The easies way to track down the problem is to replace the FOP Driver by an identity transformation which serializes to the servlet's output stream so that you can download the FO document with a browser (or, better, using a command line client to save it into a file). It the FO looks ok, and produces the expected output if run through the FOP command lien application, check whether your transformation uses disable-output-escaping.

I *was* up to the challenge of trying to attain better algorithms, and refine what we had to make sure everything was being done efficiently. Jeremias disparaged these efforts by calling this relatively unimportant "code guilding"[1] at the time, and you furthered that by declaring that I didn't care whether or not people use FOP[2], just because algorithm comprehension and refinement was my emphasis then. When you see to it that when someone who discusses algorithm refinement on FOP-DEV is to be smeared with not caring about whether or not people use FOP, do you not see the contradiction in then requesting people to share their ideas to refine FOP?

Re: How to pass input of xml tranfs. to xslt transf. ?
Nothing's wrong with the sequence. Now that you've got a complete processing pipeline there and you have problems, you have to split it up at defined points to get at the intermediate results so you can identify the problem. For example: Instead of... SAXResult result = new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler()); ...you can use... StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new File("C:/Temp/temp.xml")); That will write the output from the XSLT transformation to a file which you can inspect. If you want to see what the XML you produce looks like, switch from XSLT transformation to identity transformation (newTransformerHandler()) to skip the XSLT stage. You've probably got a bug in your XSLT. Now it's your turn. On 08.12.2005 16:18:51 Peter.Neu wrote: > OK, the ByteArrayOutputStream solves the NullPointer Exception.

Re: How to pass input of xml tranfs. to xslt transf. ?
I'm not sure why you get an error that "handler is null". The setup looks ok now. The only thing that's missing is the ByteArrayOutputStream that FOP writes the PDF output to. In order to make PDF displaying work you need to know the size of the PDF so there's no way around buffering the PDF into a byte array. See some changes inline below.

Re: How to pass input of xml tranfs. to xslt transf. ?
First of all. Thanks for taking so much time for my problem :o) I tried to include your code. It's attached below: 1. the transformer factory with the implementation I use does not support this call: this.transformerFactory.newTransformerHandler(xsltSrc); - so I modified it a bit. 2. When I run the code I get the error that the handler is null :o/ 3. I'm still not sure how to output the stuff to the browser. cheers, Pete Code: SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) SAXTransformerFactory.newInstance(); // my static xsl file in here Source xsltSrc = new StreamSource((new File(session.getServletContext().getRealPath("/xml/nbw.xsl"; TransformerHandler handler = tf.newTransformerHandler(xsltSrc); //Prepare FOP here Driver driver = new Driver(); driver.setLogger(this.log2); driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF); SAXResult result = new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler()); handler.setResult(result); XmlTransformer xmlt = new XmlTransformer(); xmlt.doXMLTransform(handler); /* this is nothing but * handler.startDocument(); handerl.startElement("BLA"); handerl.endElement("BLA"); hd.endDocument(); */ //Prepare response response.setContentType("application/pdf"); // response.setContentLength(out2.size()); //Send content to Browser //response.getOutputStream().write(out2.toByteArray()); response.getOutputStream().flush(); - > --- Ursprüngliche Nachricht --- > Von: Jeremias Maerki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > An: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org > Betreff: Re: How to pass input of xml tranfs. to xslt transf. ? > Datum: Thu, 08 Dec 2005 14:53:19 +0100 > > It's unclear what this XmlTransformer does exactly.

Re: How to pass input of xml tranfs. to xslt transf. ?
It's unclear what this XmlTransformer does exactly. You only instantiate a new instance but you do nothing with it. Anyway, I'll try to rework your code so you can pipe this stuff together: 1. You don't need the FileOutputStream anymore. 2. No need to configure the serializer if you just pipe the stuff through. 3. Since you do only an identity transform you don't need the first TransformerHandler. Instead set up the XSLT transformation as a TransformerHandler. SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory)SAXTransformerFactory.newInstance(); // my static xsl file in here Source xsltSrc = new StreamSource((new File(("nbw.xsl"; TransformerHandler handler = this.transformerFactory.newTransformerHandler(xsltSrc); //Prepare FOP here SAXResult result = new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler()); handler.setResult(streamResult); XmlTransformer xmlt = new XmlTransformer(handler); //Start the XML generation, however you do this (see question above) xmlt.doSomething(); This should send the SAX events generated by your XmlTransformer (not an ideal name IMO) through the TransformerHandler (for the XSLT transform) and its output further on to FOP.

Re: FOP 0.90 alpha: problem with table borders and page breaks
Hi Dominic This is a known issue with 0.90alpha1. See table_border_padding.xml in [1]. A cell that has no more content but whose row continues on the next page will not produce new cell borders right an the subsequent page right now. Since you've run into this problem I might just as well have a look at it. Shouldn't be too hard to fix. Other than adding additional blocks with only a space in them (one for each additional line) to make the (invisible) content break over to the next page, there's currently no work-around.

Can you please give a little more context (i.e. more code)? I don't understand what exactly you want to do. I thought you had a SAX XML source, not an XML file source.

Re: How to pass input of xml tranfs. to xslt transf. ?
Hello, I have a hard time getting the Obj2Pdf Example to work with my application. I was browsing through the FAQ and found another example http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.20.5/servlets.html#xslt But also here is the problem I don't know how to pass the generated xml file to a File object. The critical line is this one: Source src = new StreamSource(new File("foo.xml")); <- Streaming? How can I stream my xml document in this object?

FOP 0.90 alpha: problem with table borders and page breaks
Hello, I'm using FOP 0.90 alpha. I encountered a problem with table borders and page breaks. In the example below there is one cell with little content and a second one with a lot more of content. On the first page the border of both cells is displayed correctly. After a page break only the second cell has a border and the first one (which is empty after the page break) has no border! Is this an error of the alpha version? Will it be fixed? Or does anybody knows a workaround? Thanks a lot...

Re: Page Sequences
Clifton Craig wrote: J, So the only time tables are realeased are at the end of a page sequence? That would explain my dilemma. Even though I use multiple smaller tables per row instead of one big table all of the smaller tables are held until the page sequence ends? That sux. Non constructive comments are *not* welcome. You must realise that the possibility of back tracking makes the task of knowing when to release objects very tricky. If you think you are up to the challenge of writing algorithms to do layout more efficiently then please share them. Otherwise refrain from making such negative comments.
