external-graphic

[Micheál Healy]

Hi all,   I'm using Xalan to create my .fo files from XML and XSL, then rendering pdf's using fop (v.0.19).  I'm using JDK 1.3.  This is all within a servlet.  I'm using Apache and Tomcat together as web server and servlet engine.  My problem is when I try to include 'external-graphics'.  I want to be able to get the graphics using a relative path over the web server.  Problem is, when I put the path "http://localhost/VincentSite/img/checkbox.gif", it works, but "/VincentSite/img/checkbox.gif" doesn't.  The strange thing is, I use a dictionary aswell, and I can find that using either "/VincentSite/xml/Dictionary.xml", or "http://localhost/VincentSite/xml/Dictionary.xml", so I know I'm using the correct path.  Also, this happens within a larger application which uses relative paths everywhere in the XSL to get images, and has no problems.   I've looked elsewhere for a solution to this, and can't seem to find one, so any help would be much appreciated.   TIA   Micheál     Micheál Healy Engitech Ltd.
