RE: FOP/Batik requires X11?

2001-05-30 Thread Kelly Campbell
The best way I know of to support this on a headless server is using a virtual frame buffer (Xvfb) which comes with XFree. I think Sun is planning to have it fixed in JDK 1.4. See http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4281163.html for more info. -Kelly > -Original Message---

Peter, Another reason is for the auto-generation of the property handling classes. Also, I beleive one of the very early versions of Ant which was used required the source files and destination to be the same, and just to make cleanup easier the build file was written to copy them to the build di

I seem to remember fixing some of the possible problems in a more recent release. And I know Keiron or Arved also fixed a problem with a static page numbering variable that would cause problems like that. Try 0.18.1 and see if it works better for your application. One approach for tracking down

RE: Gump xalan2 failures

2001-06-18 Thread Kelly Campbell
Scott, Is it possible you have an older version of FOP checked out and didn't do a "build clean"? That's about the only thing I can think of that might be causing that ambiguous class error. I will try a clean build using Xalan2 from CVS and see what happens. -Kelly > -Original Message

RE: How can I create Widgets with FOP?

2001-06-19 Thread Kelly Campbell
Hi Andre, XSL:FO doesn't specify any form widgets such as you want. This is something which currently is only implemented in HTML browsers. There is a working draft spec for XForms which provides form widgets in the context of XHTML, but I think it would allow for mixing form widgets into a XSLFO

update of xml libs?

I am wondering if anyone objects to an update of our bundled dependencies: Xerces 1.2.3 -> 1.4.0 Xalan 2.0.0 -> 2.1.1-dev (neccessary to fix the Gump build issues Scott and I have been discussing), should be upgraded to a final released version of xalan-2.1.1 or 2.2.0 (whatever they decide to c

It sounds like you just need to run a transform using Xalan on the xml to get the FO tree, and pass that FO tree to FOP using Driver.setInputSource(). See the Xalan web page for examples of doing the tranform programatically. -Kelly > -Original Message- > From: sravan kumar [mailto:[EMAI

+1 for committing it. I've always thought there was something a little off in our line spacing, I just couldn't put my finger on it. Just because we have a test suite, doesn't mean we should let them hold us up from fixing problems :-) I've encountered this before on other projects that test by c

As a workaround, you can probably fork out a new 1.2 JVM from 1.1 in order to run stuff like FOP+Batik that requires the 1.2 API. Integration that way isn't exactly clean, but it is a valid workaround that's been used many times elsewhere :-) Upgrading from 1.1 to 1.2 is probably a much much bigg

This issue seems familiar. I seem to remember working around something similar with redirects when we went from Xalan1 to Xalan2 in the FOP build. Make Xalan2 do "the right thing", and we'll fix our build if there's an issue because it was relying on a bug in something else we import. I'm glad G

JDK 1.3.1 on Linux is very finicky about what versions of libraries it works with. I've seen all kinds of problems with Redhat 7.0, 7.1, and Debian latest. Redhat 6.2 is the only version I've found to be fully stable for all JDK's I've ever tested. -Kelly > -Original Message- > From: Pet
