Hi Jeremias,
It doesnt do the trick for me since I have no idea where any of our customers might have decided to install their application server. Also I am using EAR file which means that servletContext.getRealPath( string ) wouldnt do it either. I am currently looking into using the javax.servlet.context.tempdir directory, and put the file there in init() for later use. That solution would probably work, but I�m not sure if I can look at myself in the mirror after such a hack...

Are your images located on the same server as FOP? If yes, you could access the files directly by filesystem if you set baseDir to something like: Configuration.put("baseDir", "C:\tomcat\webapps\webapp");
Surely not a clean solution but faster than going via http/https and it could work for the moment.

Hi Jeremias,
Thank you for answering,
I am already using urls, i.e http://host.domain.com/webapp/images/foo.gif works, but https://host.domain.com/webapp/images/foo.gif does not.

Nice to hear, it would be usefull on occasion.

Configuration.put("baseDir", "https://myserver/somedir";);
But please be aware that this currently only works in the CVS version of FOP (branch 'fop-0_20_2-maintain'). The current release only support local directories, no URLs. This will be in the upcoming 0.20.5 release.

Hi,
I have the following external graphic declaration in a XML file:
<fo:external-graphic src="url('{$base-url}/images/logo.jpg')" height="30pt" width="170pt"/>
I render it to a servlet outputstream using:
Driver driver;
driver = new Driver( new InputSource( reader ), out ); driver.setRenderer( Driver.RENDER_PDF );
driver.run();
This works just fine when having the server configured for HTTP but when using HTTPS, it fails with error:
Error while creating area : Error with image URL: unknown certificate and no base directory is specified
I think this is because I am using a own generated certificate and not a real certificate from f ex Verisign. I know that I can either create my own SecurityManager (effectively disabling security), or use a real certificate. I would however like to circumvent all such hazzles and retrieve the image in some other means instead, intially I tried to use a custom EntityResolver, but I doesnt seem like it is used for image url resolution:
i.e.
driver = new Driver( new InputSource( reader ), out ); driver.setRenderer( Driver.RENDER_PDF );
XMLReader xmlReader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(); xmlReader.setEntityResolver( new CustomEntityResolver() ); driver.setXMLReader( xmlReader );
driver.run();
Does anyone have any tips how to get the EntityResolver approach to work, or know any other way to achieve something similar.
