RE: IE reloads the PDF document generated from servlet multiplet imes (2 times!)
Hi Savino,
Thanks so much, it works for me.
It definitely saves the extra time spent in reload of servlet.
However I used the cache-control directive for IE :-
--
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=10"); // workaround so IE
does not refresh/reload PDF page again/twice
--
regds,
Dharmendra

This is a known issue. There seem to be several approaches, which may depend
on your particular situation. There's a full discusssion of this on the
fop-dev list under the subject 'FO -> PDF works with Netscape, not with IE'
which has the code for my solution (you can find it in the archives if not
subscribed). I believe this is also going to be in the FAQ soon.
Please let me know if you have more questions.

IE reloads the PDF document generated from servlet multiple times (2 times!)
Hi FOP Users,
Has anyone come across the problem of Servlet getting called multiple
times by IE (ver 5.5)
I use the following to render PDF using an input source, however I see in
log that that IE calls my servlet 2 times!
I use the following code as in the example for embedding fop in servlet -
--
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
Driver driver = new Driver(inputSource,
response.getOutputStream());
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
driver.run();
--
Aparently I noticed that after the first time my servlet is done
processing the XSLT, IE 5.5 launches the PDF pluggin!,
The PDF pluggin again repeats the whole XSLT transform, and only then it
display the PDF output.
Anybody has similar experience with IE 5.5 ? any ideas/suggestions are
appreciated.
Thanks!,
Dharmendra

PDF - displaying GIF under UNIX
Hi Fop Users, Have you ever tried to display GIF images on Unix within PDF generated using XSL FO ? I am able to get the same working in Windoze, however on Unix it throws an exception :- java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: exception occurred in JNI_OnLoad at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(ClassLoader.java:1382) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1298) at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:749) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:820) at sun.security.action.LoadLibraryAction.run(LoadLibraryAction.java:53) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at sun.awt.image.NativeLibLoader.loadLibraries(NativeLibLoader.java:41) at sun.awt.image.GifImageDecoder.(GifImageDecoder.java:367) at sun.awt.image.InputStreamImageSource.getDecoder(InputStreamImageSource.java: 222) at sun.awt.image.URLImageSource.getDecoder(URLImageSource.java:142) at sun.awt.image.InputStreamImageSource.doFetch(InputStreamImageSource.java:251 ) at sun.awt.image.ImageFetcher.fetchloop(ImageFetcher.java:217) at sun.awt.image.ImageFetcher.run(ImageFetcher.java:185) I am using JDK1.3, and have all the XSL FOP jars in the "CLASSPATH" and LD_LIBRARY_PATH has "/opt/jdk-1.3/jre/lib/sparc" Is there anything I am missing ?

Unsatisfied link error on Unix: using FOP for PDF output with GIFs
Hi, I was trying to generate PDF file using XSL:FO and when the path to image(gif) is incorrect the PDF does shows up without the GIF. however, when the path is corrrect, it tries to load the GIF it runs into Unsatidfied Link Error. I was wondering if FOP needs any particular X11 library on Unix for drawing the Gifs Parsing of document complete, stopping renderer java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: exception occurred in JNI_OnLoad at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(ClassLoader.java:1382) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1298) at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:749) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:820) at sun.security.action.LoadLibraryAction.run(LoadLibraryAction.java:53) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at sun.awt.image.NativeLibLoader.loadLibraries(NativeLibLoader.java:41) at sun.awt.image.GifImageDecoder.(GifImageDecoder.java:367) at sun.awt.image.InputStreamImageSource.getDecoder(InputStreamImageSource.java: 222) at sun.awt.image.URLImageSource.getDecoder(URLImageSource.java:142) at sun.awt.image.InputStreamImageSource.doFetch(InputStreamImageSource.java:251 ) at sun.awt.image.ImageFetcher.fetchloop(ImageFetcher.java:217) at sun.awt.image.ImageFetcher.run(ImageFetcher.java:185) Any ideas ?

Problem trying to change page Header dynamically...
Hi FOP Users, Seems like I am not doing something right and would appreciate your input/thoughts on the same... I am trying to have the header for the page to vary depending on the information being displayed I tried to define xsl variables in the "fo:region-before" section and try to modify the same from within the "fo:region-body" in the fo:flow element. but it just picks the initial value of the variable and repeats the same for all the pages.. Also I tried to call a template from within the same instead of the using the variable, and got similar results.. So here's the problem, I would get the text data to display for header, while I am processing the xml from within the fo:flow element ie. "", however the header is within the " any thoughts? ideas...?? Thanks (in anticipation!), Dharmendra
alignment of leader/rule ?
Hi, I am using Fop-0.20.1 and have been trying to have a fo:leader to be aligned in the "middle"/"center", however it defaults to the "baseline"/"bottom". ie. it is currently like the following :- THIS IS A TITLE LINE _ here are the details on the tile - However I want it to be as follows :- THIS IS A TITLE LINE [this line should be a "solid" line as shown in above, but vertically aligned in the center/middle] here are the details on the tile - I have looked at 'alignment-adjust' and 'alignment-baseline' however I get the warning that it is not implemented yet!. Is there a different approach to the same ? or anything I am missing something here ? pls. help. Thanks (in anticipation!), Dharmendra
Using FOP in Servlet - *dynamically* generating XSL:FO using XML and XSLT
Hi, I am trying to have use XSL:FOP through servlet and I was hoping to use XML and XSLT to dynamically generate the XSL:FOP format file to be passed to Driver for rendering as PDF. The example which comes with distribution uses xmlFile and xslFile, however I wanted to generate the XML and XSL at run time and to be able to pass the output into the Driver for rendering a PDF. However I found that currently XSLTInputHandler constructor only accepts xmlFile and xslFile? Is there a possible way where I can have the xsl:fo be generated dynamically and be able to pass it to Driver as an InputSource for rendering. (since InputSource constructor does accept/allow InputStream) Am I missing something ? or Do I need to write my own handler ? I am lost here... pls. help. Thanks (in anticipation!), Dharmendra
Unix - FOP throwing classdef not found error
Hi, I am getting java runtime errors on Unix, I had copied all the relevant jars ie. fop.jar xalan-2.0.0.jar batik.jar jimi-1.0.jar xalanj1compat.jar, however I am using an older version of xerces (xerces.jar) instead of xerces.jar-1.2.3.jar since the rest of classes that I am using require that. I do not get any errors on the fonts and I do the messages from the driver.run() call... here's the stackTrace for the same :- Is there anything I am missing ?? Is there anything I am missing on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH ?? or could be caused by the older version of xerces ??? I am reading the "xsl:fo" file and am using "font-family" as 'sans-serif' in the xsl:fo format file for PDF generation. The same however does work on WinNT with SP6. Any pointers/help would be appreciated.
