Karen,

Thanks for looking into this. I did try to set the table
width, at "100%" and (after accounting for margins, etc.)
"9.85in" to no avail. My concern was not so much the
warning message as the output PDF.

I did try proportional-column-length(int), but I must have
misunderstood it. I specified the int parameter as the
column number for each column, using the $pos. When
I changed it to use 1 for each column, it worked. And
it's simpler than the solution I had devised (below).
The combination of both suggestions even ended the
log WARN messages.

I still had to put "presentation" information in the
data file at the servlet, but what  I had done to get the
columns to fit was:

<xsl:variable name="sum-width">
  <xsl:value-of select="sum(/database/report0/report-line[position()
='1']/child::*/@width)" />
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each select="/database/report0/report-line[position()='1']/child::
*" >
  <xsl:variable name="pos"><xsl:value-of select="position()"
/></xsl:variable>
  <fo:table-column column-width="from-parent('width') * ({@width} div
{$sum-width})" column-number="{$pos}" />
</xsl:for-each>


This worked as I expected, and I fit 10 columns across
a landscape view. It's a lot uglier code than setting
proportional-column-width(1), however.

 Thanks again,

 Joe

Hi Joseph,

I think it will work if you set a width on your table. Try width="100%".

The message is a little obscure: it means the number of millipoints
(1/1000ths of points) which is the sum of your column widths is greater
than the specified inline-progression-dimension which isn't set to
anything.

You might also try setting all of the column-widths to one proportional
unit using column-width="proportional-column-width(1)". That should make
sure that all your columns are included, whatever the width is. You must
still set the width on the table though.

Good luck,
Karen Lease
