[David Gagnon]

Hi all,



  I was looking for a
good example as well those pdf are impressive.  I was wondering if the .fo and
.xml regarding those examples have been posted somewhere?  I looked into the
bug database and haven`t found them are they available?



Thanks for your help!!

Unfortunately,
I get an error when I try to view those links: 

HTTP Error 403.6 -
Forbidden: IP address of the client has been rejected.

That was really awkward, and not what I intended.

The URLs should work by now. Sorry about
that.

Here they are again:

http://dev.oslokb.no:8080/dennis/Sample3.pdf




BTW I have
a couple of questions: 

- if we
like what we see (I get an error--see below), can we post this example PDF? 

- if we
like what we see (I get an error--see below), can we post the input files
(XSL-FO, XML, XSLT, etc.)?

Of course you
are free to do that.





Perhaps
after you've participated in the FOP community for some time, and your name
becomes familiar to us (and hopefully made some contributions to the code!
:-p) you may be invited to become a committer for Apache FOP!

I will do my
best to get there!





Maybe I could
implement support for CMYK and Spot colors to get started, if this is of
interest to you.

Wouldnt
this be cool?:

fo:block
color=spot(PANTONE 1205 C, 1.0)Hello
FOP/fo:block

FOP, JSP, TOMCAT, IE .. How to make it works!!! Please help!!

[David Gagnon]

Hi All,



 Im on known problem for a while. I
searched all around the web but havent found an answer that matches my
requirement.

Its not directly a problem with FOP but rather
a problem on own to make FOP works on tomcat.



Il read all the stuff that explain how to make FOP
works with IE in a servlet an its works. But thats not enough
for the need of my application. So I want to know: 



-Is there a way I can have the PDF displayed on the
browser as its generated on the server. Let say I start to generate
a 1 pages document; I want the document to appear in the browser window as
soon as possible. This way the user can start reading the document while
the server finishes it. More, if the user closes the window while
the server generates the document. Is there a way to stop the processing
on the server?



I want to have the smallest delay possible between
the time the user click the button on is browser an the time he gets the 1st
page displayed in the browser.



I want a way, if possible, to stop the processing of
a report that have been launched from a Window that have been closed.





I read stuff about using chunked transfer-coding. Is that works? Any idea if I can found an example somewhere.I need to support IE6 and Firefox.Any help will be appreciated since I browsed all the web and I havent found something relevant.Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!!/David

You mean a sort of streaming? Well, PDF isn't a formate well suited
for this (in contrast to HTML, sans tables without colspecs), because
there is an object directory in the PDF and FOP writes it at the end
of the stream, as well as embedded fonts and the likes. It should be
possible to get the PDF renderer pop up immediately in a non-IEx
browser, but I suspect it would only show a blank page until the
whole content is generated and downloaded. 


That's what I got when I tried yesterday .. On Firefox the plug-in starts
but nothing have been displayed until the end :-(


That's a really bad limitation!

Thanks for your help!!

/David
