I had an unexpected problem running fop at work today. I run fop under
windows using cygwin and have used it for months with no problem. I
installed something else on cygwin, and when I ran FOP today (using the
bash script), I got a no classfound error.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/xmlgraphics/image/loader/ImageContext
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClassCond(Unknown Source)
[etc.]
I am using version:
FOP Version svn-trunk
I opened the FOP script and it seems that the problem lies here:
FOP_HOME=`cygpath --$format "$FOP_HOME"`
LCP_TEMP=`cygpath --path --unix "$LOCALCLASSPATH"`
LOCALCLASSPATH=`cygpath --path --$format "$LCP_TEMP"`
if [ -n "$CLASSPATH" ] ; then
CP_TEMP=`cygpath --path --unix "$CLASSPATH"`
CLASSPATH=`cygpath --path --$format "$CP_TEMP"`
fi
CYGHOME=`cygpath --$format "$HOME"`
The cygpath is actually truncating the LOCALCLASSPATH name because it is
too long. If I insert
echo $LOCALCLASSPATH
I get something like this:
C:/ava/fop-20111024/lib/xmlgraphics-commons-1.5svn.jar
^^^
Note how the C:/ava should be C:/java.
I tested out the cypath command on its own, and sure enough, it
truncates the first letter if the path name is too long.
However, even if I insert a sed command to change the LOCALCLASSPATH
back to
C:java/[rest of path name]
I still get the same error.
I also tried pasting the full classpath name back into the script and
setting the LOCALCLASSPATH name to it, but this didn't work either.
How should I set the classpath under cygwin? The cygwin path to the
first jar is:
/cgywin/java/fop-20111024/lib/xmlgraphics-commons-1.5svn.jar
I need a quick fix for work, and I believe I can copy the file to
/cygwin/java/fop-20111024, and then run
java -jar -fo file.fo -pdf file.pdf
In fact, I did this already, and the file got converted with no error
messages. I just didn't have time to look at the resulting PDF.
Thanks!
Paul
