http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26848 PNG images using JIMI instead JAI Summary: PNG images using JIMI instead JAI Product: Fop Version: all Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: images AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trying to create an external graphics using a PNG file does not works if you want to use JIMI instead JAI. Location: class::org.apache.fop.image.FopImageFactory method::getGenericImageClassName You catch an Exception when configuring m_genericImageClassName field. If you have configured JIMI in your classpath instead JAI it throws an Error: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/media/jai/PlanarImage at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:141) at org.apache.fop.image.FopImageFactory.getGenericImageClassName (FopImageFactory.java:236) at org.apache.fop.image.FopImageFactory.Make(FopImageFactory.java:163) ... ... In this scenario you cannot use FOP to render a PNG file. To solve this BUG you must catch Throwable instead Exception. A workaround is to set m_genericImageClassName to "org.apache.fop.image.JimiImage" via java.lang.reflect package before you call FOP. Bye. Thanks.
