fo:table margin-left/padding-before not working with RTF
Hello, I'm using FOP 0.95-1. In my RTF document I would like to pad an entire fo:table one inch to the right. If I apply margin-left to the fo:table tag, it ends up padding not only the table (good) but every cell within the table's body (bad)--they also get moved off to the right within their cells. (I'm not seeing this problem with PDF generation, margin-left is properly not being inherited by child fo:table-cells.) Is wrongful inheritance of the margin-xxx properties within RTF generation a known issue? I can enter a JIRA bug if helpful. If I try padding-before instead of margin-left, FOP complains that this property must be ignored given that I'm using the default border-collapse=collapsed property; if I switch to the border-collapse=separate, the error goes away but nothing moves off to the right. So in the meantime, anyone know how I can move a table in a document one inch to the right with the RTF renderer?

Re: Problem using attributes with xsl:value-of select=/
I could use assistance here. Given an xml such as:
report reportId=123
animalcat/animal
/report
My embedded FOP transformation is handling elements but not attributes.
Here is the code as a Nabble attachment:
http://old.nabble.com/file/p26489602/attributetest.zip attributetest.zip --
if you have Maven on your machine, mvn clean install exec:exec will
quickly and easily show the problem. Here is the code within the
attachment:
public class AttributeTest {
private void run() {
try {
// works fine -- both animal element and reportId attribute in pdf
URL fileURL = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(attr.xml);
Source rptSource = new StreamSource(fileURL.toString());
OutputStream outStream = new
java.io.FileOutputStream(1pdfdirect.pdf);
FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();
Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, outStream);
Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());
URL stylesheetURL =
getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(AttributeTest.xsl);
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer t = factory.newTransformer(new
StreamSource(stylesheetURL.toString()));
t.transform(rptSource, res);
outStream.close();
// does not work -- has animal element but not reportId attribute
in pdf
Source rptSource2 = new SAXSource(new ReportXMLBuilder(), new
EmptyInputSource());
OutputStream outStream2 = new
java.io.FileOutputStream(2pdfViaReader.pdf);
Fop fop2 = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, outStream2);
Result res2 = new SAXResult(fop2.getDefaultHandler());
t.transform(rptSource2, res2);
outStream2.close();
// but oddly, this *does* work -- keeps reportId attribute
Source rptSource3 = new SAXSource(new ReportXMLBuilder(), new
EmptyInputSource());
Transformer t2 = factory.newTransformer();
Result res3 = new StreamResult(3xmloutput.xml); // has reportId
attribute
t2.transform(rptSource3, res3);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace(System.out);
}
}
// AbstractXMLBuilder is here: http://tinyurl.com/ye4c39h
public static class ReportXMLBuilder extends AbstractXMLBuilder {
public void parse(InputSource input) throws IOException, SAXException

}
Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Onur, I converted a FOP-based web app from Tomcat to Oracle App Server a few months back. Yes, you will need to switch to the Apache XML libraries, but you will also probably need to temporarily activate OAS classloader logging to try to figure out what the loading problem is (the application doesn't start problem you mentioned above.)

If this doesn't work, and you're desperate, another piece of advice I can offer is to *greatly* simplify your webapp--deploy a skeleton of it--and incrementally put more into it, using process of elimination to determine at what point the webapp fails.

Yes. Learning XSLT (like Ant) is Time Very Well Spent.
But since there are FO DOM nodes internally in FOP, it seems to me to be a
natural alternative to create these nodes directly instead of going via XML +
XSLT.
I placed in such an example a few years back into our

quite hideous, but here it is: [1]. (Unfortunately, with the switch of

See above, but really look at these examples[2] for the XSLT SAX-based

Re: How to get the text be flowed to the next column
Susanta, I think you're a victim of your earlier thread-hijacking, check this post: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-userm=115812992904817w=2 Basically, I believe the reason why you are using tables is because XSL 1.0 does not provided the advanced layout functionality you want with respect to regions and page flow (because it just has fo:simple-page-master), so you are hoping to accomplish with tables what you can't do with pages/regions. Problem is, if the XSL Working group would have defined this layout for tables (which would be an odd use case here), they would probably have first done it for pages/regions anyway. The fo:flow-map/multiple fo:flow of XSL 1.1 (not yet implemented in FOP) might help you, as the link above states; in addition, I think the XSL WG will eventually create an fo:page-master that will also have the advanced layout missing from fo:simple-page-master.

Re: formatting tables

If I try to do so, nothing happens. I always have to set these attributes in the individual cells of the table, which I find a bit tedious and fumbly. Speaking generally, if there are properties that are not working row- or column-level in FOP, requiring tedious cell-level usage, sometimes a solution is to rely on XSLT to simplify your work. Two options are XSLT attribute sets and calling templates.

Re: PDF Destinations
I would prefer avoiding the use of fox:destination, as the XSL WG did not see a need for a separate FO for this when they placed bookmarks into 1.1. Instead, I think it would be better to implement it the way the commercial processors handle them, which is I believe is relying either on the id on the element to be anchored or another property [1][2][3]. Relying on a property instead of a new FO would probably be easier/cleaner than introducing fox:destination back to the source code anyway, as there would be no XSL document validation issues to be checking for.

Would you prefer the whole chunk of text to be deferred on the following page? - would you expect a side-float being split on several pages? - would you expect different layouts, depending on whether a set of side-floats would be placed on the middle of a page or at the bottom (thus, with some of them on the current page and the others on the following page)?

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.) The second most important thing is CVS/SVN, CVS/SVN, CVS/SVN! Eclipse makes it easy to immediately commit new changes.

Re: XSL Optimization
[Happy Independence Day fellow Americans!] Manuel Mall wrote: Looking at the stylesheet you seem to simply generate a table. IMO if this is all you want to do FOP may not be the best tool for the task at hand. For example storing your test results in a database and using a report writer may be a much better fit to your needs. The strength of FOP is NOT in the generation of hundreds of pages of identically structured tabular data. FOP is actually fairly inefficient at doing that. While FOP may indeed not be optimized or designed to handle generating the telephone book of a large city, I think we should stress that this is not necessarily a limitation of XSL or XSLT. XSL and XSLT combined still offer incredible power in allowing you to implement the Don't Repeat Yourself principle--common headers and footers and formatting rules, etc., that normally would have to be defined and maintained individually within each report using a traditional report writer can be stored and maintained in just one place. As the number of reports increases, the maintenance savings from using xsl:import, xsl:include, xsl:call-template, etc., grows exponentially over reporting tools that generate must-be-maintained-individually reports. So I personally would be more inclined to (1) make sure the user really needs a report as large as the one they are generating (most people won't read 1000-page reports anyway, for example) and, if so, (2) first refer the user to a commercial XSL FO processor if they are doing something beyond FOP's capabilities, not to a manual WYSIWYG-like 4GL report generator.

This means we have a choice to either test every one of those characters, or let the 'error' slip through, possibly with a warning. Depending on the context, I can imagine users not being very happy if FOP were to be unconditionally strict here... [suppose i-f-o is on one of the last pages of a 250 page document :-/] I don't think that whitespace-only nodes are being created by FOP anyway, if the whitespace just exists between two consecutive opening tags. So this problem may not be occuring for the user as it is. soapboxBut it is a common misperception[2] that strict validation is mean and cold-hearted, when in fact is it saves people from submitting erroneously built documents/invoices. Just a warning means that the user is required to scroll through the log output of every document generation, just to make sure that the document FOP produced is valid, and if they fail to do that, then they may submit an incorrect document or invoice. For every hacker irritated by strict validation, two or three are probably saved by it--especially billing invoices, where you almost certainly would want to halt if you had an XSLT error which would otherwise cause an invalid invoice to be created./soapbox Thankfully FOP has both a strict and non-strict version to suit either preference. Human nature being what it is though, most who clamor for the latter, as soon as it is provided to them, start using the former anyway.

PDF documents. Nothing is sent to the proxy/client until the PDF
document is finished (would have to be, if only to solve the Page 1 of

completely oblivious to the fact that the PDF contains JPEGs within it
when it receives the application/pdf stream.
No problem whatsoever with the rest of what you're saying, just this
premise.

My previous post supported Jeremias 'simple' fix whereby each chart be
given a different URI (PATH, name, etc.)--even if the difference is just
'dummy' text. I still believe this is the case.
While you can set special caching parameters on the server end (such as
described by Jeroen above), unless there is a change in the
URI/PATH/Filename, there are other places where the file might be cached
(thereby negating any 'NEVER CACHE THIS RESOURCE' settings).

Glen In my experience (mainly coming from a background where the user- agent tends to be a web browser), if you call the same thing twice, there are a number of places where the object being served can be 'cached': - server - proxy - client Oh. My interpretation of the problem was that a different PDF document *was* indeed being returned each time, but that the charts within the PDF document were incorrectly not being regenerated to account for the new data specific to each document. If my assumption was the case, that would tend to rule out caching at the client or the proxy, because AFAIK they would just have a PDF document to cache (not inner parts, such a graphics within the PDF). But if it is the case that the *same* PDF document is being sent each time to the browser, then yes, the caching may be at the client or proxy-level, and the URL modifying may be necessary. Glen In some cases, the server itself also might have some sort of 'caching' system as well, which is external to the server. If someone is calling a cacheable resource, I've found it safest to somehow modify the name (even slightly) to ensure there's no caching involved. IMO, this alleviates the potential of cacheability (making words up can be fun!).

The JVM is, after all, already compiled into an executable that the server can run.

Ross Nicholls wrote: Hi there, Maybe this is an easy one, in which case I apologise! I have an alternating page sequence that simply switches the left and right hand margins (for binding). However, I also need the header (a 2 cell table placed in xsl-region-before) to be mirrored on alternating pages. i.e. The 2 cells consist of a logo image on the left and a heading text block on the right. This is correct for Left-hand (Odd) pages, but needs to be the other way round for Right-hand pages (Even) - so that the logo is always on the outside edge. Does anyone have any ideas how to achieve this? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Ross Oh, this is a fun problem. I think you want to define two fo:static-contents in the fo:page-sequence, with different flow-names--given them the values of region-before-left and region-before-right or similar. Within these two fo:static-contents define the different header layouts desired. Next, create two fo:simple-page-masters, identical in every way except they have a different region-name property for the fo:region-before. One's region-name is called region-before-left and the other region-before-right. Finally, create an fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives, with different odd-or-even properties, as here[1]. Have the odd one reference the fo:s-p-m with a region-body w/region-name of region-before-right, and the even one reference the fo:s-p-m with region-before-left. This will result in the fo:static-content with flow-name of r-b-r being ignored on even pages (and hence not rendered), and the one with r-b-l being ignored on odd ones. Or something like that. ;-) Glen [1] http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/examples/fo/pagination/franklin_alt.fo?rev=197515view=markup - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: RTF output
I wonder if setting the margins on the fo:region-body (instead of the fo:external-graphic) would also have solved this. The example you gave had an empty fo:region-body/ without dimensions, but you may have been just abbreviating the sample by removing those dimensions.

Jeremias Maerki wrote: XSL 1.0, 6.4.19, fo:static-content says: http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice6.html#fo_static-content Contents: (%block;)+ So you must at least have one block as a child for fo:static-content (It can be empty). The redesigned FOP is much more strict about the interpretation of the specification. The reason why XSL is strict about this is to guard against XSLT errors--i.e., a erroneously un-activated XSLT template causing your fo:static-content element to be empty on (say) page 240, and you not knowing that because your XSL processor silently kept running (or just giving a warning message among several screens of other output.)

Re: more than one fo:flow in fo:page-sequence
Andreas L Delmelle wrote: Sorry, but I disagree. The content-model of fo:page-sequence is: (title?,static-content*,flow) Or maybe you're referring to the XSL-FO 1.1 Rec, which FOP currently does not implement. There indeed, more than one flow may be put inside a page-sequence, and mapped to the regions using fo:flow-map... I think the XSL WG will be increasing the amount of documentation in the 1.1 WD that describes how multiple flows and flow-maps will work. Alongside multiple fo:flows, in the 1.1 WD, fo:simple-page-master has been expanded to allow multiple fo:region-bodies (although perhaps it would have been nicer if they kept fo:s-p-m unchanged and created a new fo:page-master that would have this advanced functionality.) I am guessing an fo:flow-map would not really be needed for multiple flows; just have one fo:flow refer to one fo:region-body and a second fo:flow refer to another fo:region-body within the fo:s-p-m. The fo:flow-map (again, my guess), is for when you want the contents of one fo:flow to flow from one fo:region-body to another within the same fo:simple-page-master.

Re: XML2PDF formatting progress
I would think, in order to give a progress indicator, FOP while running would need to know where the end of the input is (how else could FOP declare itself to be 25% done, 50% done, etc.). But FOP does not do such preprocessing, it processes the data as it gets it (well, starting at the end of each fo:page-sequence it finds), without knowledge of the number of future fo:page-sequences to be found. So I don't think FOP would ever know itself how much finished it is with its input, and hence would not be able to report on it. Also I believe the two parts you mention are not discrete, but happen simultaneously (we use SAX processing internally.) But in the future 1.0 version (not 0.20.5), you will be able to programmatically override the FOEventHander (which signals the start/end of most FO's occured while processing), and I think here you would be able to set a counter/fire an event for the end of each fo:page-sequence as it occurs, before calling the default processing. If you were to preprocess the document separately and get a count of fo:page-sequences to begin with--you can get a % done that way. Problem is, however, it would be time consuming to run the first part mentioned below another time just to get that total count. Also, differing sizes of the fo:page-sequences would make that percentage questionable. Glen alex wrote: Hi, I'm using FOP 0.20.5 embedded in a formatting project, where I have XML + XSL = FO = PDF.
