RE: FOP embedding problem (NoClassDefFoundError)

Sounds like your .jar files are not being shared across different web-apps, do you have shared jar files in the common lib folder of Tomcat?

Subject: FOP embedding problem (NoClassDefFoundError)

Hello,

I'm a young programmer and I'd like to embed FOP in my application, but unfortunately I'm having some problems to do this.

First of all, I tried to embed FOP using the code given in the sample application ExampleFO2PDF (available with FOP), but when I tried to test my application, I got the following error:

Exception in thread main
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.fop.fo.PropertyListMaker

 at org.apache.fop.apps.Driver.<init>(Driver.java:221)

 at embedding.ExampleFO2PDF.convertFO2PDF(ExampleFO2PDF.java:80)

 at embedding.ExampleFO2PDF.main(ExampleFO2PDF.java:131)

I checked the code of my application, but I couldn't find any error (the code is almost the same as in the sample apllication).

So I decided to test the sample application ExampleFO2PDF, and I got the same error (I was expecting it).

After seaching the web for a solution, I found (in a CVS commit) the code of the "missing interface" (PropertyListMaker). So I added this interface to the package and I tested again both applications, and then I got another error:

Exception in thread main
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.fop.fo.ElementMapping$Maker

 at org.apache.fop.apps.Driver.<init>(Driver.java:221)

 at embedding.ExampleFO2PDF.convertFO2PDF(ExampleFO2PDF.java:80)

 at embedding.ExampleFO2PDF.main(ExampleFO2PDF.java:131)

I searched the web once again but I could not find the code of the "missing class". So I decided to test the FOP application (given with the FOP API). I tested it with y FO file, and it worked, I got my PDF file without any problem. So I tried to embed FOP in my application using the code the the FOP application (wich is different from the code of the sample application), but I got the same errors.

The IDE I'm working with is Oracle JDeveloper, I added the files fop.jar, avalon-framework-cvs-20020806.jar and ant-1.5.1.jar to the environment, I did not add the Xalan and Batik JARs to the environment because I'm using more recent versions of Xalan and Batik. I downloaded FOP on the Apache website.

I hope that this mail is complete and I would be glad if you could help me to solve this problem.

Thanks

Samuel REMACLE
