RE: Free Visual tool for making fo files
I tried XSLFast, it crashed the WHOLE machine (Windows XP) within about 2 minutes of using it. After the reboot and the 2nd crash I gave up on it. If anyone has had more luck with it I'd be interested in how good it is.

The only free tool I know of is FOA (Formatting Objects Author). There are a couple of commercial products, but none of them are very good. I find them more of a hinderence than a help, but please judge them for yourself: FOA http://foa.sourceforge.net/ Commercial http://www.xslfast.com Chris - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Including images from a servlet
Sorry to be a pain, but I'm not having much luck with this. This is what
I've done so far:
After creating the driver, I've inserted the line
org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put("baseDir",
"C:/stylesheets/fop");
and in the stylesheet changed the line to
However, when I transform it, I get the message:
[ERROR] Error while creating area : Invalid Image URL - error on relative
URL : unknown protocol: c <---(that's actually where the message ends)
I've tried some variations of the baseDir path, but I get the same message
just with a different protocol on the end (e.g. /stylesheets/fop/logo2.jpg)
Has anyone encountered this before?

You can set the base directory for which relative paths will be resolved
against. This can be done using a configuration file, or set in a
program. See:
http://xml.apache.org/fop/faq.html#servlet-baseDir

Including images from a servlet
Hi, I'm using FOP with a servlet. The servlet generates XML which is then translated using XSL or, if the user clicks print, will take the XML and generate a PDF. In the XSL-FO I have an image that appears in the produced PDF and reference it like so: if I do it this way though then the image is searched for in the current directory, usually the Web Server's bin directory, so I usually have to write it like so: is there a way to make it search for the image in the current directory, i.e. the same one as the XSL-FO stylesheet?

RE: Scaling images
Hi, I used which produces a slightly scaled image. I've tried adding width and height and just reducing the pt size to about 96 and 93 respecitvely (the original size is 129x124). This give a more pleasing image but I was wondering if there's a better way of doing it. On another note, you'll notice that I've written "/stylesheets/ING.bmp", I create my fo file from an xsl stylesheet and I can only read the image if I hardcode the complete path to the image, which lives in the same place as the xsl file. Is there a way around this?

Determining table column count
I'm creating a table with a dynamic number of columns and at the top of the table there is a row with a comment on the right hand side. If I specify number-columns-spanned to a value larger than the number of columns then it throws an exception. Basically I have an XML file with all the columns that can appear in the table, but not all of them are listed so I can check what width the column is to determine whether or not I have to create a column. Can I specify a value for number-columns-spanned that will span the all the columns in the table or do I need to do it another way?

Sending directly to printer from servlet
I'm trying to send my rendered PDF directly to the server-side printer. I'm
using a Document class and a stream to the XSLT file. This works and my
printer prints out the PDF. The only problem I have is that the image
included at the top of the page doesn't come out. I also have a page number
at the bottom of the page (region-after to be precise) and that doesn't get
printed either. Using the same code to render the PDF to the client via a
browser prints the image and the page numbers fine. Here's the code I'm
using:
Driver driver = null;
PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PrintRenderer renderer = new PrintRenderer(pj);
/*If any of these values are null then give up immediately*/
if (doc == null) {
System.out.println("Document is null, no point in carrying on...");
return false;
}
if (xslFile == null) {
System.out.println("xslFile is null, no point in carrying on...");
return false;
}
driver = new Driver();
pj.setCopies(1);
driver.setRenderer(renderer);
try {
Transformer transformer =
TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(new StreamSource (xslFile));
transformer.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new
SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler()));
}
/*If an exception occurs during the transformation, catch it and return
null*/
catch (TransformerConfigurationException tce) {
System.out.println("TransformerConfigurationException: " +
tce.getMessage());
return false;
}
catch (TransformerException te) {
System.out.println("TransformerException: " + te.getMessage());
return false;
}
/*Everything went fine, return true*/
return true;
--
The code for rendering to the browser is only slightly different (get the
output stream and use a printWriter etc.) I'm using a landscape layout,
would that make any difference? The printer is an P LaserJet 2100 Series PS.
