You will find in the rest of this mail: - an extract of an XML file, - an extract of the XSLT file, - an sample servlet. that generates a PDF file with both a table of content and bookmarks (for PDF). DESCRIPTION OF THE SAMPLE - The goal of the sample is to create a PDF file containing book's description (a title and a description). Books are classified using book's type (such as Java, Perl). In the generated PDF: - I force a page break for each book's type, - I want bookmarks both for the book's types and the books To used the sample servlet, you first have to adapt pathname (in the beginning of the method called ProcessRequest) and then call yourserver/servlet/tstBookmark to generate PDF from xml and xsl files. THE XML FILE (tstBookmark.xml) -- Begin ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? page navigation name=XML menu id=1 labelExemples/label url pathinfo/xml/servlet/xmlHome/pathinfo /url descriptionExemples de Servlets permettant de valider l'utilisation des différents outils/description menu id=2 labelSnoop Servlet/label url pathinfo/xml/servlet/SnoopServlet/pathinfo querystringtrace=on/querystring /url descriptionServlet de test de l'environnement d'un servlet (Session, paramètres...)/description /menu menu id=3 labelTstXsltServlet (Xml File)/label url pathinfo/xml/servlet/TstXslManager/pathinfo /url descriptionTest de création d'une page HTML par processing XML / XSLT à partir d'un fichier XML/description /menu menu id=10 labelTstXsltServlet (DOM)/label url pathinfo/xml/servlet/xmlHome/pathinfo /url descriptionTest de création d'une page HTML par processing XML / XSLT à partir d'une arborescence DOM/description /menu menu id=9 labelTest FOP (File fo)/label url pathinfo/xml/servlet/TstFopFileFo/pathinfo /url descriptionCréation d'un fichier PDF à partir d'un fichier XSL-FO./description /menu menu id=11 labelTest FOP (File xml)/label url pathinfo/xml/servlet/TstFopFileXml/pathinfo /url descriptionCréation d'un fichier PDF à partir d'un fichier xml et d'une feuille de style xslt./description /menu menu id=12 labelTstXmlServlet (JDOM)/label url pathinfo/xml/servlet/xmlBookHome/pathinfo /url descriptionTest de création d'un arbre JDOM./description /menu /menu menu id=4 labelAccueil/label url pathinfo/xml/servlet/xmlHome/pathinfo /url menu id=5 labelRecherche/label menu id=6 labelAlphabétique/label /menu menu id=7 labelMulti-critères/label /menu /menu menu id=8 labelRéférence/label /menu /menu /navigation books book id=2 titleJava and XML/title parution month9/month year2001/year /parution isbn0-596-00197-5/isbn images imagejavaxml.gif/image thumbailjavaxml.gif/thumbail /images abstractNew chapters on Advanced SAX, Advanced DOM, SOAP, and data binding, as well as new examples throughout, bring the second edition of Java amp; XML thoroughly up to date.

Java amp; XML shows how to use the APIs, tools, and tricks of XML to build real-world applications, with the end result that both the data and the code are portable. This second edition of Java amp; XML adds chapters on Advanced SAX and Advanced DOM, new chapters on SOAP and data binding, and new examples throughout.

Java developers who need to work with XML, or think that they will in the future--as well as developers involved in the new peer-to-peer movement, messaging, or web services--will find the new Java amp; XML a constant companion. This book covers: - The basics of XML, including DTDs, namespaces, XML Schema, XPath, and XSL - The SAX API, including all handlers, the SAX 2 extensions, filters, and writers - The DOM API, including DOM Level 2, Level 3, and the Traversal, Range, CSS, Events, and HTML modules. - The JDOM API, including the core, a look at XPath support, and JDOM as a JSR - Using web publishing frameworks like Apache Cocoon - Developing applications with XML-RPC - Using SOAP and UDDI for web services - Data Binding, using both DTDs and XML Schema for constraints - Building business-to-business applications with XML - Building information channels with RSS and dynamic content with XSP Includes a quick reference on SAX 2.0, DOM Level 2, and JDOM./description authors author id=2 lastnameMcLaughlin/lastname firstnameBrett/firstname

My second question has to do with which XML object to use. Right now, I just have my XML in a file, but I want to generate it on the fly. The documentation says you can do this with DOM or SAX. Is there any problem doing it with JDOM? If not, does anyone know where I can find an example.

Re: Do we compulsarily need a DTD when we wish to convert a FO file t o PDF.
Max Dcosta wrote: Do we compulsarily need a DTD when we wish to convert a FO file to PDF. Please guide me on this one. Coz what i have been doing is just coding an FO file and i render it to PDF While FOP will run without a DTD linked to the FO document, you'll probably get better error diagnostics from a separate validation step. FOP catches only very common errors, many malformed FO documents produce only NullPointerExceptions or omit some output (like if you forget fo:table-body around your fo:table-rows). J.Pietschmann

Re: DOM or SAX?
Argyn Kuketayev wrote: Which parser does FOP use when launched from command-line? SAX or DOM ? Xerces implements both APIs. You should be able to use any Java parser which implements SAX2 and has namespace support. Being able to switch validation off is a bonus. I use FOP with the hacked up AElfred parser distributed with Saxon regularly. You can also feed DOM documents to an embedded FOP. J.Pietschmann
RE: DOM or SAX?
thanks. when I run FOP with dumping option, it says that SAX parser is used. I use FOP with the hacked up AElfred parser distributed with Saxon regularly. what's the fastest parser in your opinion? we are facing performance problems, I've to speed up the current configuration 4 times, or at least 2 times.

Are you sure the parser is the bottleneck? FOP uses a huge amount of ressources for certain layout features. Network file systems and other processes forcing swapping are also candidates. Do a solid profiling before fiddling with minor details like a parser implementation. J.Pietschmann
RE: DOM or SAX?
Are you sure the parser is the bottleneck? no. I'm not sure. But I want to try another parser first, since it seems the easiest thing to do. I didn't find how to configure FOP to run with parsers from Saxon 6.5.2 distribution. Can I get any help on that? Argyn
