RE: running from servlet, is buffering needed?
FWIW, in my opinion the overriding concern is that Fop should be able to run in a multi-threaded environment. As such, considering that this is a core feature, this should be fixed.

I want to know is the memory patch really needed when fop runs from a servelet.

Static-content vs. flow (newbee question)
Hi I have an SVG image which I would like to use as background image for all pages in the pdf-fileI am generating. Reading the previous postings in this list, it is my understanding that background image is not yet supported, is this correct? Instead a previous posting suggested to place the SVG image in e.g.xsl-region-after as a static content. But the static-content (the SVG) is placed above the flow of the body-region thus covering some of the text in the body-region. Is there any way to change this? or do anybody have a better idea?

I generate my XML file, and then call the command line Fop from within my
servlet:

c:\\prueba.xsl, -pdf , c:\\prueba.pdf});
As I said, it is NOT elegant, but after sweating for days with problems of
all type doing the elegant thing, I get my beautiful PDF on disk.
Of course you should adapt the names of trhe directories and the xml and

AW: Need Working Sample
Hi Gustavo,
the following works great:
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
InputHandler inputHandler = new XSLTInputHandler(xmlFile, xslFile);
org.xml.sax.XMLReader parser = inputHandler.getParser();
driver.buildFOTree(parser, inputHandler.getInputSource());
driver.format();
driver.setOutputStream(out);
driver.render();
response.setContentType(application/pdf);
byte[] content = out.toByteArray();
response.setContentLength(content.length);
response.getOutputStream().write(content);
response.getOutputStream().flush();
This example lets the servlet stream the result directly to the client browser. If you
want to have the pdf file on your disk instead, just write use an other output stream!
It currently does not work for IE5.5, but I'll check the hint of Alex McLintock
earlier in this list.
Hope this helps you out,
___

RE: Need Working Sample
Sorry, but this does not work for two reasons.
1. The XML does NOT exist on disk! It is in memory only, and writing it to
disk is NOT an option.
2. This is a high traffic web application. Starting a new JVM to process
FOP is too costly.
There must be a way for this FOP thing to read raw (data only) XML (in
memory) apply an XSL style sheet to add the FO tags, then format the PDF and
return it to a browser. I can't believe I am the first person in the word
to need to do this.
If I seem upset, I'm sorry. But I have been fighting with FOP since last
week to get it to do this. FOP works great for taking FO files and
converting them to PDF files, but that's not what I have to do. I have a
deadline to meet and I have wasted a week trying to get FOP to work.

Hi, I am new to FOP. I have a servlet which dynamically generates XML. I
need to apply an XSL stylesheet containing FO tags to generate a FO
version of the XML and then I need to run this FO version of the XML
through FOP (or Driver) so the servlet can return a dynamically created
PDF to the browser. Does anyone have a working example of how to do this?
Only the XSL style sheet containing the FO tags used in the initial
transform will be on disk. Please help, I have to get this working.
Thanks,

RE: Need Working Sample
Hi Erik,
I have tried your stuff, but it still gives me the same problem i
have since two days after I try to instantiate the parser:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: Namespace not
supported by SAXParser
Error msg: null
At the risk of looking abusive, could someone take a look at the xml and xsl
files (they are really short examples that work with Fop as a line command,
and I'll invite a beer to whomever comes to Geneva (CH, not IL) to pick it
up)?
They are attached once more.
Really thanks, and sorry to know that Jim cannot use my non-elegant
solution. I am fighting this stuff for days also and I have to finish my
project by next Friday.

Hi Gustavo,
the following works great:
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
InputHandler inputHandler = new XSLTInputHandler(xmlFile, xslFile);
org.xml.sax.XMLReader parser = inputHandler.getParser();
driver.buildFOTree(parser, inputHandler.getInputSource());
driver.format();
driver.setOutputStream(out);
driver.render();
response.setContentType(application/pdf);
byte[] content = out.toByteArray();
response.setContentLength(content.length);
response.getOutputStream().write(content);
response.getOutputStream().flush();
This example lets the servlet stream the result directly to the client
browser. If you want to have the pdf file on your disk instead, just write
use an other output stream!
It currently does not work for IE5.5, but I'll check the hint of Alex
McLintock earlier in this list.
Hope this helps you out,

Jim,
don't be upset! Please take into account that the mails arrived not right on time when
you sent another mail! I sent my mail BEFORE I saw you're working with memory streams!
It's is possible to handle strings as stream. Have a look at the streams bean of
alphaworks (streams.jar)
http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/ab.nsf/techreqs/Streams
Hey, ... keep cool, it's just another deadline ;-)

Sorry, but this does not work for two reasons.
1. The XML does NOT exist on disk! It is in memory only, and
writing it to
disk is NOT an option.
2. This is a high traffic web application. Starting a new
JVM to process
FOP is too costly.
There must be a way for this FOP thing to read raw (data only) XML (in
memory) apply an XSL style sheet to add the FO tags, then
format the PDF and
return it to a browser. I can't believe I am the first
person in the word
to need to do this.
If I seem upset, I'm sorry. But I have been fighting with
FOP since last
week to get it to do this. FOP works great for taking FO files and
converting them to PDF files, but that's not what I have to
do. I have a
deadline to meet and I have wasted a week trying to get FOP to work.
Jim

RE: Need Working Sample
The FopServlet reads a .fo file. This is of no use to me. I will
dyamically generate XML contianing only data. This XML will be in a
StringBuffer. I first need to apply an XSL sytle sheet to this
StringBuffer, generating a new XML stream (IN MEMORY). This new (IN MEMORY)
XML stream then needs to be ran through FOP to generate a PDF stream which
will be sent back to the browser. The embed sample also shows how to
process .FO files. This is not what I want The ONLY file that can be
on disk is the XSL file which contains the FO tags to apply to the XML data.
Applying XSL to your XML in memory should be fairly easy. The
transformation APIs in JAXP handle this. then just edit the servlet code to
handle something other than a file stream. I got this to work without much
problem a while ago. My code is appended below -- I think it worked with
0.17, haven't checked it in a while. It differs only slightly from the
original. The fo data comes in an HTTP parameter called fo, though you
can change the name. It loads this all into the String called fo. Then when
it sets up the driver, instead of passing it a FileInputSource, it passes
it a StringInputSource derived from the fo String.
I dimly recollect that the Driver interface changed a lot in 0.18 so some
of these methods may now be hidden, i.e. not called directly in the
servlet, but if you manually configure your driver, changing the type of
input source you hand it should not be hard.

About testing
Hi Keiron, It looks like you are the testing guru. Thanks for taking the initiative on this; I agree that it's crucial. I've finally got around to looking at this in more detail, as I'm trying to add some good cases for tables. I have one problem and one question. Problem: For some reason, certainly relating to ClassLoader behavior, if I run build.sh test in my xml-fop directory, the version checking code in RunTest is finding the ./conf/config.xml file locally before it finds the one in the test/reference/jar. The result is that it refuses the version since it's FOP @version@ and not FOP 0.19.0-CVS or whatever. I find if I hide the conf/config.xml file, it uses the one in the jar and everything works fine. Have you noticed this by any chance? Perhaps it's due to a java bug - I'm using the Sun JDK 1.2.2 for Linux (Mandrake). Question: I see that the XML rendering doesn't have lots of traits, no Area Container positioning for example, no line-height information etc. Is it a reasonable thing to enhance the output format to include (eventually) all the traits which are supposed to be on areas?

Re: running from servlet, is buffering needed?
No, seshadri.

I want to know is the memory patch really needed when fop runs from a servelet. Iam sure when it is servelet invoked, the xsl-fo files are much smaller, because some user is waiting to see the files on the browser, unlike commandline where really big files could be used. If that is so, then I could commit the memory patch to fop. seshadri - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
