Re: adding apache FOP jars to Geronimo Classpath

I can file a JIRA. Your instructions and pointers have helped me going in the
right direction though. I intend to follow through by filing a JIRA.

thanks

 Yes. I need to update my app to invoke FOP.

 I was referring to Apache FOP ((Formatting Objects Processor). This  
 is a
 print formatter driven  by XSL formatting object (XSL-FO). Sorry  
 about not
 being clear.

 The problem with my WAR archive is that it is already present (as a  
 exploded
 war folder)in a prepackaged Application Server customised for a  
 Workflow
 application and I am not supposed to disturb that.  I tried adding  
 the jars
 to the WEB-INF/lib folder
 
 that should work
 and then added the classpath entries in
 setenv.bat.
 
 dont do that.
 But that did not seem to take care of the problem of adding all
 required classes, I think

 
 The best way to do this is to put the fop jars into the geronimo  
 repository at appropraite locations (if the jars are in a maven repo  
 use the same locations)  Then include dependencies on these jars in  
 your geronimo plan for the web app.
 
 This is pretty basic geronimo information and should be well and  
 clearly documented.  If you cant quickly find more complete  
 instructions on http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/ could you file a  
 jira at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO?
 
 thanks

 Do I have to create a separate GBean or something. Or is it not that
 difficult?

 thanks for your time

 What is FOP? IIUC, you don't want to add the FOP jar(s) to your
 application archive? You can add as a dependency in your geronimo
 deployment plan, but do you need to update your app to invoke FOP?
