Hello Jeremias.
Yes. You're right. There was a problem with the FO document..
in effect it was the same as the one I had a week ago caused
by the title element.
Anyways, I managed to move from 0.20.5 to 0.91beta and have it
generate correctly the pdf.
The only problem was with the trick I had used in 0.20.5
with the last marker so that the last page would not have the
subtotal on the last page. The difference:
- 0.20.5: <marker marker-class-name="subtotalvalue"></marker>
- 0.91beta: <marker marker-class-name="subtotalvalue"> </marker>
as you see, the only difference is that in 0.91beta a space
is necessary to have fop use an empty string on the last page
instead of the last non empty marker.
Also, 0.91beta correctly renders the subtotal in bold while
0.20.5 doesn't.
Ok. Next week I'll deploy 0.91beta in the production environment
and if all will be well, after a couple of weeks I'll report
here.
Just one more question:
I need be sure a small table will be shown all on the same page
and not split across two pages.. What is the best way to go
with 0.91beta ? Is it possible to achive that using several table-row
or should I use put all content in a single table-row?
Thank you and best regards.

I can't reproduce the problem. Here's what I've done:
- Created a new servlet cass extending from HttpServlet.
- Copy/pasted the sample code from
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.91/servlets.html#xslt
into the servlet class (in an empty doGet() method)
- Added a try/catch around everything to get rid of the exception errors.
- Removed the Source for the stylesheet so I get an identity
transformation.
- I then ran the servlet in Jetty and the PDF was generated just fine.
- Then, I did the same with the code you posted. I only replaced your
offer stuff with a simple StreamSource to an existing FO file.
- I then ran the servlet in Jetty and the PDF was generated just fine.
Concerning Constants.RENDER_PDF: I forgot to update that part when I
updated the docs for the last release. This is fixed on the web. But you
obviously found the right thing to change.
So, I think your code is ok (except for the offer stuff which I find
very suboptimal from a performance POV). It must be something else.
Since you catch any exception with an e.printStackTrace() (probably not
the best idea) I assume you got an exception in your code and didn't
check the log output of your web container. The web container probably
sends back an empty document to the browser in this case.
BTW, it's a good idea to extract the FOP-specific code into a separate
class which you can test and debug outside the web container.

Hello list.
I'm trying to move from 0.20.5 to 0.91beta.
Here's a problem I'm facing: following the instruction
in the documentation that comes the 0.91beta, lead to
code that doesn't compile.
So I modified it as follows to be able to compile, but
the result I get executing it wrong.. I get an empty
text/html document instead of the expected application/pdf
below's the code in the get/post servlet method and probably
the main difference from the documentation is the parameter
in the Fop constructor MimeConstants.MIME_PDF vs Constants.RENDER_PDF).
Note that this code is the same I used with FOP 0.20.5 with
just a few modification:
1) no Driver, but Fop
2) no driver.run() but transformer.transform()
