We use the FOP driver class to accomplish pdf creation. The Configuration
class allows us to set the baseDir property for external images. Below is
another code snippet that shows how we do this.
The String baseDir would contain something like, "C:/images";
If this directory had an image called draft.jpg in it, such as in my first
code snippet, the image would be rendered in the pdf.
myDriver = new Driver();
// Tell the FOP Driver what logger to use.
// This must be done in the order it is here.
Log4JLogger log4j = new Log4JLogger(dora);
MessageHandler.setScreenLogger(log4j);
myDriver.setLogger(log4j);
// What other kinds can be rendered?
// AWT, MIF, PCL, PDF, PRINT, PS, SVG, TXT, XML
myDriver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
Configuration.put("baseDir", baseDir);
InputSource is = new InputSource(fo);
myDriver.setInputSource(is);
myDriver.setOutputStream(pdf);
myDriver.run();

Subject: Re: RE: add watermark to generated PDF using FOP
Derrick,
Thanks for your info. I am quite new to XSL. So, just bear with
me. You use the element <xsl:text> to refer to an external
image. I do not know exactly how it works. Would you please tell
me how to refer to an external image using the following snip
codes given the image watermark_draft.gif which is stored int
the directory "C:/image/" ?
thanks,
Dave
