Re: displaying images in XSL-FO for Apache Cocoon

Hi Christian,

Thank you for your observation.
I don't think it works, because of the way Cocoon resolves paths.

I solved the problem in the following way, following Kai's suggestion.
[this is a solution for FOP 0.20.5 embedded in Cocoon 2.1.8]

1. Edit WEB-INF/sitemap.xmap:
   <map:serializer name="fo2pdf" ...>
      <user-config>fop-config.xml</user-config>
   </map:serializer>

2. Copy file from fop-0.20.5\conf\userconfig.xml
   to <cocoon-path>\build\webapp\test\fop-config.xml

3. Edit this (fop-config.xml) file and add the following entry:
   <entry>
      <key>baseDir</key>
      <value><cocoon-path>\build\webapp\test</value>
   </entry>

It worked for me.
Thanks,
   Diego Guillen

Hi,

i guess that the pass isn correct:

images/

     myimage.gif
  styles/
     mydbk2pdf.xsl (containing the code above)


if your xsl is in root/styles/ and the image is in root/images/ the relative 
path from styles to images is ../images, so you should try as follows:
<fo:external-graphic src="../images/myimage.gif"/>

Hi Kai,

Thank you very much for the insight. It worked !!!

And the fo's syntax is:
   <fo:external-graphic src="url('images/myimage.gif')"/> It also works without 
the url():
   <fo:external-graphic src="images/myimage.gif"/>

Best regards,

You can configure the FOPSerializer in sitemap.xmap to use a user config file where you can set the base directory: 

<map:serializer logger="sitemap.serializer.fo2pdf"
mime-type="application/pdf" name="fo2pdf"
src="org.apache.cocoon.serialization.FOPSerializer">
    <user-config>WEB-INF/fop-config.xml</user-config>
</map:serializer>

Subject: displaying images in XSL-FO for Apache Cocoon


Hi all,

I have been using Apache Cocoon 2.1.8 (which uses Apache FOP 0.20.5).
I have coded xsl-fo and managed to display PDF successfully with:
headers, footers, paragraphs, lists, and tables.

However, here is where I need your help:
I have generated the following xsl-fo for displaying images in PDF, which doesn't seem to work: [I've tried all of the cases below, without results] [I'm omitting the enclosing <fo> tags]
<fo:external-graphic src="images/myimage.gif"/> <fo:external-graphic src="*url(*images/myimage.gif*)*"/> 
<fo:external-graphic src="*file:/*images/myimage.gif"/>
<fo:external-graphic src="*url(file:/*images/myimage.gif*)*"/>
<fo:external-graphic src="*../*images/myimage.gif"/> <fo:external-graphic src="*url(../*images/myimage.gif*)*"/> 
<fo:external-graphic src="*file:/../*images/myimage.gif"/>
<fo:external-graphic src="*url(file:/../*images/myimage.gif*)*"/>

My project structure is:
* test/
  sitemap.xmap
  content/
     testfile.xml  (containing docbook)
  images/
     myimage.gif
  styles/
     mydbk2pdf.xsl (containing the code above)

My sitemap.xmap contains the following fragments:

   <!-- for processing pdf requests -->
  <map:match pattern="test/*.pdf">
     <map:generate type="file" src="test/content/{1}.xml"/>
     <map:transform type="xslt" src="styles/mydbk2pdf.xsl"/>
     <map:serialize type="fo2pdf"/>
  </map:match>

 <!-- for processing images -->
  <map:match pattern="images/**.gif">
     <map:read src="context://test/images/{1}.gif"
mime-type="image/gif"/>
  </map:match>

Your insight will be much appreciated.
I would also appreciate if someone could give me an example that works.

Best resgards,
  Diego Guillen
