strange behaviour: Fop 0.92b, Websphere 6.0.2.0, PARENT_LAST deployment
Hello, we use Fop 0.92b in order to build documents on the fly under a Websphere Application Server 6.0.2.0 We I deploy my application in PARENT_FIRST classpath mode, everything's ok. But if I only change deployement rules of the app to PARENT_LAST classpath mode, I catch exceptions ( you can see them at the end of the mail ). here are the only jar used in the application ( it's a demo Webapp.. ) avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar batik-all-1.6.jar commons-beanutils.jar commons-collections.jar commons-io-1.1.jar commons-lang.jar fop.jar serializer-2.7.0.jar xmlgraphics-commons-1.0.jar Any idea?

Hi All,
Can someone please help me, I have a table with one column that
stretches the width of the page, and inside the table I have paragraphs of
text, the reason why I do this is to keep the paragraph together. When the end
of the line is reached, the overflows onto the next line, is there a way that I
can set the margin between the two lines of text in the cell of the table?
Thanks in advance.

Centering content in Block
I have a block that I am using in the bottom corner of my page. In this I want to display a page number. The block is a square and I would like to center the page number so that if the number of digits increases it stays cenrtal. Here is what I have so far: fo:block border=solid left=0mm margin-right=-25mm margin-top=5mm padding-before=4mm padding-after=10mm margin-left=150mm background-color=#797166 color=#2A2A2A fo:inline border=solid margin-right=3mm font-weight=bold margin-top=10mm color=#ff font-size=14pt fo:page-number padding-start=4.5mm border=solid / /fo:inline /fo:block But this doesn't centre the content.

Re: PDF generation
Hi Remo, you should really try to ask your questions on the docbook-apps [1] mailing list. Those are questions related to XSLT customization rather than transforming the resulting FO into PDF, and that list will be much more suited. You may also want to have a look at the documentation possibly shipped with your DocBook stylesheets: there are lots of parameters to customize the output. If, however, no parameter suits your needs then you will have to write a customization layer above the stylesheets and this requires some XSLT skills. But again, if you ask your questions on the docbook-apps mailing-list you will get useful hints within the hour.

Re: User Types
When I first started using FOP, I was a technical writer (often called technical author in places where they speak the Queen's rather than the President's English). I was fed up with both Word and FrameMaker, so I implemented an XML-based documentation system, which included FOP. I no longer write. Instead, I spend all of my time setting up similar systems for various clients. So, I guess I have been two kinds of users: a technical writer (or technical author, if you prefer) and a consulting developer. I am also aware of companies (Intel, for one) that have developers dedicated to document production (though they also work on authoring tools and content management).

Re: User Types
We use XSL/XSLT for reports and for Docbook. Docbook: Tech Writer creates the XML documents that will be fed through the Docbook stylesheets. Uses Eclipse WTP for this. The developer creates an Ant script that automates all of the tech writer's doc generation and publishing-to-web-server tasks so the writer only needs to know how to call Ant tasks from the script for these chores. (Over time, our tech writer has also learned to modify and add new tasks in.) Docbook Maintenance: Tech Writer enters the documentation changes (after getting information from developers) and republishes them via Ant scripts. XSL/XSLT Reports: Very nice separation of data from presentation chores. Developer first defines the input format of the XML document that will have the report's data. The tech writer creates the stylesheet that will layout the report, usually leveraging previously created stylesheets, and also creates sample XML documents with dummy data for testing the stylesheets. Tech writer also maintains any header stylesheets that will be imported by multiple document stylesheets. Developer creates the SQL, SAX Event generation, etc. that generate the XML document. For a non-programming tech writer, XSLT coding presents a pleasantly not-very-steep but continuous learning curve--simple stuff can be done without any training at all (i.e., change the title in an already existing document from FOO to BAR -- anyone with a text editor can S R on FOO to do this without needing to know a thing about XSLT) with more complex tasks (XSLT templates and functions and the like) gradually added in over time. XSL/XSLT Reports Maintenance: Tech Writer is responsible for making stylesheet/reports look nice and presentation/layout change requests, developer is responsible for bringing in new/different data elements from the SQL, as well as overall maintenance of the web application. The main thing when doing Docbook and XSL/XSLT in production, especially with non-programming employees is: Ant, Ant, Ant! Keep everything automated and defined (classpaths, working directories, web servers to FTP to, etc.) within Ant and outside local IDEs/computer environment variables. (Among other benefits, if some developers prefer this IDE and others another IDE, it won't matter, because everything is configured within the Ant build file.)

Re: User Types
That sounds a lot like what I'm doing for my current client, Glen. I love Ant. Jay Bryant Bryant Communication Services - Original Message - From: Glen Mazza [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 11:50 AM Subject: Re: User Types We use XSL/XSLT for reports and for Docbook. Docbook: Tech Writer creates the XML documents that will be fed through the Docbook stylesheets. Uses Eclipse WTP for this. The developer creates an Ant script that automates all of the tech writer's doc generation and publishing-to-web-server tasks so the writer only needs to know how to call Ant tasks from the script for these chores. (Over time, our tech writer has also learned to modify and add new tasks in.) Docbook Maintenance: Tech Writer enters the documentation changes (after getting information from developers) and republishes them via Ant scripts. XSL/XSLT Reports: Very nice separation of data from presentation chores. Developer first defines the input format of the XML document that will have the report's data. The tech writer creates the stylesheet that will layout the report, usually leveraging previously created stylesheets, and also creates sample XML documents with dummy data for testing the stylesheets. Tech writer also maintains any header stylesheets that will be imported by multiple document stylesheets. Developer creates the SQL, SAX Event generation, etc. that generate the XML document. For a non-programming tech writer, XSLT coding presents a pleasantly not-very-steep but continuous learning curve--simple stuff can be done without any training at all (i.e., change the title in an already existing document from FOO to BAR -- anyone with a text editor can S R on FOO to do this without needing to know a thing about XSLT) with more complex tasks (XSLT templates and functions and the like) gradually added in over time. XSL/XSLT Reports Maintenance: Tech Writer is responsible for making stylesheet/reports look nice and presentation/layout change requests, developer is responsible for bringing in new/different data elements from the SQL, as well as overall maintenance of the web application. The main thing when doing Docbook and XSL/XSLT in production, especially with non-programming employees is: Ant, Ant, Ant! Keep everything automated and defined (classpaths, working directories, web servers to FTP to, etc.) within Ant and outside local IDEs/computer environment variables. (Among other benefits, if some developers prefer this IDE and others another IDE, it won't matter, because everything is configured within the Ant build file.)

Re: out of memory error
Not sure that playing with the page-masters will really help. I don't think they have an influence here. I've just committed a helper XSLT [1] which can split Luis' FO file at page-sequence boundaries. It reveals that one of the page-sequences alone makes up 18MB out of the 23MB of the full FO file. I guess that is what FOP chokes on: Just too much data in one page-sequence and FOP currently cannot free any objects while inside a page-sequence. [1] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=430134view=rev I'd try to find way to further split up that large page-sequence. This should enable FOP to free memory and handle this file with less heap space.

Re: Memory leak? (was: 'Possible' memory leak on fop-users)
Andreas, I ran my test cases against fop-trunk as of 08/03 and am seeing a very good boost in performance. I profiled against the same test case that produced loitering objects in fop 0.92beta, and did NOT find any loitering objects with the trunk code. The memory usage also seems to be very stable and I see more frequent garbage collections than it used to be in 0.92beta. Overall, the process seem to use less memory than before. Below are some comparisons from my test environment : Total pages processed : 12000 approx (split up as 1500 pages per pdf in a loop) 1. Memory usage : FOP 0.92beta started of with 500MB and went all the way upto 1.2 GB easily and JVM crashed after processing 5000 pages approx. The latest version used upto a max of 750 MB (from 500 MB initial) and never went beyond that. 2. Processing Time : 0.92 beta slowed down gradually from 4 minutes per 1500 page pdf to 15 min, when finally the JVM crashed. But the latest code took consistently 3-4 min to produce 1500 pages. I'm not sure if the above comparison makes sense to anyone, but I just wanted to report for comparisons sake. Overall the performance is been good so far and I'll keep profiling the process to look for any red flags. Let me know, if you want to track any other details.

Indentation not propagated...
If one uses start-indent=3mm end-indent=3mm in the fo:region-body, those attributes are ignored by all the content placed in the section, when i presume, they should be propagated as default indentation for all child containers of it... Ok... to sum up... there is no way of defining a bleed with a tinted page... 1. placing a background color on the page definition is ignored and not painted (so no default tinting of the whole page); 2. is not possible to add padding in the body region (so, one can't define a body that covers the whole page BUT that its content actually only use part of it); 3. placing indentation for the content of the body is ignored (equivalent of point 2); 4. the region-start and region-end overlap the region-before and region-after (and don't accept either the margin-top attribute - they ignore it). So... it is impossible to make a conditional definition of pages that need to have a background color painted... (unless there is any other way of doing it that i can't think of at the moment...).
