Hello, I'm a newbie with iText and I'm trying to create a CF custom tag to wrap around XML code in order to create a PDF.
I have the following script, where thisTag.generatedContent is a string containing the XML code, which doesn't work...
<CFSCRIPT>
document = createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.Document").init();
pdfFile = createObject("java","java.io.FileOutputStream").init("/usr/local/web/intertest/test_itext.pdf");
writer = createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter").getInstance(document,pdfFile);
xmlCode = createObject("java","java.io.StringReader").init(thisTag.generatedContent);
xmlSource = createObject("java","org.xml.sax.InputSource").init(xmlCode);
tagStream = createObject("java","java.io.FileInputStream").init("/usr/local/web/intertest/test_xml2pdf_tagmap.xml");
tagMap = createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.xml.TagMap").init(tagStream);
document.open();
createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.xml.XmlParser").parse(document,xmlSource,tagMap);
document.close();
</CFSCRIPT>
The CF error I get is that the document has no pages.
However, I can get the following to work...
<CFSCRIPT>
document = createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.Document").init();
pdfFile = createObject("java","java.io.FileOutputStream").init("/usr/local/web/intertest/test_itext.pdf");
writer = createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfWriter").getInstance(document,pdfFile);
xmlStream = createObject("java","java.io.FileInputStream").init("/usr/local/web/intertest/test_xml2pdf.xml");
tagStream = createObject("java","java.io.FileInputStream").init("/usr/local/web/intertest/test_xml2pdf_tagmap.xml");
tagMap = createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.xml.TagMap").init(tagStream);
document.open();
createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.xml.XmlParser").parse(document,xmlStream,tagMap);
document.close();
</CFSCRIPT>
It also works when I use "/usr/local/web/intertest/test_xml2pdf.xml" instead of xmlStream.
I'm not sure how I can check whether xmlSource is a valid SAX source, but I'm gussing there's something wrong with the way I'm converting the character string into org.xml.sax.InputSource.
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks,
