There is a rather odd bug that showed up when I set -Dlinks.merge=yes on the
command line. The following FO:


  
1.
Introduction
  
  




  


caused FOP to report:
[ERROR]: 0 >= 0

The FO comes from a Docbook stylesheet, and is part of the table of contents
(actually most Docbook+FOP users won't get this error because Docbook
produces a different TOC format without leaders if the "fop.extensions"
parameter is set to "1").

The problem seems to be due to the sequence (basic-link leader basic-link)
in a justified block. Removing any one of these fixes it, as does making the
whole line a single basic-link.

Trouble is, changing the links.merge default could break some documents with
a very obscure error message.

Re: fop problem

2001-10-01 Thread Rob Heittman

why do you conclude this is a FOP error?  This looks like Cocoon is 
having a problem with basic transformations.  Did the problem suddenly 
begin when you installed FOP?

XSLTInputHandler constructor for InputSources?

2001-09-28 Thread Rob Heittman


Would it cause problems to provide an alternate constructor for
XSLTInputHandler ... ?

  XSLTInputHandler(InputSource xmlsource, InputSource xsltsource)

in addition to:

  XSLTInputHandler(File xmlfile, File xsltfile)

I am working with XML which is streamed directly out of a repository, not
a file, and could get rid of a bunch of lines of redundant code in my app
if I could use FOP's XSLTInputHandler instead.

If this makes sense, let me know and I'll be happy to provide a patch.

Batik/SVG working in latest FOP builds?

2001-09-24 Thread rob


Sorry to be dumb about this, but I just joined the list recently.  My
customer just added a requirement to use SVG images as external-graphics.
(Up to now it had been the usual GIFs and JPGs, but now we are working on
the hi-res print version and quality matters ...)

To scale the images properly I'll need to use tricks like
examples\svg\external.fo.

With the latest FOP from CVS, I'm getting exceptions on the example file
(below).  Is this operator error, the expected result, or other?

Thanks,

- Rob

Re: Performance and java 1.1

2001-09-21 Thread rob


I would add to the consensus here ... I believe that requiring Java 2
collection classes is more than reasonable, particularly for this project.
I'm not sure that anyone is going to have much success deploying bleeding
edge technologies like XSL:FO if they are trapped in a 2-3 year old Java
platform.

All customers I am working with who are doing PDF rendering with FOP
are all on 1.3, 1.3.1 JVMs ... they are early adopters and technophiles by
definition.  The other guys are still using TeX  ;-)

Besides, 1.1 users can work around the use of Java 2 collection classes if
they absolutely have to, by using Sun's collections.jar and changing the
package imports in the source code.
