hi all,
Good Day!!!
i am really new to this thus the experimentation. i wanted to create
tables that are side by side each other like on a page i have 5 tables
aligned side by side with each other... am really not sure how this is
done but as far as reading is concerned i came across block-
containers property i was wondering if you could help me convert
these lines FO to XSL lines
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<fo:block-container border-color="black" border-style="solid" border-
width=".5mm" height="0.5cm" width="8.95
cm" top="3cm" left="0cm" padding=".6mm" position="absolute">
<fo:block text-align="start" line-height="14pt" font-
family="sans-serif" font-size="12pt">
SOLD TO
</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i just found those lines in the example/fo/basic/border.fo file which
clearly works on this url
http://www.chpii.com:8080/fop?fo=/usr/local/fop/examples/fo/basic/b
order.fo
now since we are getting data from a dynamic source the approach
was to create an XML file then use the XSL file to translate the XML
file then further convert it to PDF file
inside the XSL file i tried this but didn't work
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<xsl:template match="block_table">
<fo:block-container border-color="black"
border-style="solid"
border-width=".5mm"
height="0.5cm"
width="8.95cm"
top="3cm"
left="0cm"
padding=".6mm"
position="absolute">
<fo:block text-align="start"
line-height="14pt"
font-family="sans-serif"
font-size="12pt">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
</xsl:template>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
inside the XML file i tried
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<block_table>
this is a test
</block_table>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
but the browser gave me the error
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Failed To Execute Pipeline
org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Failed to execute
pipeline.: java.lang.RuntimeException:
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.fop.layout.BlockArea
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
hope you could help me in this endeavor... all the best!!
pal,
