AW: : Getting number of rendered pages
Hi Enrico, thanks for your reply. Yes, your within FOP is worth a try, but I'm not happy with modifying the FOP source. I'd prefer to have a, say, RenderInfo object, to get useful information about the rendered document. Thanks anyway, Erik Rehrmann IOn AG - [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Enrico Schnepel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Montag, 30.

AW: Getting number of rendered pages
Hi Jean-Claude, the applications flow of work is: 1) Client requests print of chapter 2) A ProcessManager on the server picks up that request, looks up what process should handle that request and starts it with the necessary environment. 3) The process connects to the database, extracs all information needed for printing this chapter to XML and calls FOP for rendering the chapter to PDF. 4) After finishing this work the ProcessManager informs the client wether his request was handled successful and where he can find the PDF. If I use java-extensions I have a problem of authentication. While the XML is generated into a public directory I cannot insert any database connect information. So wherefrom gets the java-extension the database connect information (server, port, service, database name, user, password)?

This help you to write external Java classes directly callable from your XSL transformation rules. a simple exmaple : xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform; version=1.0 xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; xmlns:e=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Spec/ElementSyntax; xmlns:xjava=xalan:://mycompany.util.PrintInfo xmlns:java=http://www.apache.org/xslt/java; exclude-result-prefixes=java xsl:template match =TITLE xsl:variable name=locfo:page-number-citation ref-id=@id//xsl:variable xsl:variable name=title select=text()/ xsl:value-of select=ejava:putValue($loc, $title)/ fo:block font-size=11pt ... Just select the right place to put such rules in order to detect the start and the end of your chapters. I suppose you know JDBC to connect java code to your database.

Re: AW: Getting number of rendered pages
It could be possible to do this using a simple extension to fop. - define you own namespace, with elements and props - put the markup at the end of the document, where it can read the page number - provide some sort of connection with you other code On Mon, 30 Jul 2001 10:28:39 Erik Rehrmann wrote: Hi Jean-Claude, the applications flow of work is: 1) Client requests print of chapter 2) A ProcessManager on the server picks up that request, looks up what process should handle that request and starts it with the necessary environment. 3) The process connects to the database, extracs all information needed for printing this chapter to XML and calls FOP for rendering the chapter to PDF. 4) After finishing this work the ProcessManager informs the client wether his request was handled successful and where he can find the PDF.

Hi Keiron, - define you own namespace, with elements and props ok - put the markup at the end of the document, where it can read the page number ok - provide some sort of connection with you other code maybe I'm currently too tired to understand, but what exactly to you mean by this? -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Keiron Liddle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Montag, 30.

Hi Jeremias,
THAT's exactly what I was searching for! But unfortunatetly, the Driver.format() in
the current cvs versions looks like
/**
* format the formatting object tree into an area tree
*/
public synchronized void format()
throws FOPException {
FontInfo fontInfo = new FontInfo();
_renderer.setupFontInfo(fontInfo);
_areaTree = new AreaTree();
_areaTree.setFontInfo(fontInfo);
_treeBuilder.format(_areaTree);
}
The javadoc confirms this!
Do you mean an other class/method ?

does anybody know if it's possible to get the number of rendered

I think it should be possible, because the PDFRenderer prints the

We have to print a book divided into several chapters and every

(information of every chapter is in a database table to keep track of chapter

Driver.format() returns the number of generated pages as an integer.

Re: AW: Getting number of rendered pages
THAT's exactly what I was searching for! But unfortunatetly, the Driver.format() in the current cvs versions looks like Do you mean an other class/method ? No, the problem is this: I'm using an older version which still returned the number of pages. Obviously, someone removed this functionality in the meantime. My version from Feb 2001 does it this way: return this.areaTree.getPages().size(); Can anybody tell my why this has been taken out? From what I can see in the sources AreaTree still has the function getPages(). If nothing speaks against it I'd like to see this enabled again.
