Re: external-graphic within a war file

[Tomasz Pik]

Can you write, which servlet engine you use?
I think, that url should have the following stucture:

jar:file:c|//TEMP/mercury/lib/war/ecm/webapp_info.war!images/logo_gs.gif

Thanks for the suggestion Tomasz, unfortunately it didn't work.  The URL
printed out as the following(without quotes):
"zip:C:/<path to warfile>/webapp_dealinfo.war#images/logo_gs.gif"

when I put this string in the fo xsl file as the value of the src attribute
I got a similar error:
"[1Error while creating area : Invalid Image URL - error on relative URL :
unknown protocol: nullc]"

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.  Here's what the code looks like
now:
<fo:table-cell>
  <fo:block>
    <fo:external-graphic
src="zip:C:/TEMP/mercury/lib/war/ecm/webapp_info.war#images/logo_gs.gif" />
  </fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>

Thanks.

Hi-
I'm attempting to use a gif image using the fo:external-graphic tag.  Both
the gif file and the xsl file are located in a war file.  The gif is

located

in a directory /images (from the war file's root) and the xsl file is
located in a directory named web-inf.  So far I've tried using the
following:

What is the best way to refer to an image from within a war file?  Is the
war file even the issue?

Try
ServletContext.getResource("/images/logo.gif");
This will return mysterious java.net.URL instance.
Put this URL (toString) into fo file (you have to
process this file before running FOP - maybe Velocity?).
