Hi.
I have this strange problem with fop in combination with cocoon.
What I try to do is to make a offline archive of my cocoon pdf files. I use the cocoon command line interface (CLI) to accomplish this. The problem however is that fop fail's to render images. It prints out the error message shown below and omits the image from the output, hence the pdf is rendered without the image.
"
ERROR 2005-02-01 07:33:01.749 [manager.] (): Unsupported element encountered: external-graphic (Namespace: default). Source context: file:/C:/software/tomcat/webapps/cocoon/index.fo (line: 1, col: 1)
ERROR 2005-02-01 07:33:01.759 [manager.] (): Expected XSL-FO (root, page-sequence, etc.), SVG (svg, rect, etc.) or elements from another supported language.
ERROR 2005-02-01 07:33:01.829 [manager.] (): no handler defined for external-graphic foreign xml
"
If I render the pdf the normal way, using cocoon as a servlet the result is as desired, the same is true when I use the CLI to generate the xsl-fo xml and after that uses fop.bat on the xml.
My first thought was that my java environment used the wrong Xerces or Xalan files. However the problem persisted even after placing the same Xalan and Xerces files found in my tomcat endorsed folder in the jre endorsed folder.
The error message indicate that the namespace of the external-graphic element is omitted for some reason. When trying to use a none existing fo element such as <fo:blablabla /> the same error message is shown. However the Namespace : default is change to Namespace: http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format) for the blablabla object.
I run Cocoon 2.0 binary version. and fop 0.20.5. I have tried to do a complete reinstall of cocoon (only updating the batik.jar so that cocoon will start on tomcat5). In this test environment I used a minimal sitemap and a static xsl:fo file. The result is the same. The pdf is generated as it should when called through the cocoon servlet but fails when called through the CLI.
If anyone has had this problem I would be very happy to find a solution. I have no problem making some adjustments to cocoon or fop source files but as it is now I don't know where to start looking for the problem.
Best regards Peter Gustafsson
