Petar,
Here's some example code to do this. You guessed right about the Avalon
Configuration object. As implementation of that interface you can actually
use Avalon's own DefaultConfiguration which is in avalon-framework.jar.
For further information about working with Configuration objects please
look at the Javadocs for Avalon Framework (package
org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration). Below you find the code to
build Configuration objects from a file.
AbstractFOPTranscoder transcoder = new org.apache.fop.svg.PDFTranscoder();
ContainerUtil.enableLogging(transcoder, new
ConsoleLogger(ConsoleLogger.LEVEL_DEBUG));
DefaultConfigurationBuilder cfgBuilder = new DefaultConfigurationBuilder();
Configuration cfg = cfgBuilder.buildFromFile(new File("pdf-renderer-cfg.xml"));
ContainerUtil.configure(transcoder, cfg);
//Optional:
transcoder.addTranscodingHint(PDFTranscoder.KEY_STROKE_TEXT, Boolean.TRUE);
[......]
The XML with the configuration should have the following layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cfg>
<filterList> <!--filterList is optional, I think-->
<value>flate</value>
<value>ascii-85</value>
</filterList>
<font metrics-url="file:ARIAL.TTF.xml" kerning="no"
embed-url="file:ARIAL.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
<font metrics-url="file:ARIALBD.TTF.xml" kerning="no"
embed-url="file:ARIALBD.ttf">
<font-triplet name="Arial" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
</font>
<font metrics-url="file:BauerBodoni-Roman.xml" kerning="no"
embed-url="file:BauerBodoni-Roman.pfb">
<font-triplet name="BauerBodoni" style="normal" weight="normal"/>
</font>
</cfg>
Note that you can also embed the above "cfg" element within a bigger XML
file. You can access child Configuration objects from their parent
Configuration objects by calling getChild(String name), for example. See
Avalon Javadocs.
Note also, that the above code applies to the main CVS branch
(HEAD/trunk/redesign) only.
No guaratee, that the above will work right now. It used to, three months
ago. I'll try to update the example in the next few days.
I hope this helps.
