RE: Page Sequence Master
Kumar Puppala wrote: Thanks Victor for your response. So did you have any alternate approaches to resolve this issue in your application? That depends on what you mean by performance issue. If you have plenty of memory, I don't think your performance speed will be adversely affected by using one page-sequence. If you are running out of memory, probably your least-expensive, quickest-to-implement solution is to run on a machine with more memory. AFAIK, the commercial implementations use more memory than FOP, but that may have changed. Several releases ago, FOP needed to have the entire document in memory, not just one page sequence. So the current state is a vast improvement over that. One of the stated goals for FOP is to be able to process page-sequences of arbitrary size, i.e. limited only by disk space instead of memory. There have been pretty heated discussions among the developers about how best to do this. The trick of course is to come up with a /general/ solution that works or can be made to work for all cases posed. The constraints are significant. Consider the example of a table with auto layout that is 1000 (or 50,000) pages long. You need to know what is going on at both ends of that table to do the auto layout. IIUC, the three rewrite efforts underway each use a different approach, and I don't think any of them are yet complete, so it will be interesting to see what possibilities develop. I wish I had a better answer for you. Your second-best option (see recommended option above) is probably to pick one of the rewrite efforts support it.

Re: Page sequence error
This doesn't seem to correspond to your exception, but you should probably move your fo:flow before you call your ccjob template. Otherwise you create a new flow each time you get another ccjob.

RE: page sequence of different last page and rest pages
Right now (unless someone snuck it in) last as a value for page-position is not implemented. The reason is, it's not so easy to do for the general case. For example, you can fairly easily imagine simple-page-masters for rest and last that put the processor into an infinite loop if the strategy is to redo the last page of content with last when the end of flow is detected when laying out with rest. So the algorithm needs be more sophisticated. Keiron and Karen's rewrite may give us more options to look ahead and make it easier to handle this situation. Hope this explains what's going on. Sorry I couldn't tell you that the feature exists.

Re: Page Sequence Question
Lars, I believe you use fo:table table-omit-footer-at-break=true and then define the footer within fo:table:footer If you want to extend the footer across the whole page (So its not just a column footer) then you use fo:table-cell number-columns-spanned=the number of columns in the table Lars Karschen wrote: Hi, I've got a question concerning page-sequences. I tried to create a sequence of pages, which all have a header on top of the page and no footer. The flow content is a table. Once all information on the table is displayed, the last page should close with a footer, summarizing the table contents. The problem is, the footer should be on the last page with the last data of the table if there is still enough space left, and it shouldn't be the only region beginning a new page if possible. Is there any way to do it via page-sequences? regards, Lars Karschen
