Anyone can help ?

2002-01-22 Thread Nick Winger

hi !


i have three questions using fop  ( with tables ):

1. i want to generate a pdf dynamically using java. now first i write a
dynamically fo file (formatted objects):

on the pages there is always a text ( form start to the middle of the
page) and below ( the other half os the page)
an image:
now when i write the text in java:
how can i recognize when i reach the half of the page ?
should i divide the half page points with the font-height and count the
rows ?


2. is it possible to have two different font-sizes in one column of a table
?


3. can i turn the bottom cell line (border) of a cell off ?


greetings

Please help with params - please help

2002-01-22 Thread Dudley . Butt

Ok guys, what i really need help with is sending params thru to my XSL
sheet, basically, it would be great if someone could please help me with how
to use params in XSLT.
What i need is some external data to be written on a PDF page, basically a
fax cover sheet. The process just before the XSL transform has 2 bits of
data that I need to print on the sheet. How can I get it so that I can
retrieve them and print the data?

Thanx

OK, A lot of thanks Rabi. We have the database in 
ADABAS (it's our problem) We want to use some graphical tool, if you know 
something more later i am grateful if you tell me. We are going to have to 
design a lot of model of reports (about one hundred or two hundred) and the use 
of graphical tool help us.We have find a tool like XSLFast allow "draw" the 
report and it generate the source code XSL needed to apply for XML 
data.

Thanks Again

  hi Antonio,  we had a oracle 
  database. some of the data were taken from the database and other from 
  the forms of the web pages(jsp pages) and with these values the xml files were 
  generated. this is how we made pdf reports. we didnt use any 
  graphic tools. actually the client had provided us with the format of 
  the report they wanted using their reporting tool. so all we had to do 
  was make the report in the same way.
  rgds, Rabi.

RE: Any real-life business use ?

2002-01-22 Thread Michiel Verhoef

Hi,

In a previous project we had to build around 350 reports in HTML, all from
XML generated bij JPSs. We decided to write an XSL library
that had a number of templates to build several parts of the report (ie.
HTML and XSL code). Worked like a charm and all the specific
reports consisted of were some specific details, the rest was pretty generic
 parameter driven. Adding a new type of report was easy
and could be done in a jiffy.

My best advice would be: use a good old plain text editor and do something
like the above because all graphical tools in the world do not
produce code as good as a programmer does. I've seen some horrible results
from things like XML Spy XSL designer etc. Yikes!

Just my $0.02,

Michiel

Cool! Since this is labeled a Release Candidate is there actually 
plan to make this a release at some point? 0.20.2 never got beyond 
release candidate.

XPATH question - not FOP related

2002-01-22 Thread Brian T. Wolf



This is obviously off-topic, but 
since I have been subscribed to this list for a few months I know that you folks 
will be the most likely to answer this. I have been searching the various 
references, but I am not even sure what I should be looking for.

Here is the situation: I am using 
xsl:for-each to loop through some data. For every pass after the first I 
want to insert another command. How do I test to see whether this is the first 
pass?

example:

xsl:for-each 
select="some_data"

xsl:if test="is 
not the first"
 This is not the 
first!
/xsl:if

Repeating 
section...
/xsl:for-each

Thank you for your help.

Hello Brian.

This will help you:

xsl:for-each select=some_data
 xsl:if test=position()[.'1']
  This is not the first!
 /xsl:if
 Repeating section...
/xsl:for-each

OR

xsl:for-each select=some_data
 xsl:if test=position() gt;'1'
  This is not the first!
 /xsl:if
