RE: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tool s propose
Our product (Cetova Financial Analysis Reporting - www.cetova.com) uses FOP (embedded) for PDF generation.

More needs to be written on how to use Cocoon and FOP as a true report writer. Any help would be great. I'm currently working with Corda in hopes that they will change the SVG format to inlining so that it can be easy used with FOP. If any of you would like to talk to them about this that would be great.

I think this is crucial. I found nothing of the sort. There was recently an announcement on the cocoon list that a major NASA site (KSC, i believe) is being redesigned using Cocoon 2 (includes FOP) and will going online soon. Perhaps some details regarding FOP usage there could be asked for. Apart from this, for my job I found XSLFO superior to the various proprietary reporting tools (rather expensive stuff). It's just me, though. J.Pietschmann
RE: How to use vertical-align=middle in a table
Did you try display-align? Brian -Original Message- From: David Calles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 10:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to use vertical-align=middle in a table Hi, I have a table and with FOP, I try to make a vertical alignement of the text Although the sintaxis is accepted by FOP, the text is not vertically centerd on the cell. I have tried to put the vertical-align=iddle in the fo:table, in the fo:table-row and in the fo:table-cell and it is always the same. I don't specify the height of the cell, and it is dinamically adjusted because of the length of the text. Is that an inconvenient to center the text ? Thank you a lot.
FOP and SAX
I'm trying to take an XML document, combine it with an XSL stylesheet, and spit it to PDF using SAX events, and I'm having trouble finding an example that works. Here's my code (using Fop 0.20.3): TransformerHandler tHandler = XSLTranslateFactory. getHandler(FopInput.xsl) ; // gets TransformerHandler from this file Driver fopDriver = new Driver() ; fopDriver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF) ; fopDriver.setOutputStream(out) ; ContentHandler cHandler = driver.getContentHandler() ; XMLReader reader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader() ; reader.setContentHandler(tHandler) ; reader.setProperty(http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler;, tHandler) ; tHandler.setResult(new SAXResult(cHandler)) ; reader.parse(source) ; Any ideas? Thanks, Brian
Omitting content length
Ignore the question below - it works (if anyone needs SAX example, this is decent). It looks like what is happening is that I was writing this directly to a servlet's outputstream, so I never set the content length header. This made IE puke, although Lynx caught it ok. I've read through the threads about how IE handles content length header and requests the document twice. Is there any alternative to writing to a byte array to calculate the length before rewriting to the servlet's output stream? I'd like to avoid the memory consequences.

RE: Re mail-to
Is there any chance that the typo in address is causing you to generate the link mailto:;, which the browser then tries to turn into a valid http: url?

Re: Options
So I can call options once (at application start) and it will affect all transformations thereafter? That's nice, as I think I was calling this every transformation.

Well, the documentation might be misleading. You don't have to plug in anything, because new Options... uses static stuff in the background. So, just do new Options somewhere before your call to FOP and it should work.

HTTP Redirect, Mime Type, and IE
Title: Message I apologize if this has already been answered.. I've looked around and can't find anything that works. I have a servlet, coming through Tomcat, that spits out PDF using FOP. So far so good. However, it requires the user to login first. If the user isn't logged in, it redirects the user to an HTML page. If I login, go to the page and generate a PDF file, then things are fine. Up pops Acrobat. If I then restart Tomcat to zap the session, and hit refresh, I see the redirect happen on the server side, but IE pops up with an error. Itjust showsa little broken image picture. I can do a view source, and I see htmlbody leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 scroll=no embed width=100% height=100% fullscreen=yes src="">http://192.168.1.1/servlet/blah?blah=20"/body/html Any ideas on what's happening here? I was speculating that it was ignoring the redirect, since I don't see the second request come into Tomcat. So what's the deal? Thanks in advance, Brian
