Re: supported image formats
Hi, thanks for the great feedback. It seems to me that the image formats supported by Jimi are not all supported by fop (0.20.4). Fop with some help from Jimi and Batik supports bmp, eps, jpeg, png, svg, tiff (there are *ImageReader.class files for the types implemented in the package org.apache.fop.image.analyser). With ANY other image format, which is supported by Jimi (e.g. pcx, tga), I get a this Error: [Error] Could not load external SVG: Content is not allowed in prolog. [Error] Error while creating area : No ImageReader for this type of image (file:/C:/xsl/fop-0.20.4/logo_schwarz.TGA) Did anybody included a image in one of this formats: dib, ddb, pict, psd, Sun Raster, TGA, XBM, XPM, ICO, CUR, PCX??? -- Thanks for any feedback Markus Schäffler -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.

That's not quite correct, we run a variety of WebSphere 3.5 on AIX 4.3.x using both IBM JDK 1.3.0 and 1.3.1. Both the 1.3.0 JDK and WebSphere itself need some patches, and unhandled exceptions create memory leaks, so you'd better catch everything in a production environment.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When you look at the source code in the packages org.apache.fop.image and org.apache.fop.image.analyser you will see *image.java and *reader.java classes for the above image formats. There has been in fop 0.18.1 a JAI and a Jimi class in the package org.apache.fop.image. Who could tell me why these classes doesnt exist any more? Has the functionality of these classes been moved to another place? They are still there. Take a look at src/org/apache/fop/image directory. But now they are included in fop.jar conditionally during building process based on the presence of JAI/Jimi classes in the classpath. Some emails in the archive state that Java Advanced Imaging (JAI, http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/) could be used to handle more image formats, but is not distributed with fop because of license reasons. I had a closer look at it, but I dont know how to make it accessible to fop. Could somebody give me a hint? I believe you have to have javax.media.jai.JAI class in the classpath (that's how build script understands there is JAI installed) and then you have to rebuild fop. FOP only needs the second bit, which has been made part of the jdk in version 1.4! It is in the package javax.imageio That's great, but we have to be jdk1.3 (or even 1.2) compatible. e.g. I use fop in a production under Websphere 3.5, which has ibm jsk 1.2.2 and jdk there btw is unupgradable. -- Oleg Tkachenko eXperanto team Multiconn Technologies, Israel - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: supported image formats
comments below From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] FOP only needs the second bit, which has been made part of the jdk in version 1.4! It is in the package javax.imageio (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/javax/imageio/package-summary.html) Im quite sure the package javax.imageio could be used to add support for additional image formats. What do the Java-Gurus say about this? It would be bad to use something thats specific to JDK 1.4, because that would prevent users of older JDKs from running FOP. Whilst, on Windows it may be reasonably straight forward to upgrade the JDK/JRE, on some Hardware platforms, only older JDKs are available, and/or the upgrade path can sometimes be very complicated (i.e. applying many OS patches in specific order etc) Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. -- Thanks Markus Schäffler -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
