Niladri,
So you fonr file is contained inside a WAR file, do I have that right?
Any reason you cannot move it outside the WAR?

No Sir,
if you check the api for this method this does not work for
any file inside war. My file is inside the war.

Thats right sir, i tried that see below the code i written
public class PrintServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void init(ServletConfig config) {
String fileLoc = config.getInitParameter("fontlocation");
System.out.println("File loc " + fileLoc);
}
Now this code gives the path from the webapp location like :
/font/AZ.ttf
But I want the full path for the existing file in the system, i.e.
C:\Workspace\CARAT_PL\res\LombardBusiness\webapp\font\AZ.ttf
This is the problem.
How can I get the path : C:\Workspace\CARAT_PL\res\LombardBusiness ??
Thanks
Niladri.

Ok great! Then what you can do is create an init parameter for your
servlet that provides the location of the font. The in your servlet you
can use servlet context to get to that parameter as follows:
String pathToFont =
ServletContext.getInitParameter("nameOfFontInitParameter");

Do you know where the font is located on your system?

Hi Schalk,
Thanks a lot for your solution provided but for me that
s of no use becayse for my application I do not have any access to the
build files of my application. Is there any other way to create the Font
for PDFs using iText ?
Thanks
Niladri.

Greetings Nilardi,
I created a properties file with an entry such as:
wealthReportWeb.plugins.dir=${wealthReportWeb.webContent.dir}/WEB-INF/pl
atform/plugins
wealthReportWeb.fonts.dir=${wealthReportWeb.plugins.dir}/org.eclipse.bir
t...report.engine.fonts_2.2.1.v20070823/fonts/
Inside my build.xml Ant script, I then have the following:
<target name="createBirtConfigProperties">
<propertyfile
file="${wealthReportWeb.gensrc.dir}/BirtConfig.properties">
<entry key="verdana" value="${wealthReportWeb.fonts.dir}/verdana.ttf" />
</propertyfile>
</target>
Then inside my code I do the following:
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont(configProps.getString("verdana"),
BaseFont.WINANSI, BaseFont.NOT_EMBEDDED);
HTH!

Hi
I am unable to create the Font inside my servlet and my page events
class. How to get the actual path of the Font file , can somebody help
me ?
the code written is :
BaseFont bf = BaseFont.createFont(fontPathName, BaseFont..IDENTITY_H,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
Now this font path name must be the actual path of the file in the
system. The file is put inside webapp folder, hence inside the .war
file. This is required inside my page events class also.
Please help me if possible.
Thanks
Niladri.
