http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30851 [patch][enhancement] "No meaningful layout in block" --> better location in FOPException Summary: [patch][enhancement] "No meaningful layout in block" --> better location in FOPException Product: Fop Version: 0.20.5 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: general AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] While a new version of FOP is being designed and coded it would be highly benefitial to current FOP users to have * more precise [systemId + line] reported when FOP is unable to generate a layout and endless loop terminator kicks in * have getters for systemId, line, column on FOPException In fact currently when FOPException with message No meaningful layout in block after many attempts. Infinite loop is assumed. Processing halted. is thrown it may produce very little infromation that would help user to locate offending fo element. In our case it contained line/column for our fo:root element! The proposed patch goes down FObj tree following markers and thus locates offending fo element (a too large png imange in our case) pretty well. Also, while we're at it, getters for systemId, line, column on FOPException are also helpful (we currently have to parse parse getMessage() ).
