RE: FO - PDF works with Netscape, not with IE
I don't set no-cache. I control caching by adding a unique string (current
time in milliseconds) the query string. That way if the browser calls the
exact same string, which can only happen when it is repeating the same
internal request, it is allowed to use it's own internal cache.

RE: Any real-life business use ?
Our app is in live beta testing right now. We use FOP to generate printable versions of a lab report and 5 canned mgmt. reports. (I've included a demo copy of the lab report, just to show some of what FOP can do.) So far the only limitations we've found are: 1) Memory. Fop runs out of memory on large reports (from 40+ pages), moreso when several are being run concurrently. (It also happens more often on our $20,000 HP-UX production machines vs. my PIII-NT4 dev box. I have all the settings to HP recommendations. I don't think the HP-UX JVM, even with Hotspot, is tuned very well for garbage collection.) I understand that they way around this is to implement new page sequences every x pages or so. The problem is some of our reports don't have natural page breaks, so I guess I will have to insert some in odd places. 2) Table-header flexibility. We sometimes have a desire to alter the table header for every instance after the first (like inserting the word 'Continued'). I'm gearing up to write a FOP extension to accomplish this. 3) Keep-with-next endless looping problem. Apparently this will be addressed very soon. 4) Complex page numbering. We have a need to display a subsection page number separately within the document. (IE - document page 4 of 9 is subsection page 1 of 3.) Haven't figured out a way to do this. Maybe another extension? 5) On the attached lab report, I can't figure out a way to get the table (or it could be cell) border to extend to the bottom of the page. Note that the report is broken into 4 sections, all of which can span multiple pages. Any ideas on this one would be greatly appreciated. I posted a message about it awhile back (subj: min table or table-cell height?) but no one got back to me. Maybe the visual of the actual lab report will help. All in all, we're very pleased with FOP. I know I surprised some people who didn't think it was possible to work the voodoo of dynamic PDF generation w/o shelling out for a $$$ product, and probably consultants on top of that. thx, Matt Savino -Original Message- From: Patrick Andries [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2002 2:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Any real-life business use ?

My problem is that I need to change the filepath between environments.

with something relative (IE - absolute URL prefix for HTTPS redirects,
absolute filepath to the XSLT stylesheets, etc.).
The problem is I have no idea how to get Xalan to read properties from

change the image source path everytime I upload a build to
the Unix box.

Well, try this one:

You can also do this, I think, if you only need the

Servlet called multiple times solved
Thanks to David Frankson and the other members of this board, I have finally fully solved the problem with IE calling FOP two or three times problem. The first solution came from this: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q293/7/92.ASP But if you read the fine print, you notice that IE only uses user-agent=contype on the second hit. That still leaves the first and third hits calling FOP. There are some clues to tell the difference betweent the first and third hits, so I was trying to only return the full PDF on the third hit. The problem is that IE sometimes decides to be content with only one hit, and sometimes it decides to make all three. There is no apparent rhyme or reason to this decision. If you only return the content-type on the first call when IE has decided to only make one call it just sits there. Anyway, the second part of the solution was to cache the PDF byte-array in the user's session and return it on any subsequent hits on the first pass. As a key to test that the PDFs are truly the same, I use a counter in the query string which is the time in milliseconds. Anyway here's the code. As usual there's a bunch of extra stuff, but I figure it may help. Please ask if you have any questions. -Matt ReportGeneratorServlet.java ReportGeneratorServlet.java Description: Binary data - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: weblogic and fop
Here is the servlet we use to generate PDF and HTML from XML which is stored in the user's session on Weblogic 6.1. There is some extra stuff in it, but you should be able to filter the relevant parts. It also has a partial fix to the IE-pre-5.0 servlet called twice or three times problem. I'm working on what I hope will be the final solution right now. Here is the classpath and startup command I use on our Windows development boxes: set CLASSPATH=.\config\isappdev\lib\fop.jar;.\config\isappdev\lib\xalan-2.0.0.ja r;.\config\isappdev\lib\xmlparserv2.jar;.\config\isappdev\lib\xsu12.jar;.\co nfig\isappdev\lib\classes12.zip;.\config\isappdev\lib\batik.jar;.\config\isa ppdev\lib\xerces-1.2.3.jar;.;.\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;.\lib\weblogic.jar; %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -hotspot -verbose:gc -ms380m -mx380m -classpath %CLASSPATH% -Dpropfile=%BEA_HOME%\wlserver6.1.\config\isappdev\applications\RVWebApp1\W EB-INF\resultview.properties -Ddomain_propfile=%BEA_HOME%\wlserver6.1.\config\isappdev\isappdev.properti es -Dweblogic.Domain=isappdev -Dweblogic.Name=NT4Dev -Dbea.home=%BEA_HOME% -Djava.security.policy==%BEA_HOME%\wlserver6.1\lib\weblogic.policy -Dweblogic.management.password=%WLS_PW% weblogic.Server As you can see we have a domain-level properties file called isappdev.properties. These properties, which include the XSLTPathPrefix property, are loaded into the servlet context on boot. Still haven't figured out how to get a relative or dynamic image file path to work in my XSLT styleshhet that converts XML-FO. Anyone? (HTTP won't work because of the constantly changing environments from Windows-dev to Unix - dev, QA and Prod.)

(Off topic, but why anybody ever decided that using a single static method to get an XML parser (which one you get only controlled by the classpath is totally beyond me. It might work fine in some cases, but since everybody and their dog started writing specialised versions the whole thing has turned into a classpath nightmare. Forget it if you want dynamic classpaths - Webapp, anyone?) So, to fix this, you have to include the FOP versions in the system CLASSPATH BEFORE the weblogic ones. You then need to set up the type of parser in the system property. (Again, this is a bad idea conceptually, IMHO) So, to get the thing running, I have the following: CLASSPATH=$WL_HOME:$WL_HOME/classes:$WL_HOME/lib/weblogic_sp.j ar:$WL_HOME/lib/weblogic.jar:$WL_HOME/xmlx.jar LOCAL_CLASSPATH=$LOCAL_LIBDIR/xalan-2.0.0.jar:$LOCAL_LIBDIR/ba tik.jar:$LOCAL_LIBDIR/fop.jar:$LOCAL_LIBDIR/avalon-fr amework-4.0.jar:$LOCAL_LIBDIR/logkit-1.0b4.jar: JAVA_CMD_LINE=$JAVA_HOME/bin/java $JAVA_OPTIONS -classpath $LOCAL_CLASSPATH:$CLASSPATH (weblogic stuff here) -Dorg.xml.sax.driver=org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser weblogic.Server $JAVA_CMD_LINE However, YMMV Other warning(s): Due to the (by design) limitations of the java classloader, you will have to make sure that any extensions that you write to FOP/XSL are also in the system classpath, and I pity you if you want to do any of this in an EJB I reckon I will spin the whole PDF rendering thing off as a Jini service and be done with the whole classpath problem. You will also need to be aware of limitations of FOP wrt headless servers. (It won't work) (Actually, any program that requres a graphics context will have problems.) You may want to look at PJA as a way around this. (Alternatively, VNC will also work). In terms of the programs etc to write, the examples work fine.

RE: Performance difference between Unix and PC
Below I've pasted an excerpt from a post to this board a few months back. I also posted a variation of the same question on the Weblogic.performance newsgroup. The answer I got back was that basically that performance difference didn't sound surprising considering the processor speed. Which came a as a big surprise to a lot of our IT guys here who were convinced that RISC was supposed to smoke Pentium at any speed. I have a theory that the speed difference is because Java (and the hotspot implementation in particular) is much better tuned for Windows than HP-UX. I never got an explanation as to why Weblogic degraded so much more running two large reports on the UNIX box. So we know run one Weblogic instance per CPU, basically because of FOP. original email subj:benchmarking question To benchmark I used FOP to render a 200 page PDF document from an XSLT transform on a static XML-file (no database connection is involved). The XSLT transform takes very little time compared to the FOP renderer. I've attached a smaller, but otherwise identical version of the PDF doc I'm using to benchmark. I've tried a DomSource for input, a SaxSource, and the XSLTInputHandler. The results are almost exactly the same in each case. Below are the results I see. Initial heap size=max heap size in each case. Each server is running the latest JDK 131 (w/Hotspot). (I have set all the HP system variables (max_thread_proc, etc.) to Sun recommendations.) Nt dev box (NT4-Worksatation, PIII-933mhz, 512MB ram): Heap Size=64M, 1 report = 251ms/page Heap Size=64M, 2 reports = 750ms/page Heap Size=256M, 1 report = 245ms/page Heap Size=256M, 2 reports = 500/page HP server (HP-Unix, 2x550 mhz, 2GB ram): Heap Size=64M, 1 report = 545ms/page (frequent out of memory errors) Heap Size=64M, 2 reports = didn't try Heap Size=256M, 1 report = 372ms/page Heap Size=256M, 2 reports = 1700ms/page Heap Size=512M, 1 report = 350ms/page Heap Size=512M, 2 reports = 1675ms/page The only difference I can see for sure between the two boxes is that the NT machine performs at least 10 times as much garbage collection. (Sometimes several times per page, as opposed to once every 8-10 pages on the Unix box.) Garbage collection occurs a little more frequenly on the HP box when I lower the heap size, but still not nearly as often as on the NT--at any heap size. Also the HP box runs out of memory if I lower the heap size. I was hoping this was due to some HP setting, but I'm starting to come to the conclusion that it's just some difference in the hotspot implementations.

page numbering question
I need to separately keep track of and print out page numbers within a sub-section of the master document. I could start a new page-sequence, but the problem is that I have a master header which needs to show the running page number of the entire document. Page |-- Header --| |-- Page 5 of 25 --| || |-- Subsection | |-- Page 1 of 6 | || Page |-- Header --| |-- Page 6 of 25 --| || |-- Subsection | |-- Page 2 of 6 | || Can FOP do anything like this? I hope I'm making myself clear. It would be easy enough if I could manipulate fo:page-number to add or subtract a fixed number. But I don't see this ability. Any ideas at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -Matt - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: servlet called thrice on IE 4.0
Thanks for all the ideas. Interstingly, I only get the problem on IE 4.0. not 4.72 an above. I wonder if Weblogic is doing something behind the scenes to mitigate the calls. Also strange is that it doesn't seem to happen all the time. When I get a minute to come up for air I'll sit down and try to troubleshoot the problem. Our application is for a very limited number of end users, and we can pretty much tell them to use IE 4.72 and higher. So I hope I'm ok on this one. I really don't feel like trying to implememnt Microsoft's Active-X solution. -Original Message- From: Joerg Pietschmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 11:28 PM To: FOP List Subject: Re: servlet called thrice on IE 4.0 Savino, Matt C [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I know this has been discussed here before, but I just wanted to ask in case anyone has discovered a solution.

RE: New FOP Code Don't Work
Make sure you have both namespaces in your stylesheet:
xsl:stylesheet version=1.0
xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform;

Wow! You neglected to mention that, didn't you? ;-) I guess
I had to be more specific about which version of FOP I use when
I posted the code.
0.20.1 never worked for me at all, I had to build from CVS
until 0.20.2RC came out. With 0.19 the method works, but
FOP doesn't really produce the PDF on the fly, instead it
builds the whole FO tree in memory, and after the parsing is
done you have to call
driver.format();
driver.render();
In other words, you don't buy much by using SAX events with 0.19.
0.20.2RC has a major improvement for more streamlined processing.

Recently someone suggested using SAX events to run XML

FOP and to send the PDF back to the browser from a servlet. I tried
implmenting this (see code below) but all I don't get any

keep-with-next?
It's my understanding that keep-with-next=always at the row level is the only keep-together | with-*=* property currently implemented in FOP. Is this true? I've also noticed that if the number of rows included is too big to fit on one page, you get an endless loop. This makes keep-with-next unusable for me in 90% of the places where I would like to use it. Are there any solutions I'm overlooking here?

Please excuse the cross-posting, but the explanation should go to both ends of the posts. Similarly, please excuse the temporary crosspost. I find myself, willy-nilly, in the process of re-designing and, piecemeal, rewriting chunks of FOP. I'm doing it because I can't read the existing code, because I need a clean and flexible design base to work from, and because I want to. At the moment I'm pretty much on my own, but that may change. If not, too bad. That's the beauty of open source. It's not Software Corp. My code blindness may simply reflect my not yet having an adequate grasp of this OO stuff, but I don't think that is the whole story. If the current design were good (and beautiful and true), rather than merely adequate, then surely the sensible thing would be to map the lot into C++ and C where necessary. That's not what is going to happen. In fact, a more likely scenario is that the C design, if it proves successful, will be retro-fitted into Java. What is currently happening with FOP is a pragmatic rewrite of just those things that absolutely have to be changed, spearheaded by Keiron Liddle (with support and encouragement...). The point is, the original FOP design was exceeded a year ago, give or take - many things were not accounted for, and they are not easily added. Hopefully xslfo-proc will do things right from scratch (one possible right way, mind you, not the only one). Maybe decisions made, and experience gained, during this process will inform a FOP 2 design. When I have cross-posted, it has been for very specific reasons; either because it was a design issue which is of common interest to both the direction I am taking, and to any design discussion for the problem domain, or because specific things that I am doing map trivially into a C/C++ solution. All that I have posted concerning FObjects.java and FOPropertyConsts.java falls into this latter category. These classes represent a great deal of donkey work in providing useful expressions of the sets of constants which I imagine are absolutely essential to C, at any rate. A few vi or emacs regular expressions will convert them into pure C, and save someone days of effort. I agree. I think that this helps clarify what you are about. I tend to agree that there is a fair amount to be learned from how FOP does things, whether good or bad. As for switching my efforts entirely into xslfo-proc: I would have to learn C++, which I am loathe to do. FOP is my Java training ground, and Java will hopefully allow me to remain in a unix/linux ghetto, forever shunning NT and all its spawn. I'm a terrible bigot when it comes to Microsoft. So I will continue with my attempts to wrestle, for my own satisfaction, some comprehensive and comprehensible design from the spec. Successful or no, I can't see that process being irrelevant to xslfo-proc. And along the way there may be some more bits of multi-cultural code. I don't think it is irrelevant either. You are operating at the high-level design level, where Java or C or C++ is not really an issue. I think the extra input into design is valuable, certainly from the xslfo-proc perspective. I should ask, are you using a UML tool, and if so, which one? If not, it would be nice to get some of your ideas translated into formal concepts. Good thoughts seem to wither away and be ignored if they stay in email. Thanks for the feedback, Arved. What's your work situation like in - where are you? - Nova Scotia? Thank you for asking. :-) The company I worked for ceased operations last week. It disappeared. It closed down. It went away. It shuffled off this mortal coil. c. c.

There was a problem where text outside the root element would cause a null pointer exception. Actually after a second look I think it was due to the stream redner changes. Could you try the current cvs and see if that helps. Thanks Keiron On Thu, 20 Sep 2001 08:46:08 Beer, Christian wrote: Hi Savino, hi Suhail, hi group!

Does render(dom) actually work?
Hello everyone. By any chance can someone point me to some example code which uses render(dom)? No matter what combination of driver methods or Fop versions (.17,.19,.20.1) I use I seem to get the same error: building formatting object tree setting up fonts java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.Hashtable.get(Hashtable.java:320) at org.apache.fop.fo.FOTreeBuilder.startElement(FOTreeBuilder.java:191) at org.apache.fop.tools.DocumentReader.parse(DocumentReader.java:444) at org.apache.fop.apps.Driver.render(Driver.java:449) at FOtoPDF.applyFop(FOtoPDF.java:83) at FOtoPDF.main(FOtoPDF.java:24) Here is the source I'm using under v.0.20.1: org.apache.fop.apps.Driver driver = new org.apache.fop.apps.Driver(); driver.setRenderer(org.apache.fop.apps.Driver.RENDER_PDF); driver.setOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(pdfFilename)); driver.setupDefaultMappings() ; driver.addElementMapping(org.apache.fop.fo.StandardElementMapping); driver.addElementMapping(org.apache.fop.svg.SVGElementMapping); driver.addElementMapping(org.apache.fop.extensions.ExtensionElementMapping ); driver.render(dom); I have tried it with and without any of the mapping methods. I am building the Dom object from a file. The sax input handler created from the same file works fine in render(parser, inputSource). I have read through the dev archives and found a few suggestions but none helped. Is there some configuration I'm missing? Or did this break a long time ago as someone suggested in the archives? I am hoping to use FOP in a major production app, but if I can't solve this I may not be able to. I am currently receiving a DOM object (a small report) from some database access classes. I then perform an XSLT transform which outputs my FO input as another DOM object. I suppose I could pipe the output of that to SAX? I'd really rather not have to do anything klugy like serialize it to a stream and then feed it in as SAX. But I'll consider anything that doesn't cause too much of a performace hit. We definitely don't want to have temp files sitting around, for a host of reasons. Thank you very much for your help.
