reading fo tags from database and using within xsl dynamically
Hi, We need to read it a value dynamically from the database. and this value contains fop tags such as fo:block blah blah blah /fo:block fo:block blah blah this is the second block /fo:block Is there any way to display that within the xsl (this xsl contains other fop tags too)? We tried following xsl:template match=DISCLAIMER xsl:value-of select=./ /xsl:template we also tried and xsl:copy-of and disable-output-escaping=yes... but none of them works...

FOP servlet is called multiple times!!
Title: FOP servlet is called multiple times!! How would we trouble shoot this? We never saw this happening until we rolled out our app to the production, which uses https. And it does not happen consistently!! Help!! We see this on FOP FAQ, and the second bullet point says we should not set any headers - we are not setting anything unusual - except below. response.setContentType( CONTENT_TYPE_PDF ); // where CONTENT_TYPE_PDF is application/pdf response.setHeader( Content-Disposition, attachment; filename= + reportTag + _ + FormatterUtils.formatDate( gCal.getTime(), FormatterUtils.dMMM ) 7.1. The FOP servlet is called multiple times!^ This is a problem of Internet Explorer requesting the content several times. Some suggestions: Use an URL ending in .pdf, like http://myserver/servlet/stuff.pdf. Yes, the servlet can be configured to handle this. If the URL has to contain parameters, try to have both the base URL as well as the last parameter end in .pdf, if necessary append a dummy parameter, like http://myserver/servlet/stuff.pdf?par1=apar2=bd=.pdf. The effect may depend on IEx version. Give IEx the opportunity to cache. In particular, ensure the server does not set any headers causing IEx not to cache the content. This may be a real problem if the document is sent over HTTPS. Consult your server manual. Cache in the server. Including a parameter in the URL which has a timestamp as the value may help you to decide whether a request is repeated. IEx is reported to retrieve a document up to three times, but never more often. - what does it mean/
repeat fo:table-row on a new page?
Hello - I have a long table that spans over a number of pages. I have a fo:table-header repeat over multiple pages - using table-omit-header-at-break=false I have some sub column titles in fo:table-rowfo:table-cell /fo:table-row/fo:table-cell that need to be also repeated on a new page. How would I repeat them? Thanks IL - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
fo:block on a new page
I have some fo:block(s) that need to start on a new page... However I like to make an exception for the first fo:block so that I don't get the first blank page...

quick question on aligning table in region-body
How would I center the whole table?

proxyServlet - delegating work
Title: proxyServlet - delegating work Hello, This is more like a servlet question, could you please help? We decided to designate another tomcat instance for PDF/FOP processing. In tomcat servlet container we do something like Driver driver = new Driver(); Logger log = new ConsoleLogger( ConsoleLogger.LEVEL_INFO ); MessageHandler.setScreenLogger( log ); driver.setLogger( log ); driver.setRenderer( Driver.RENDER_PDF ); driver.setOutputStream( response.getOutputStream()) transformer.transform( inXML, new SAXResult( driver.getContentHandler())); and from the proxy servlet from the main server, we call PDF/FOP servlet by URL url = "" URL(http,myserver.com,8881,/sp/xmlReport? + urlParams ); BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( url.openStream())); String line; while( ( line = in.readLine()) != null ) out.println( line ); out.flush(); This approach works well with html/excel XSL/XSLT, but not with pdf/FOP What would I need to tweak in proxy servlet to get this to work? Thanks for any suggestion or help!

FOP performance - frustrating.. help!!
Hello, I'm getting a little frustrated with FOP performance. We are generating an XML on the fly that contains a few tables with about 1,000 rows in total. We passdown this XML along with XSL to the transformer to generate PDF from our servlet. (transformer.transform( inXML, new SAXResult( driver.getContentHandler())); ) It works well, but it works slow. It takes about 5 minutes for 1,000 rows and this is only for transformer translation (excluing any data query time or jdom XML building time) I read through past emails/FAQs and I think I tried them all and it still does not improve the performance... Please help!! Here is what I have done. 1) run with more memory - yes I tried with 512MB (I don't get OutOfMemory error) 2) run in separate VM - only helps other requests coming to the site 3) try with the latest FOP - I did - mine is fop-0.20.4 4) try with the latest xalan.jar and xerces.jar - tried them, but no improvement 5) cache XSL style sheet - didn't really help... 6) use multiple page-sequence - got it to work and I don't get OutOfMemeory exception, but still performance didn't get better. (even if I break them into multiple page-sequences, I will still have to read through one row at a time, right? - that's why performance is not really improving..) 7) no forward-reference - I don't have any page numbers 8) try with new JDK - trying with JDK 1.3 9) seralize servlet request - haven't done this, but I doubt this will have any performance impact (I'm testing with one request for now) 10) no images - I don't have any... 11) Don't make the XML tree too deep - mine is very flat with 2 levels deep. I have 1,000 rows and each row looks something like following in XML ROW TA_FUND_CODE539/TA_FUND_CODE LONG_NAMESome Fund/LONG_NAME DAILY_FACTOR0.376/DAILY_FACTOR SHORT_RATE_365NA/SHORT_RATE_365 LONG_RATE_365NA/LONG_RATE_365 RATE_360NA/RATE_360 CURR_7_DAY_YIELDNA/CURR_7_DAY_YIELD SEVEN_DAY_EFF_YIELD1.4/SEVEN_DAY_EFF_YIELD AVG_30_DAY_RATE1.58000/AVG_30_DAY_RATE PRICE1./PRICE RATE_DATE09 Dec 2002/RATE_DATE CURRENCYUSD/CURRENCY STATUSI/STATUS /ROW Here is the question: Is this normal to take this long - 5 minutes - to produce a few tables with combined total 1,000 rows (about 30 pages)?
