Incomplete PDF content

I am facing a strange problem while generating PDF in Servlet. I have got two PDF reports to generate at present. I can generate one PDF properly, but the other one, whose structure is similar to and simpler than the first one, is coming out incomplete. It gives me the header and footer, and an

Hi all, Firstly I want to apologise in advance for asking many questions. :) It has been some time since I used fop and fo (I think the last version i used was 0.17..) 1. Is there another way to use absolute positioning without using the fo:block-container tag. With the text I have I don't have

RE: Building a FO document with FOP

I guess it is better to build them as XML documents and use xsl:fo to transform them to FO documents. It is much easier. You could use the XML to render HTML, RTF or any other format. FOP programming is also much easier, as you shift all the java programming burden of building the FO document

RE: Building a FO document with FOP

Thanks Bhawana, This is not exactly what I mean. I don't have XML data documens, I'm trying to build a pure XSL:FO document through code, not transform an existing XML to FO. It will go like this: Data (from DB) --(Java code)-- FO document --(render with FOP)-- PDF Any clue? -Original

Re: Building a FO document with FOP

Hi Ismaeil, I think Bhawana suggested: DB-JDBC-XML-XSL-FO-FOP-PDF, this includes the additional xml document representation, but puts the XSL:FO instructions outside your java, which would by bypassed by java generated FO documents (your below mentioned construction) It probably boils down to an

Re: Building a FO document with FOP

I recommend you don't build XSL:FO through Java code directly. Produce a simple XML format with just the data in it. Use a XSLT stylesheet afterwards to convert the XMl to XSL:FO. It sounds like a lot of work, but you're actually going to save time. For example, if your layout has to change you

RE: Building a FO document with FOP

Thanks All, I'm well aware of the XSL solution. We had long discussions about the subject of using XSL on XML documents. I'd say I'm forced for the time being to write the pure FO directly through code. I'd like to know if anyboy actually has some experience with writing FO through code. I'd

table-footer at foot of table problem

Hello. Please excuse me if this has already been asked - I've trawled through the archives and read the FAQ to try to find an answer, but to no avail. I am using a table with a fixed height, and a table-footer element. I may be missing something, but I would like to have the footer at The bottom

RE: table-footer at foot of table problem

My guess is table-footer is working exactly as intended. Are you sure you don't want to use a page footer? Something that always gets placed at the bottom of a page? If so, look into using xsl-region-after fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; fo:layout-master-set

RE: table-footer at foot of table problem

Thanks for the quick reply Scott, I don't think I want to use page footers in this case (although I'm willing to if they can solve what I want to do ) - but I understand where you are coming from. The reason is that the xsl I've written produces documents that go over a few pages and I wanted to

Re: table-footer at foot of table problem

Steve What you could do is set the height of each table row to some length ie 5mm. You then know how many table rows will appear on each page. Count up the number of rows in the table, calculate the number of rows that will appear on the last page. Insert Y empty rows at the end of the table

The short answer is you can't expect a large number of users to ask for reports at the same time and not run into memory problems. Believe me, I've stress tested my report server and hit this wall quickly. However, if you write your server to only run X number of reports at once and queue any

Each request comes into the servlet on a separate Java Thread. I keep track of the number of reports currently being generated and Thread.sleep(1000) the queued threads. Every second or so the threads wake up, check to see if they should run (next in line and # reports running MAX) otherwise
