Hi all,
I want to generate a pdf with Fop with the help of velocity-servlets .
The application works fine and the the generating of pdf makes no
problems, without images in the vm-file. Now, I want to add an image. No
problem? A big problem for me, obviously! The application works fine
again, BUT the generated pdf-file displays no image.
What's going wrong?
1. entry in servlet init()-Method
...
new Options(new
File("/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/webAT/conf/userconfig.xml"));
...
2. Entry in "userconfig.xml":
<entry>
<key>baseDir</key>
<value>usr/local/tomcat/webapss/webAT/templates/pdf/</value>
</entry>
I tried a lot, like this
" <value>./webAT/templates/pdf/</value>"
or like this
"<value>/templates/pdf/</value>"
or like this
"<value>webAT</value>"
an so on
3. abs. Path to the vm-File on my testserver is
usr/local/tomcat/webapps/webAT/templates/pdf/test.vm
4. abs. Path to image
usr/local/tomcat/webapps/webAT/templates/pdf/logotr.gif --> the same
directory
5. vm-File:
snip
<fo:external-graphic height="16pt" scaling="uniform"
src="url('file:logotr.gif')"/>
snip
6. I'm looking in the mailing for similar problems. But all proposals to
solve the problem failed.
And whatever I try, I got more than less the same error:
"Error while creating area : Invalid Image URL - error on relative URL :
no protocol:
usr/local/tomcat/webapss/webAT/templates/pdf/logotr.gif"
Additionally, I tried an alternative:
servlet init()-Method :
snip
Configuration.put("baseDir", "file:" +
getServletContext().getRealPath("/WebAT/templates/pdf/") );
snip
errormessage:
"Error while recovering Image Informations
(file:/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/webAT/WebAT/templates/pdf/logotr.gif) :
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/webAT/WebAT/templates/pdf/logotr.gif (No such
file or directory)"
further informations:
Eclipse 3.0.2
Apache Tomcat/5.0.28
FOP 0.20.5
Any idea? Have I overlooked a simple fault?
Thanks in advance
Peter
