Yes, it supports relative, but relative URLs not relative file paths. So, what you want it:
file:pdf_test and file:pdf_test/pdf_fonts Good Luck, Ted _____ From: Preuss, Jacqueline - ENCOWAY [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 4:26 AM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: MalformedURLException when using relative paths Hi! We're just upgrading from fop_0.92 to fop_0.95beta. In our Fop Configuration File we defined a base and a font-base like this: <base>./pdf_test</base> <font-base>./pdf_test/pdf_fonts</font-base> With 0.92 everything works fine but with the newer version we get the following exception: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: ./pdf_test/ at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:567) at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:464) at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:413) at org.apache.fop.apps.FopFactory.checkBaseURL(FopFactory.java:339) at org.apache.fop.apps.FopFactory.setBaseURL(FopFactory.java:355) at org.apache.fop.apps.FopFactoryConfigurator.configure(FopFactoryConfigurator. java:116) at org.apache.fop.apps.FopFactoryConfigurator.setUserConfig(FopFactoryConfigura tor.java:231) at org.apache.fop.apps.FopFactoryConfigurator.setUserConfig(FopFactoryConfigura tor.java:203) at org.apache.fop.apps.FopFactory.setUserConfig(FopFactory.java:637) Are relative paths not allowed anymore? What can we do to solve this? Are there any suggestions available? Regards, Jacqueline.
