fop and VAJ 3.5.3
hi, does anyone know what to do to make FOP run in Visual Age for Java 3.5.3? I tried to import: 1. all java and resource files from Fop's src directory and 2. import xerces-1.2.3.jar, xalan-2.0.0.jar, batic.jar, jimi-1.0.jar But I still get a NullPointerExeption while generating a new sax parser instace in org.apache.fop.configuration.ConfigurationReader.createParser() the actual exception occures in StringPool.ensureCapacity(). See also the screenshot. On the other hand: I could also use Forte3.0 instead of VAJ 3.5.3. Using Forte, would it be easier to get FOP run in the Debugger: (I would like to debug the FOP sourcecode)?

Re: fop and VAJ 3.5.3
Martin, Thank you for you help, now it works. But i note that I got it only running in VAJ if I import the sources from build directory not from the src directory, and it seems that I need to run ant in advance of the import. The result is, that I actually do not debug (and possibly change) the real source but the ant-generated source code. Is this the way one should go or is there a other/better way to do it? Bodo Martin Roob wrote: ..you have to deselect the hook on the NullPointerException on the tab Exceptions in the VA Debugger. Otherwise, VA will stop in the debugger on every NPE, even if the NPE is handled later (which is the case in StringPool.ensureCapacity). Otherwise you have to press the resume button for about 1000 times. In my opinion it is no good style to generate NPEs and handle them instead of avoiding them, but that's how it is here. This makes it somewhat difficult to debug real NPEs.

Re: orphan and widow control?
hi, since no one on the fop-user list seems to have a clue im reposting my question on fop-dev: i played a little bit with the orphan and widow attribute in fo:simple-page-master ..orphans=3 widows=3 and also in the flow and block elements but it seems to have no effect. is this feature implemented at all ? bodo teichmann - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
exceptions for hyphenation
Hi, since Fops hyphenation algorithm (borrowed from TeX, right?) seems to be not working perfect, i wonder whether there is a possiblility to define exceptions: Example : the german word Blumentopferde would be hypenated to Blu-men-top-ferde which is not correct. In TeX one could define an exceptionlist for such words. Is this possible in fop too? Or - if not - is somebody thinking about implementing this in Fop ?

keep-with-next problem on multi column text
hi, i tried to use the keep-with-next property on a multi column page with some text blocks that normally fits on one page with 4 columns. my text consists of this sequence of text blocks: every 2nd block is meant to be a headline and the the following block is the paragraph belonging to that headline. therefore i set the keep-with-next attribute on the headline blocks but still the column break occurred between the headline and the paragraph. looking in to the code i found that in org.apache.fop.fo.flow.Block.layout(Area) the line: this.keepWithNext = this.properties.get(keep-with-next).getEnum(); does not have any effect , since the getEnum() method always returns (0) because the org.apache.fop.fo.KeepProperty(Keep) does not overwrite the getEnum() method. so i patched this so that this.keepWithNext got the value=5 (just to see what will happen then ) but immediately i run in to another error: the headline appeared on the bottom of the old column, a wrong page break occurred (instead of a column break) and the same headline appeared on the top of the new page. if nobody else is currently working on this problems i would be willing to do this, if i (as a someone who just started to try to understand the fop source code) get some assistance from the fop gurus. would you appreciate this? bodo teichmann - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Concat
Hi, xsl-fo does not have a function which can be used to concatenate strings. XSL-Transformation however has such a function (concat(...)) it takes an many arguments as you like.

You can use the following line to concatenate strings img href="javascript:void(0);"MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> Is there a function like concat for Strings.

RE: Can't bind page number into a variable
Hi Simon,
I'm afraid but there is no way to know on which page you are.
Is there a reason why you can't put the page number into a static area?
If you can then the following snippets might help:
1. Define your pages (left / right)
fo:simple-page-master master-name=right_page
page-height={$MEDIA_PAGE_HEIGHT}cm page-width={$MEDIA_PAGE_WIDTH}cm
margin-top={$MEDIA_MARGIN_TOP}cm margin-bottom={$MEDIA_MARGIN_BOTTOM}cm
margin-left={$MEDIA_MARGIN_LEFT}cm margin-right={$MEDIA_MARGIN_RIGHT}cm
fo:region-body margin-top={$SUBSIDIARIES_HEADER_EXTENT}cm
margin-bottom={$SUBSIDIARIES_FOOTER_EXTENT}cm
margin-left={$THUMB_AREA_EXTENT}cm margin-right={$THUMB_AREA_EXTENT}cm
xsl:call-template name=makeBackgroundImage/
/fo:region-body
fo:region-before
extent={$SUBSIDIARIES_HEADER_EXTENT}cm/
fo:region-after region-name=footer-even
extent={$SUBSIDIARIES_FOOTER_EXTENT}cm/

fo:region-start extent={$THUMB_AREA_EXTENT}cm/
fo:region-end extent={$THUMB_AREA_EXTENT}cm/
/fo:simple-page-master
2. Assign them to odd / even page numbers
fo:page-sequence-master master-name=subsidiaries
fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives
fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference=right_page
odd-or-even=odd/
fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference=left_page
odd-or-even=even//fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives
/fo:page-sequence-master
3. Use the page sequence and add layout specific to even / odd pages
fo:page-sequence master-reference=subsidiaries
fo:static-content flow-name=footer-even
xsl:call-template name=makeNotesFootnote/
xsl:call-template name=makePageNumberFooterEven/
/fo:static-content
fo:static-content flow-name=footer-odd
xsl:call-template name=makeNotesFootnote/
xsl:call-template name=makePageNumberFooterOdd/
/fo:static-content
fo:flow
...
/fo:flow
/fo:page-sequence

Subject: Can't bind page number into a variable
Hi,
I would like to put specific attributes on odd or even pages, so I began
by looking for a way to check the context pages but I did'nt find
anything.
So I wanted to bind the fo:page-number / into a variable in order to
make some test on it when I want to add specific parameters to my tags.
xsl:variable name=page_numberfo:page-number //xsl:variable
xsl:if test=($page_number mod 2)=1
xsl:attribute name=text-alignstart/xsl:attribute
/xsl:if
xsl:if test=($page_number mod 2)=0
xsl:attribute name=text-alignend/xsl:attribute
/xsl:if
But it looks like being impossible to bind the fo:page-number / into a
variable or param (I tried to write my variable in a block but it looks
like being setted to by the fo:page-number tag).
Is here a reason for my variable to be null ? And is there a way to detect
the context where I am currently in while writing in a non-static content
?
I also tried to make a template with a page_number param but it doesn't
work either...
Here are some examples of my pdf outputs :
http://www.tatouage.fr/temp/ap_skin_example.pdf
(here I want to align my titles at the start or the end of the block
depending of the odd or even condition, I am in a non-static context)

(It's the same with this skin but it will be easier for me because every
objects have statical
