Clay,
that's almost spooky. It almost appears as if the file system cache is malfunctioning on your system since it's not recognizing if a file is replaced. I'm very confident when I'm saying that FOP itself has no means to cache anything if you're starting FOP from the command-line for each file you're processing. The only entity that is then capable of showing this behaviour is a faulty file system cache. But that seems to be unlikely. The only thing now coming to my mind is that you might be holding your logos on a remote file system like NFS or via SMB. If you do, try working on a local harddrive to see if it behaves differently.
Nope. Doing it all locally. Starting FOP from the command line for each file being processed. Even our clients doing 300,000+/month are essentially doing it from the command line (/*.sh script). I could probably improve performance by using some sort of java applet or some such, but they haven't complained yet (if it works, don't fix it!)...
You're using relative URLs. You're not getting the logo from a webserver via HTTP or something, right? But even if you do, I couldn't explain why your system still appears to be caching the logos.
Nope.
I could be wrong about some of this but it sounds real strange. Maybe someone else has a better idea about what's going on.
Maybe. It was frustrating...Perhaps it's a Java issue (currently running 1.4.2_03-b02) and not a FOP or Windows XP issue (btw, I'm not W2k as I erroneously mentioned earlier).
I have an idea... FWIW it's worth, I just tried renaming my xsl-fo template file (xml_med7_default.fo => xml_med7_default_2.fo), and it *still* uses the 'cached' version of logo.jpg. D'oh!
I'd thought perhaps that the image is coming from some other directory, but if I specify a different image in the xsl-fo template, it grabs that from the directory in question (new image file that is *nowhere* else on the system except where 'logo.jpg' lies).
Has anyone tried replacing an image, then running FOP to see if it's 'cached'?
