Andreas - thanks, that explains a bunch. Last year I updated to a more
recent build from the HEAD (2004-05-29) because of a problem I was
having with a hyphenation problem that caused a spin loop.
When I tried to upgrade to a more recent version I ran into a problem of
not understanding how to achieve what I was achieving with the following
code:
imageURLProtocol = getInitParameter("imageURLProtocol");
String httpBaseDir = ".";
String baseDir = this.getServletContext().getRealPath(httpBaseDir);
userAgent = new FOUserAgent();
userAgent.setBaseURL(imageURLProtocol+baseDir);
...
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
driver.setUserAgent(userAgent);
driver.initialize();
Basically I need to set the base directory of where I output my PDF
files to.
AnywayI have looked at the new FOPServlet and understand it. And have
looked through many postings, the code and doc - but do not have a clue.
The new FOP API does things differently, it uses some standard Java XML
functions to create a "source" from a file. Maybe I just do not
understand the Java XML API well enough.
Can you give me a little guidance here?
Thank you once again.
- Richard
