I have Oracle database with interMedia, which is database support for pictures, sounds, etc ... In BC4J technology, I use simple function WriteXML ( ...) , which can output the data from the database table to XML in format like this:
<Table> <TableRow> <Atr1>Data1</Atr1> <Atr2>Data2</Atr2> ... </TableRow> ... <TableRow> ... </TableRow> </Table> If the table contains column Photo of type ORDIMAGE ( picture ), the XML looks like this: <Table> <TableRow> <Photo> <OrdImageDomain> <mimetype>image/pjpeg</mimetype> <content> FFD8FFE000104A46494600010202000000000000FFE1004245786966000049492A000800000001000B0002001C0000001A000000000000004143442053797374656D73204469676974616C204 ... ...611BCC853F257FF003558190A7E4AFF00E6AB0DFE900E42FE703E900E42FE70C3FFD9 </content> </OrdImageDomain> </Photo> </TableRow> </Table> Can FOP handle data (pictures) in this format or it can only process images via fo:external-graphic ?
