Re: Big success; structural questions
(where to start?) Currently the svg rendering uses more memory than it should, all the rendering data is written into a StringWriter. -- I think in terms of the structure of FOP: - changing the pdf generation would be a good thing, ie. adding streaming support and linearized support (good for downloading (not generating)) would be useful. - The separation of the object parsing/formatting/rendering is about the data. I don't see a problem with a high level of control of when particular parts of this flow occur as long as each page is valid and rendered correctly. Also it should not get in the way of further development towards full implementation of the FO spec or operation of the renderers. The FOTreeBuilder is probably not the right place. I guess we need to know details first. -- There are tests but they do not test the pdf output (a bit too difficult) only the xml area tree.

I have also successfully tested my changes against a 120-odd page version of 'docs/examples/svg/embedding.fo' - that three page file x forty-something. I would try it on a bigger file but I need to sleep instead; I'll set one of my machines going on a really big file tomorrow just to see where the limits are. I haven't looked at the heap size growth yet but I expect a very small linear growth since the PDF still has to maintain a list of references for each page. Still, that's quite tiny and probably can be optimized significantly if it becomes a problem. I have some questions regarding the structure of FOP and how my changes might be integrated into the main tree, assuming of course that they are desired and the PDF page parent issue can be sorted out. Firstly it could be argued that I have violated one of the secondary design principals of FOP, namely that the separation between parsing/formatting/rendering has suffered a warp core breach. In fact I think I have managed to keep the separation pretty clear, but at some point control has to move from the parser to the formatter/renderer and this is no longer done by the caller. By this I mean that the thread running SAX is now running the formatting and rendering. Does anything see this as a huge problem? (What is the plan for FOP 0.20 anyway?) At the moment I am doing this in a horrid hack in FOTreeBuilder because that's just the most obvious place to find where the fo:page-sequence element ends. I also initialize and close the renderer in FOTreeBuilder using some new methods I had to add (PDF specific atm). I am not certain that FOTreeBuilder is the right place for this code, but it might be. Any suggestions? I like the idea of a bridging class actually; ParserRenderer or something, that FOTreeBuilder uses. Secondly, because of the change in the rendering sequence I am afraid that other renderers might not work any more, especially not the AWT renderer. I was wondering if anyone would like to help me with these other renderers? The changes are fairly straightforward. I am happy to work on the AWT renderer and can probably work out the PCL renderer, but if my code might be accepted into the tree then it would probably be beneficial if someone else knew broadly what I've been up to. I don't have any PCL devices handy so I would have some difficulty testing any changes I make. And I'm not even sure what MIF is, some sort of interchange format .. ? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Can FOP work with other parsers and processors?

set request properties for URLConnections
i wanna set request properties when retrieving for example an image with
fo:external-graphic. I need it for setting cookies or authorization header (if
image is located on a server where authorization is needed):
...
URLConnection uc = url.openConnection();
uc.setRequestProperty(Cookie,cookie);
uc.setRequestProperty(Authorization, Basic + encoding);
...
I'm new to FOP development. Does anybody know if it is a feature commonly
wanted because I found that it is not implemented yet:
FopImageFactory.java:
public static FopImage Make(String href)
throws MalformedURLException, FopImageException {
// Get the absolute URL
URL absoluteURL = null;
InputStream imgIS = null;
try {
absoluteURL = new URL(href);
imgIS = absoluteURL.openStream();
} catch (Exception e) {
=
Here some code has to be implemented to set the request properties and a way
has to be found to set name and value of the properties via Driver object I
would suggest.
Any comments are welcome.

external-graphic - problem using relative path
Hi all,
I posted a message regarding this problem a couple
of weeks ago, but received no reply.
I need to reference images ("external-graphic") in
my xsl. It seems to work fine when I use the absolute path, but not when I
use the relative path. Please find attached my original message - it's a
little more detail and contains some sample XSL.
Any help on this would be greatly
appreciated.
TIA,
Micheál

Hi all,
I'm using Xalan to create my .fo files from XML and
XSL, then rendering pdf's using fop (v.0.19). I'm using JDK 1.3.
This is all within a servlet. I'm using Apache and Tomcat together as web
server and servlet engine. My problem is when I try to include
'external-graphics'. I want to be able to get the graphics using a
relative path over the web server. Problem is, when I put the path "http://localhost/VincentSite/img/checkbox.gif",
it works, but "/VincentSite/img/checkbox.gif" doesn't. The strange thing
is, I use a dictionary aswell, and I can find that using either
"/VincentSite/xml/Dictionary.xml", or "http://localhost/VincentSite/xml/Dictionary.xml",
so I know I'm using the correct path. Also, this happens within a larger
application which uses relative paths everywhere in the XSL to get images, and
has no problems.
I've looked elsewhere for a solution to this, and
can't seem to find one, so any help would be much appreciated.
TIA

FOP in a servlet under load
We did some playing around with a simple FOP servlet that does XHTML-XSL-FO-PDF using Xalan and FOP and come away with the following findings: 1. It uses quite a bit of memory. While running around 20-30 concurrent users, each generating a set of four PDFs ranging from 2 to 5 pages five times each, the servlet engine memory usage is about 110MB. 2. It uses quite a bit of CPU. While running the above test, the CPU is about 50% with 10 users, 70% with 20 users, and over 80% with 30 users. 3. It takes quite a bit of time to do the generation. The minimum generation time for the four documents are from 1 to 4 seconds (the 4 seconds one is 5 pages with 13 tables with various cell colors and border styles). In the 30 user test, the average time are from 20 to 40 seconds, and maximum well over 2 minutes. -- Weiqi Gao [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It might be instructive to construct a similar applet that uses Xalan to do XHTML-XSL-FO, and serve those FOs (labeled as application/xml) to the browser. If a significant portion of the load is due to Xalan, a reduction might be possible by using a different XSLT engine such as SAXON. (SAXON is also more compliant than Xalan.) -Chris -- Christopher R.

3. It takes quite a bit of time to do the generation.

In the 30 user test, the average time are from 20 to 40 seconds, and maximum well over 2 minutes. This sounds quite like the experiences by Jim Cotugno (See subject Multithreading). Some time ago I did some concurrency tests and it was interesting to see what happened. When multiple conversions occur concurrently FOP seems to align the processing like this: Let's say FOP does steps 1, 2 and 3 and we have conversions A, B, C and D which run more or less at the same time. The following seems to happen: A1, B1, C1, D1, A2, B2, C2, D2, A3, B3, C3, D3 I happened to see that when I sent the output of every thread into the same console. It might very vell be, that this has something to do with the use of static variables. This also explains your experienced maximum of over 2 minutes. There's a lot we can do here (everybody can help): - Identify the bad spots - Streamline the generation process (as currently done by Mark) - Write a simple performance benchmark to see if we're making any progress. Document the results. - Rework the bad parts The topic Avalon has come up a few times over the last months. It has never got much attention. But it might help us to get rid of some of the performance problems just by reworking parts of FOP for Avalon. This could also result in a stable high-level interface for FOP which would probably cheer up a few people as well (Cocooners, Servlet-integrators etc.). What do you think? I know we're not really in the optimization phase but looking at the number of Foppers.

RE: external-graphic - problem using relative path
try placing an image (say foo.gif ) on the same directory as the fop.jar . Then write a simple fo file: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; fo:layout-master-set fo:simple-page-master master-name=simple fo:region-body margin-top=3cm/ fo:region-before extent=1.5cm/ /fo:simple-page-master /fo:layout-master-set fo:page-sequence master-name=simple fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body fo:block fo:external-graphic src=file:foo.gif/ /fo:block /fo:flow /fo:page-sequence /fo:root Place it in the same directory and test if from the command line. If this does not work, something is broken with the version of fop you are using. Most probably the path you are using should be relative to where the fop.jar is placed ( this is what works for me, not necesary the best way to do it ) MVH Ronald -Original Message- From: Micheál Healy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 2:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: external-graphic - problem using relative path Ronald, Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortuately, it hasn't worked.

Failing that, what happens when you set the environment variables by hand, and then execute the final command by itself, not through the script...still no joy? Can you run your current Ant on other build files? What version of Ant are you using? Try Ant 1.3 if all else fails. Just some starter ideas. I'm sure we'll get to the solution sooner or later.

Re: FOP in a servlet under load
Hi With my changes to FOP I can process tens of thousands of pages of XML:FO in only a few Mb of heap. I have asked for testers but so far noone has responded... this sounds like an ideal environment in which to test, no? The performance of FOP seems also to have improved, probably because the GC is a lot less stressful (far fewer objects to scan and far fewer OS memory requests being performed). I hope to have my final changes completed today at which time I will post a summary of them and submit them for inclusion... they are not too major. I have modified all of the renderers to suit and have a slightly different API and calling sequence. But I'm happy to send a JAR and the sources to anyone who wants them earlier. One of the main problems with FOP IMHO is not that it is poorly designed but that there has been little control over the quality of the code that is present there. There are wild variations in the code, assumptions made in it, commenting, use of public/private members, coupling, cohesion, maturity, you name it and it changes from file to file and module to module. I make this observation because a redesign of FOP is not going to make these issues go away - another solution is required. I'll look at the synchronization issues once I'm finished with the pipelining issues, assuming my patches are worthwhile :) Regards Mark Weiqi Gao wrote: We did some playing around with a simple FOP servlet that does XHTML-XSL-FO-PDF using Xalan and FOP and come away with the following findings: 1.

Re: FOP in a servlet under load
I just run 30 threads of my earlier chapter 15 allelements example on my home machine and noticed that compared to a single thread run, time spent on XSLT increased roughly 6 fold, time spent on build FO tree increased 30 fold, formating 12 fold. Context switches are at 6 per second level while in FOP, compared to 4000 per second while in Xalan. In unmodified FOP, input from the source FO document occurs entirely at the beginning of the FOP run, and output entirely at the end. Therefore, the largest part of FOP processing occurs entirely in-memory and is therefore CPU bound. If you run 30 CPU bound threads concurrently on a machine with less than 30 CPUs then you are going to get degraded performance. When you say 6, 30 and 12 fold, I assume you mean times? AFAIK, processing time on a single CPU machine with a CPU bound thread running with 29 other concurrent CPU bound threads *should* take 30 times longer, because it's executing 30x the instructions. If the XSLT and the formatting are doing I/O then these parts of the system will benefit from threading because the JVM can make progress during IO waits. I'm actually surprised that the numbers aren't much higher, but perhaps you have SMP. Anyway, I'm not sure if my analysis is entirely correct here but none of this seems particularly surprising to me, and doesn't indicate any problems with FOP processing per se. Of course there is a lot I don't know about FOP so maybe someone call explain this to me. Regards Mark The data seem to point to contention problems as was pointed out yesterday. It might be instructive to construct a similar applet that uses Xalan to do XHTML-XSL-FO, and serve those FOs (labeled as application/xml) to the browser. If a significant portion of the load is due to Xalan, a reduction might be possible by using a different XSLT engine such as SAXON. (SAXON is also more compliant than Xalan.) -Chris -- Christopher R.

userconfig in AIX.
Hi..I'm attempting to run FOP 0.19.0 under AIX using WebSphere
Java 1.2.2. Mostthings seems to be working ok. My problem is
that I can't seem to load myown user configuration file. Using the Fop
command line program..java -classpath fop.jar org.apache.fop.apps.Fop -c
"conf/userconfig.xml" -fofonts.fo -pdffonts.pdf---I get the
following message.reading user configuration fileCan't find user
configuration file conf/userconfig.xmlusing default values--I
have tried copying the config file into the current directory. I've
triedproviding the whole path /.../userconfig.xml. I've tried renaming
the file.In the end I tried writing my own code to test if it was related to
fopcommand line code. static void main( String[] args )
{ try { Options options =
null; String pathFonts =
null; InputSource foFile = new InputSource( new
FileInputStream("fonts.fo")); FileOutputStream out =
new FileOutputStream( "fonts.pdf" ); // options = new
Options(new
File("/home/davidr/Fop19/userconfig.xml")); options
= new Options();
options.loadUserconfiguration("userconfig.xml");
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
driver.addElementMapping("org.apache.fop.fo.StandardElementMapping");driver.addPropertyList("org.apache.fop.fo.StandardPropertyListMapping");
driver.setOutputStream(out);
driver.buildFOTree(createParser(), foFile);
driver.format(); driver.render(); } catch
(Exception e) { System.out.println("Error in
Main"); e.printStackTrace(); }
}You will notice, I even tried different methods of setting
options. Everytime I get the same error. I can only assume this
is a bug related to AIX?Anyone seen this problem, or can suggest a solution
or workaround?Thanks..David.

Hi, You can certainly fire them over to me - I'll be happy to test. Great! Thanks. I'm just about ready to send you a bunch of stuff, I think.

I think my concern here grows from the fact that (a) I'm new and (b) the comments I've seen recently about redesign have not, to me, been design issues. Also, I want to say that I was not complaining about the code quality as such - in a project like this just about all code is Good Code and it's important to be grateful for and gracious about it - but just that the quality variability can itself cause problems.

I like the idea of the CMM categories but I think that in practise CMM can't solve problems for a bunch of autonomous people who don't even share a time zone.

Hi Fopsters I'm personally only offended by being referred to as a fopsicle. Just kidding. :-) I just love the word 'fop', it has so many literary possibilities. :-) Seriously, this is great stuff. You should be aware that the initial memory buffering that you see with the -buf switch is only a limited portion of more extensive work that has yet to be folded into FOP. [snip] OK. I believe it will be necessary for the two systems to be aware of one another. I actually had to back out the changes to FOText that related to BufferManager because BufferManager was holding onto the text well past it's use-by millisecond. As I understand things, the BufferManager stuff will help with long, single page-sequences, and my stuff will help with multiple page sequences. This should satisfy everyone! (famous last words if ever i've written them!) This is open-source; nobody should be offended by people hacking away at code. should be being the operative word. Some open source project participants don't like getting critiqued by outsiders - and a patch is basically a critique written in Java. So I'm very pleased and excited with your reaction to these ideas. Specific comments; IDReferences have mostly to do with fo:page-number-citation/, that is, the possibility is there that you need the page number that contains the results of rendering the block with id=foo356, and you're currently on page 44, and the block with id=foo356 will end up on page 887, although you don't know that yet. You're right, this kind of stuff can cause major issues for pipelining. Nothing insurmountable, though. OK. For my own personal 'itch' I don't care about page-number-citations, but obviously it must be supported. So I would propose that I work out how to deal with the citations in a PageSequence queue and use deferral for the time being. This would mean that documents that contain references to future page-sequences will consume more memory, but should otherwise work just the same. The code you see in Root.java should not require page-sequence N+1 to be formatted before you render page-sequence N. All that's going on there is, if the force-page-count property on page-sequence N is auto, it needs to know about the initial-page-number property on page-sequence N+1. This doesn't require any formatting to take place at all. OK, well with the deferral mechanism the page-sequence will be parsed but not formatted/rendered immediately. I'll look at the code path for the force-page-count property and see how i can optimise it under this queue scheme. So this is how I plan to proceed: o Try to get the PDF renderer serializing much sooner. This appears to be a current bottleneck in complex documents, but I haven't run the profiler against them yet since I only started processing large numbers of examples last night. o Look at the IDReferences again and see if I can design a neat implementation that addresses the queuing issues. So far all my work has been an unstructured hack (there are some nasty public statics in there to hold things together - um ahh), so - if I can show that the approach works, I intend to reimplement it from scratch against the latest CVS. I think what I'll do is, once I make everything work using my hacks, I'll post a summary of the changes I intend to make, so that people can give me feedback on the ideas. Also, I have run some of the tests from the examples directory and they appear to look fine, except that I don't know what they're *supposed* to look like!! So how would I go about getting my code validated against XML:FO?

Re: FOP in a servlet under load
Hi Weiqi, In unmodified FOP, input from the source FO document occurs entirely at the beginning of the FOP run, and output entirely at the end. Therefore, the largest part of FOP processing occurs entirely in-memory and is therefore CPU bound. If you run 30 CPU bound threads concurrently on a machine with less than 30 CPUs then you are going to get degraded performance. That's exactly what we observed. Unfortunately, in the servlet world, multi-threading is the norm. Not so much to distribute the load as to handle concurrent requests. I simply cannot queue up all the requests and process then one at a time. Why not? It would be pretty easy to make a queue up that processes FOP objects serially, blocking the servlet thread until the requested object is formatted. With a centralised Queue you could then select the number of FOP processors that are processing the entries on the queue. I have a nice multithreaded Queue implementation that allows multiple servers on a single queue with multiple submitters - it doesn't block the enqueue caller, but that wouldn't be too difficult. That way you can have the right number of threads for the number of CPUs you have, and you should get better overall performance and much less memory usage. Sure, the servlet thread(s) will block waiting for processing, but that's what happens anyway, right? I am actually interested in solving this problem because I am using XSLT-XHTML in servlets, but I am using a HTML serializer rather than FOP to output to browsers. The question then becomes, is there room for improvements. From what I've heard so far, the answer is yes. Replacing inefficient JDK 1.1 always synchronized data structures, streamline the processing model, find ways to reduce object creation and garbage collection, seems to be the key. Agreed, there are plenty of places to improve FOP, definitely in the current implementation but also (apparently) in the design. I've just finished (I hope!) the first of a couple of iterations that should improve the throughput and memory use of FOP significantly. I hope to send patches and JARs out in a few hours, but there are plenty of places where things could be improved. Just one example is the FONode which always allocates a Vector, even if it has no children... there are plenty of these things - but that's OK. It's much more important to get things broadly correct than to be totally optimised, especially at this early stage. When you say 6, 30 and 12 fold, I assume you mean times? Yes. But I have to prefix that with 'uncontrolled unscientific unofficial pseudo-benchmark on a home machine'. Don't read too much into it. Sure, I wasn't reading too much into it, just replying. But a 30-fold time increase from 2 seconds is about 34 years. :-) I'm just a pedant I think, everyone these days seems to say fold when they mean times. It's like saying one could care less when one actually couldn't. :-) Following suggestions from another post in the thread, we tried Saxon in place of Xalan, and achieved noticeable speedups. And yes, Saxon is picky! I'll share some numbers later. Great! It raises a question about the suitability of using FOP in a servlet environment. We certainly learned what is and is not achievable with today's FOP. And we'll regulate its use in a way that won't flatline the servers. I believe that there are going to be processing speed limitations in FOP, and (IMO) XML in general, for the next while. For example, most software (including FOP, I think) seems to process XML by comparisons with tags, lookups in dictionaries, etc etc. While this is lovely, what we end up with is this whole chain of inefficient processing - from XSL to FO to PDF - where everything is dealt with as Strings, with the management and resource usage that entails (regardless of language). It would be ideal if, for example, an XSLT processor could say to FOP, OK, instead of sending you the string 'fo:block', I'm going to send you the integer 1 - this double-handling of everything slows XML processing down significantly, and this means that there are going to limitations on how fast it's possible to make FOP go. In reality, I reckon that XML needs to be preprocessed before computers get to it, kinda like using lex before sending stuff off to yacc. But rather than whinge I should just do something about it in my spare time :-) Anyway, all of the above are just the demented ramblings of someone who wishes that there was a way of efficiently encoding XML documents for processing. I love XML, but to summarize, I think FOP's problem is largely XML, not FOP. I'll volunteer to test. Email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Great. I'm going to have a look at another phase of optimisation before I send you something because I suspect that all the renderers are working a particular way and, if so, then I may as well take advantage of it now - which will reduce the memory footprint even more, if
Re: userconfig in AIX.
First of all can you put -d in the command line. THis will show an error
dump of what is hapenning.
The message that you are getting is printed out if the ConfigurationReader
throws a FOPException, ie. any sort of error. So it may be that there is
some other problem such as invalid xml, there is an IOException, your
parser doesn't support namespace pref, your parser wasn't found etc.
In other words, lots of things could be wrong.
