I also use file-system stored images, or url-stored images rather than
database-stored images
when using xsl-fo and cocoon.
I did have a few images that were stored also in a database, but I would
pre-process
them in a seperate stage, generating a local copy, and populating a
table of the
database with the path. This was a batch process, not an interactive
one, and it used
python rather than cocoon. (Actually, it could do a minor amount of
image-processing as
well, such as cropping, changing contrast, creating thumbnails, changing
to a different format,
Etc and used Image magick as well as python).
I suppose it depends on the amount of storage you have, and how
important it is to you
to store your images on a database.
I no longer do so; I store the 'master-copy' on DVD or CD and a working
copy on the filing
system with a table in the database linking to its path, as well as a
key for the DVD and
the image location on the DVD or CD.
But then I don't much like 'Blobs' on a relational database anyway.

Hello,
No the database initiates to contact with cocoon. I do not want cocoon to
contact the database.
Besides it would not know how to define a database-reader from cocoon.
The image is base64 encoded do i need to put that in another format? Or tell
xsl-fo something about that?

Is not possible to define a database-reader for reading only the image, with
a matcher, what matches to your request?

Hello
I know that also works but the xml is generated from a database. The
image is also stored inside the database and is not available on a
local path on the server. So in this case the external-graphic is of
no use for me.

I assumed it should be done like in the xsl file:
<fo:block>
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="image/gif">
<xsl:value-of select=".//IMAGE"/>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
</fo:block>
But that does not show the image in the pdf.
The pdf is generated though but with no image visible.
How should i do this if it can be done?
Thanks for your help in advance.
