userconfig for FOP in Cocoon3
Dear cocooners,
We use FOP to generate a PDF publication of a thesaurus. Needing cyrillic
greek we have to setup
a user configuration. This is not yet foreseen in the current FOPSerializer.
Yesterday Robby and Ivan were so kind to send me a working Cocoon 2.2
configuration.
This morning, there was room to adapt it to C3.
I suggest that we extend FOPSerializer.java a bit, to include an internal
configuration file resources.:
public FlopSerializer(String outputFormat, String userConfigurationPath) {
if (outputFormat == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(The parameter
'outputFormat' mustn't be null.);
}
URL configurationURL = this.getClass().getResource(/COB-INF/ +
userConfigurationPath);
try {
DefaultConfigurationBuilder cfgBuilder = new
DefaultConfigurationBuilder();
Configuration cfg =
cfgBuilder.build(configurationURL.openStream());
FOP_FACTORY.setUserConfig(cfg);
this.outputFormat = outputFormat;
}
This way, we can package our custom configuration and the font in the block
jar.
Kind regards,
Jos Snellings

Hi Jos,
this looks very nice: could you open an issue on JIRA and provide a
proper patch for this? I would be glad to take it, then. Thanks!
Regards.

Re: userconfig for FOP in Cocoon3
I will do that, Francesco!
However, this patch alters the constructor. This could cause other updates.
Better override setup?
I think that every pipeline's component setup method is called. I will try
that and log it in the ticket.
Ciao,
Jos

[jira] [Created] (COCOON3-99) Provide FopSerializer with an embedded user configuration present in the cocoon block
Jos Snellings created COCOON3-99: Summary: Provide FopSerializer with an embedded user configuration present in the cocoon block Key: COCOON3-99 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON3-99 Project: Cocoon 3 Issue Type: Improvement Components: cocoon-optional Affects Versions: 3.0.0-beta-1 Reporter: Jos Snellings Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.0.0-beta-1 The current FopSerializer creates an instance of FopFactory. Only the defaults are used. This is a problem if you want to generate PDFs from Unicode data. The Cyrillic and Greek characters have no glyphs in these fonts, causing those strings to be displayed as # sequences. This patch adds an override for the method setConfiguration to add a user configuration location via a sitemap parameter. In sitemap.xmap of the block, add the parameter userConfigurationPath indicating the location of the user configuration file. Example: map:match pattern=editor/publish/thesaurus.pdf map:generate type=publish/ map:transform src=presentation/xslt/thesaurusfo.xslt/ map:serialize type=flo2pdf map:parameter name=userConfigurationPath value=fopconf/fop.xconf/ /map:serialize /map:match -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
