OK, that helps a bit. Here is how I would like to proceed:

1. Upgrade to 0.20.5rc (you said you were on 0.20.4rc in a previous posting)
& see whether you get the same results. Even if so, at least we can compare
results with current code. This is generally a good rule to follow, as I
doubt that any of the developers want to take the time to debug & fix
something that has already been debugged & fixed. If this does not solve the
problem, continue to step 2.

2. Open the original PDF file in Acrobat, and "Save As" PostScript. Send
this PostScript file to your printer, and see whether they can handle it
properly. If so, then there is probably a problem on their end, with
whatever process their machine uses to convert PDF to PostScript. Otherwise,
continue to step 3.

3. Distill the PostScript created in step 2 using Acrobat Distiller. Between
steps 2 & 3, we have done (I think) the same thing that the PDF to PDF
conversion does, but have broken it down. I therefore expect the Distill to
finish successfully (please let me know if not) & to create a new PDF. Send
this PDF to the printer. Again, I would expect this to succeed (again, let
me know if not). The question now becomes why their PostScript interpreter
chokes on code that Distiller successfully distills. I would pose that
question to your printer for them to take up with the device manufacturer.
There are a bunch of interesting things we could do to troubleshoot the
whole thing, which you can try (diffing the two PDF files, diffing the two
PostScript files), but the likely result (absent other information or
similar stories with other devices & interpreters) is that their PostScript
interpreter has a bug in it (or uses an incompatible version of PostScript)
& it would be difficult to justify the expense of proving this.

In your previous posting you said:
<--- Start --->
The printer has a workaround by first distilling the file in Acrobat and
then resending it to the RIP, but this affects their workflow and we plan to
send a large number of files to them per year so this isn't a viable option.
<--- End --->

This suggests another possible workaround, which is that /you/ could do the
PDF to PDF conversion before sending it to the printer. That would at least
be a short-term fix that wouldn't affect their workflow. Another workaround
to explore is to output PostScript from PDF & see if it works better.

If anybody else recognizes this problem, please feel free to jump in.

svg looks great on screen, horrible in print

I am using fop (0.20.5rc) with an fo:external-graphic reference to an SVG file. The SVG file looks fine by itself, and the resulting PDF looks fine on the screen, but when I print it, the rectangles look like they are drawn with fat crayons. 
Here is a short excerpt from the SVG:

Note the "recommended".  I have been very good.  Everything that is 
logically WORM, but which cannot be declared static final because of 
complex initialization requirements, has been removed into singletons 
(which have their own difficulties with EJBs, I gather) where advantage

hope so.

RE: Antwort: Re: Antwort: Fop and multithreading.

2003-02-11 Thread frederic . kieffer
Like Reto, EJBs have been chosen to be strategic technology in my company.
Having tested Fop in Servlets I designed (generating pdf an opening it in
the client's browser) causes no problem ; 
in this case, the renderer I use is the PDF one.
But when I want to print directly (using the printer configured on the unix
box), I render the output through a class which extends AWTRenderer
which, and as Reto said, is not thread safe, because of the classe it uses.
So I was able to reproduce the issues outside EJBs.
I will try to write a testCase that reproduces the problems too.

Thanks.

Hi Jeremias,

I do agree very much with you about the concerns on EJB usage, though
unfortunately "drop the EJB idea" is not an option.
EJB is the chosen environment in this company (my client). Since XSL:FO has
also been chosen as "strategic" technology, we are bound to find a way for
the two to coexist.  Having a special service for the rendering may be an
option, but in the end this comes down to the same issues than doing it
inside the EJB using seperate ThreadPools, JMS and the like, this is a
long-discussed topic in EJB lists...

It seems obvious that you have not noticed the problems we see, because the
issue is most probably in AWTRenderer and its use of AWT classes
(java.awt.Font, java.awt.FontMetrics, java.awt.graphics).

Your suggestion is a good way forward: I will try write a TestCase that
reproduces the problems outside EJB and we see how we can go on from there.

Is the testcase you used in november available as a starter?

merci,
Reto

Frédéric and Reto,

having read the "24.1.2 Programming restrictions" of the EJB 2.0
specification, I'd recommend you guys don't call FOP from an EJB. The
programming restrictions forbid among other things the following:
- Reading or writing of static variables (FOP still does this too often)
- Use of thread synchronization primitives (FOP does that mostly because
  of the static variables)
- Use of AWT functionality
- Use of java.io package to access files (which obviously happens as
  well)

So the singleton may also be a bad idea. I recommend you don't use FOP
within EJBs. Use a Servlet, a WebService or a custom-built server
service instead.

I've done some serious debugging of multithreading issues last November
by writing a test application that uses FOP in a multi-threaded fashion
(PDF only, no AWT). I haven't had the symptoms you describe so I can
only imagine it has to do with the enviroment (EJBs). Of course, it
could be that my test application was suboptimal, so maybe you two can
come up with a test application that triggers your symptoms outside an
EJB server. That would help track the error down. If you can't reproduce
the bug outside the EJB server I recommend you drop the EJB idea.

You can find the spec mentioned above here:
http://java.sun.com/products/ejb/docs.html#specs

Good luck!

Ok, I've put together a ZIP and put it under the URL below:
http://cvs.apache.org/~jeremias/FOPMTTestbed.zip

I hope you don't mind that it's heavily relying on Avalon (especially
Fortress). I've put all the necessary JARs in the lib directory. I
didn't include fop.jar and batik.jar which you can take from your local
FOP. I've also done a little Ant build.xml to make it easy to have some
fast results. You just have to adjust the FOP location in build.xml to
your local environment so it compiles.

To configure the whole thing look at FOPTestbed.xconf. There you can
specify the number of concurrent threads, which files to transform etc.

And finally, to test multithreading with the AWT Renderer just change
FOProcessorImpl.java accordingly. It currently generates PDF.

If you have questions, fire away. Happy debugging!

Comparison between phenetic characterisation using RAPD and ISSR markers and phenotypic data of cultivated chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) This paper was first presented at a congress in Bilbao

Received 29 November 1999; accepted in revised form 3 March 2000
Key words: Castanea sativa, ISSR markers, Marker comparison, Morphological traits, Phenetic similarities, RAPD markers
Abstract Patterns of phenotypic and phenetic variability in six
Portuguese cultivars of chestnut (Castanea sativa
 Mill.) are evaluated. Morphological characterisation
was based on the quantification of seventeen traits. Variance
analysis showed significant differences among cultivars, and cultivar
× year for all the traits studied, and trees within cultivars
showed also some significant differences for some of the
morphological variables. A significant correlation was obtained
between length of the leaf blade and the percentage of unisexual and
androgynic inflorescence with the effective thermal index,
accumulated rainfall from April to October and from July to October,
or the accumulated temperature below seven during the dormant period.
Principal Component and cluster analysis were performed to group the
cultivars, according to their similarity coefficients. For molecular
characterisation, 125 RAPD and 157 ISSR polymorphic markers were
amplified using 28 and 7 primers respectively. High level of
congruence among the two marker systems (r = 90.5%) was obtained from comparison of phenetic
similarities based on the percentage of shared fragments. ISSR
markers revealed important advantages over RAPDs, due to a high
effective multiplex ratio (12.5 for ISSR compared with 2.2 for
RAPD analysis) and reproducibility. Although morphological and
molecular results are comparable, slight differences are showed in
cluster analysis UPGMA dendrograms. Molecular analysis explained
homonym situations among `Martainha' and
`Longal' cultivars in Portugal.

Introduction
In Europe there are two main areas of particular biological
value for sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa
Mill.) genetic resources, Turkey and Iberian Peninsula, each of
them showing peculiar characteristics (Villani et al. 1999). These two areas, together with Italy, are the
leading European chestnut producers and collectively account for
55.3% of the 24 tons world's annual
production. In Portugal, chestnut has a relevant place at the
socioeconomic level, reaching an annual fruit production of 2
tons
(INE 1997).
The genotype identification is traditionally based on the
observation of morphological characters whose expression is largely
influenced by development, environmental and cultivation factors.
Furthermore it is necessary to find morphological descriptors that
are able to distinguish among different cultivars, and make

Re: NPE in AbstractRenderer and bug with fo:inlines (was: SVG)

2003-02-11 Thread Jeremias Maerki
Ok, the stacktrace is still missing, but I've still been able to
reproduce the problem. But it's not related to SVG as you suspected. FOP
wants to write a warning message and encounters a null pointer. I've
just committed a change to CVS that fixes the NullPointerException, but
not the bug (see below). If you download the CVS version of FOP you
should be able to generate a PDF from your FO file. The problem is that
on my machine FOP swallowed a character ("(").

Does anybody have an idea about the following message generated in
AbstractRenderer.java? I've found a reference to this problem in the
mailing list archives: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=10190325361&r=1&w=2

[ERROR] Areas pending, text probably lost. Check Page  and following 
page.

Sounds like you tripped over an old bug. I suggest you try working
around it for the moment by chaning the fo:inline near "In Europe there...".
I was able to get rid of the error by removing the "(" before the fo:inline.

Anybody out there who wants to fix that one?

Cyrillic Characters not showing on PDF with Cyrillic Font

2003-02-11 Thread Daniel, Gillian
Hi there,
I am sorry to bother you all again about my Cyrillic Font problem, but I have 
gotten further now and think that perhaps someone might have a better idea of 
what I can do now.

I have checked the various stages, from creating an XML file with castor with 
all the information from the database to be included in the PDF, to 
transforming this XML file and my XSL file to the input required to create the 
PDF with javax.xml.transform.Transformer.  In the files, you can see the 
Russian Characters which are supposedly viewable on my PDF.

I have downloaded various TTF fonts, which are meant to be able to handle 
Cyrillic characters.  I followed the instructions on how to create an 
metrics.xml file for each one and have declared them in my userconfig.xml file. 
 The only problem is, I still get  instead of the words, or nothing at all.

I have no idea what to do now, and was hoping perhaps someone could point me to 
a font that will work, or tell me exactly what I am doing wrong.
I can provide any other information you might require.  I am a novice at this, 
as this is my first job since graduating from university, so any help would be 
so very gratefully appreciated.

Your hopefully
Gillian Daniel

2003-02-11 Thread Louis . Masters

I just went through implementing a doc in Chinese and the first place I
always looked for font issues was the system.out.  Most of the time when I
was getting "#"  instead of the characters I wanted, there was an error
pointing me in the right direction in my system.out log.

Anybody out there who wants to fix that one?
The problem is: how? A table can have a bunch of pending areas
in each of the last lines in each cell. What's missing is a link
between the block areas generated by a fo:block across a page
break, but I'm sure this would really screw page gc.
Wait: the block FO could transfer the pending areas from one line
to the next. I'll look into this this week.

Most likely there is still some error somewhere, check out FOP debug messages. 
Are you sure FOP uses your userconfig.xml for starters?

here are a short xml file and a small xsl file to generate a list. There
are spaces into the label but it dosn't work fine.
It's a bug, label-end() is broken (prematurely evaluated while
the enclosing block was still not laid out and had not been
assigned a width).
This is fixed now.
