Believe me, I've stress tested my report server and hit this wall quickly. However, if you write your server to only run X number of reports at once and queue any other requests until other reports are finished, you can avoid those problems and achieve a robust and stable FOP server. At that point, adding more servers can get you better scalability.

We've had to limit the management reports to about 2000 rows (~50 page PDF) because of FOP's memory issues w/large PDFs. Also I worry about serious slowdown if we ever get 3 or 4 users on the same instance of the app server all running a decent sized PDF at once. Does anyone know if wrapping FOP in a session bean would allow me to distribute processing around to unused servers or otherwise handle the java.lang.outOfMemoryError better? (We're on Weblogic 6.1) I compared FOP to RenderX from XEP. RenderX was the only solution that really mathces FOP's profile (XSL:FO based, java-based or at least platform neutral, no extra servers to run or programs to install - if there are any more out there, please post). For the report I was running, FOP was about 10 times faster than RenderX. But from most accounts performance between the two should similar. I figure there must be something particular about my stylesheet that RenderX didn't like. So I called XEP to see what kind of support my interest in purchasing their $5k/cpu product might garner. They weren't very helpful but did say they were insanely busy. I have a feeling if you could come up with a high-performing commerical all Java FO-PDF engine, you'd be very rich very quick.

support for PS printer-specific options using PPDs
I currently use PJ for PDF output from a homegrown customer/member management system, built on JBoss/Postgresql/etc. There are two basic uses for the PDF output: 1) letters that use standard fonts to produce a mail merged PDF form letter - starting with a blank PDF document and text grabbed from client database 2) forms that fill in PDF form template with fields from client database - this was accomplished using jakarta-ORO and string substitution - we use several fonts, including a barcode font, on the writable areas of these forms. I'm thinking of moving to iText or FOP for #1, but there's one particular problem that I can't seem to solve. When the client prints letters, they always want the first page to print on letterhead paper and the second and following pages to print on plain paper. With PS, you have the ability to set printer-specific options like paper-tray/type, but PDF doesn't have this capability as far as I know (I've read both specs pretty carefully). Unfortunately, it's not a clean switch trays every page situation, because some letters end up 3 pages rather than 2 (longer address, extra paragraph, etc.). So there's no way to render PDF ---ghostscript-PS, adding change trays every page to the PS at the end. In other words, I have to add the use tray x flag at the time of rendering, which means I must render to PS rather than PDF. Ideally, I would be able to use FOP and grab the proper use tray x flag from the PPD for the HP printer I'm using - I've even looked at a Canon machine called the imageRunner 5000 that allows you to set flags for switching trays, stapling, and folding (which would be nice for 1000+ person mailings). From checking the main fop page and the fop-dev archive, it seems that PS output in general, and any PPD capability specifically, is pretty far off. From what I can tell, renderX doesn't have PPD features either. Does anyone have any other ideas? Nathan
Re: support for PS printer-specific options using PPDs
Jeremias, Thanks for your thoughtful response. Jeremias Maerki wrote: Being the one who wrote the PS renderer in the first place, I can comment on a few things: - The PS renderer, as it is now, is more of a proof of concept, than anything else. Some people are using it productively, though. - As you gathered, there are a few things that still need to be done. Here's the todo list from the PSRenderer's javadocs: Character size/spacing, configuration, move to PrintRenderer, maybe improve filters (I'm not very proud of them), add a RunLengthEncode filter (useful for Level 2 Postscript), Improve DocumentProcessColors stuff (probably needs to be configurable, then maybe add a color to grayscale conversion for bitmaps to make output smaller (See PCLRenderer), font embedding, support different character encodings, try to implement image transparency, positioning of images is wrong etc. And of course, there's the missing PPD functionality. I'll spend some time looking at the code today or tomorrow - I'm assuming that I should look in CVS, and that there is not any wholesale rewrite of at least the PS renderer portion going on outside of CVS (I saw some confusion about outside of CVS rewrites on the fop-dev list). - There's also another problem: XSL:FO does not provide any means to specify things like tray selection. These will have to be proprietary solutions. And that means some work as well. What's important here is to have mechanisms that can be reused for PCL later. Hmm. I was thinking this morning that it would be ideal to make it fully configurable by the client, so that I'm not changing code every time they buy a new printer. What would be ideal is to have some sort of web-based strict equivalent to GPR (http://www.compumetric.com/linux.html ) or XPP ( http://cups.sourceforge.net/xpp/ ) that would allow me to set paper tray, stapling, and folding on a per-document (per-letter) level. Is there a PCL equivalent of PPD, or would this have to be built separately for PS and PCL? (Uggh - this is beginning to sound like a big project). At present, we're using PJ to concatenate PDF documents (so that the client can print out hundreds of letters in one print job, a critical usability feature). With the system from the preceding paragraph in place, I could just concatenate PostScript letter that had already been generated with the proper tray/staple/fold settings (which may or may not work very well given our experience below). [[Side Note: At present, we're having plenty of problems using PJ to concatenate PDF document. In addition to the letters and forms PDF documents mentioned in my original posting, there are two sources of PDF documents that we sometimes integrate into the print stream - 1) a document scanning system that produces TIFF, that we then convert to PDF using ImageMagick/Ghostscript 2) Word documents that we convert to PDF using Abiword ( http://www.abiword.org ) and Ghostscript. We've determined that the concatenation problems are from poor conversion of Word--PDF, so we're hoping to move to OpenOffice or activePDF for this conversion in the not-too-distanct future ]] - Conclusion: Any help is welcome! (Because I haven't got the time yet, to do it. At least, it's on my todo list, because we're currently working with the PDF renderer, then using Acrobat Reader to produce PostScript, which is finally patched with code for tray selection and OMR marks. And this is a suboptimal solution especially since the Acrobat Reader takes between 20 to 50 percent of processing time for a job.) This is something you're doing for a client/production system? Is there any way I could look at the code for tray selection and OMR marks that you mention? I'm in New York, not a competitor next door in Germany :) ( the gmx email is probably confusing).

Hi, I am having problems with external svg files in my fo file when generating PDFs using FopServlet. I am using fop-0.20.3 specifically, I have these refs to external graphics in my fo file. This works: fo:block fo:external-graphic src=file:C:\Progra~1\Allaire\JRun\servers\default\default-app \WEB-INF\class es\generatedjpg.jpg/ /fo:block This doesn't workgeneratedsvg.svg is in the same directory as generatedjpg.jpg. the resulting pdf has a blank space where the svg should be. fo:block fo:external
write servlet response to a pdf file rather than send it to brows er?
Hi,
Here is the code I am trying to use for accompleshing the task of sending
the servlet response to a pdf file instead of the browser.
I am not very experienced with java and the code I have added is marked
below.
public void renderFO(InputSource foFile,HttpServletResponse
response) throws ServletException {
try {
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
response.setContentType(application/pdf);
Driver driver = new Driver(foFile, out);
driver.setLogger(log);
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
driver.run();
**ADDED Start
File file = new File(my.pdf);
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
baos.writeTo(fo);
**ADDED End
byte[] content = out.toByteArray();
response.setContentLength(content.length);
response.getOutputStream().write(content);
response.getOutputStream().flush();
} catch (Exception ex) {
throw new ServletException(ex);
}
}
When I try to compile FopServlet, I get...
FopServlettest.java:101: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : constructor FileOutputStream ()
location: class java.io.FileOutputStream
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream();
any help would be great!
thanks,
Will Carter
