Andreas, Thanks for confirming!
Yes indeed i found out i had to bypass the startDocument method - still smells a bit, but then again fish is tasty What i am making is a possibility to include PlantUML ( http://plantuml.sourceforge.net/) UML diagrams in the FOP rendering <uml-diagram format="svg" ...> @startuml Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response @enduml </uml-diagram> I get the basic UML diagram, just need to work a bit on the size (hopefully next weekend ). What would be a way to make it a more structural solution (like barcode etc) so perhaps other people can use it as well? tx., On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 7:44 PM, Andreas Delmelle < andreas.delme...@telenet.be> wrote: > On 15 Mar 2010, at 07:35, Raphael Parree wrote: > > Hi Raphael > > > I have meanwhiel found a way of making it work - i am sure there must be > a better way; what i'm doing below smells pretty bad... > > I SAX parse the SVG and propagate its SAX events to the XmlFilter's > parent content handler: > > The key reason, I think, the chosen approach is working (where your > original cited approach wasn't), is simply because it does not propagate the > startDocument() and endDocument() events to the parent. > > (Interesting to note that FOP needs to do the exact opposite at parse-time: > the embedded SVG comes in as just another startElement(), and the child > events are then routed to a delegate ContentHandler, precisely because > raising startDocument() more than once on the same ContentHandler would lead > to an exception.) > > Maybe it would be slightly better to define an explicit DefaultHandler > subclass, as opposed to using anonymous overrides, but the net effect would > be the same. > > IMO, it would look nicer, and would definitely be preferable over your > current solution if you need the same approach in multiple places, but the > bottom line is that your solution is correct. > It smells a bit fishy maybe, but using an intermediate DefaultHandler that > swallows startDocument() and endDocument() definitely seems like the most > straightforward way to tackle this issue. > > > HTH! > > Regards, > > > Andreas Delmelle > --- > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org > > -- Raphael Parree CTO SOA Evangelist phone +33 673 75 34 62 Disclaimer...
