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.

Subject: Re: [iText-questions] Problem with Font creation.
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”);

Greetings Nilardi,
I created a properties file with an entry such as:
wealthReportWeb.plugins.dir=${wealthReportWeb.webContent.dir}/WEB-INF/platform/plugins
wealthReportWeb.fonts.dir=${wealthReportWeb.plugins.dir}/org.eclipse.birt...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.
