Re: SV: external-graphic src syntax
I use Fop 0.20.2 and as long as the path to the imagefile is absolute, it works. Like so: fo:external-graphic src=file:/abs/path/to/images/image.jpg/ Also, there is an entry in Fop's config.xml where you can set the basedir but the comment says 'not implemented'. If, and when this entry gets supported, that should be the place where you specify the basedir, enabling relative file paths. ///Magnus Klosa Uwe wrote: It works only with fop0_19_0.

Re: SV: SV: external-graphic src syntax
Ok, you got me started. I looked into this and found out the following ;-) In the xsl spec., the src attribute for fo:external-graphic is specified to contain a 'uri-specification' For all I know, this is the URI definition as defined in RFC2396. Looking into this and comparing the three attribute values that failed I came up with this: 1) src=logo.jpg This should work since 'logo.jpg' is a correct relative URI according to the BNF 2) src=file:./logo.jpg This should also work since 'file:./logo.jpg' defines a correct absoluteURI. 3) src=file://./logo.jpg This defines an absolute URI, but the file:// should be followed by a 'server' or a 'reg_name' according to the RFC. I believe that the code parsing the file://./logo.jpg treats the . after 'file://' as a server name, hence the URL error. Of the three I got 1 and 2 working using Fop-0.20.2, Xalan-2.3.0 and Xerces-2.0.0 (which is good, since they s h o u l d work). Example 3 failed, complaining about Invalid Image URL - error on relative URL, which I believe is a correct error message. The relative URL really is incorrect. I also used a relative URI as in src=/root/path/to/images/image.jpg, which worked. (Note the missing file:) Hope this 'clears' up some of the fog.

Re: SV: SV: external-graphic src syntax
Thanks Mangus, That's great info. (Maybe we can get it stuck into the FAQ? ) I know have 2 working fine. 1 and 3 I still can't get to work My question about #1 is, how do you know what the relative path is relative too?? I my mind it should be relative to the stylesheet that's calling it but in my experience that doesn't work at all. For example if I have this setup: directory - doc.xsl (which does a dynamic transform with Xalan into an FO document) - logo.jpg The src=logo.jpg tag makes FOP complain about the Invalid URL image. thanks Mike On Wednesday, March 13, 2002, at 08:44 AM, Magnus Sjöberg wrote: Ok, you got me started.

Re: SV: SV: external-graphic src syntax
That's bizarre, I 'assumed' FOP used the current directory as its base dir... I ran the following command with test.xml, test.xsl and image.jpg in the current directory: current_dir java org.apache.fop.apps.Fop -xml test.xml -xsl test.xsl -pdf test.pdf All images in the xml are added to the fo using fo:external-graphic src=image.jpg/ This produces no errors.

Re: SV: SV: external-graphic src syntax
I have the same setup but I'm calling FOP from an embedded application (NOT a web application - no tomcat or other server). Here's the code from my render() method: ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); DOMResult xslFODomResult = transformPDF(/some/pathto/a/stylesheet/pdf.xsl); Driver driver = new Driver(); driver.setRenderer(driver.RENDER_PDF); driver.setOutputStream(out); org.w3c.dom.Document foDoc =(org.w3c.dom.Document) xslFODomResult.getNode(); driver.render(foDoc); return (out.toByteArray()); That's why I'm trying to figure out where FOP is getting the directory path to image.jpg from. It doesn' t work in this situation. Is FOP using some kind of classpath directory???
