Interesting, the test program fails if Xalan 2.0.0 is in the classpath but works if Saxon 6.5.4 is substituted for Xalan. Seems like you have hit a Xalan bug. The 2.0.0 version is quite a bit outdated meanwhile, download the latest Xalan version from http://xml.apache.org/dist and see whether the problem goes away if you use it. J.Pietschmann
Re: FO to PCL interrupts at SVG
Darya Said-Akbari wrote: When I convert my FO file to PCL with FOP 0.20.3 I get the error message: !!! TODO: getWidth() ... How shall I understand the error message? FO to PCL do not work when there is SVG in the FO file? The implementation of the PCL renderer is still incomplete. So, what to do when there is need for SVG images in a printout? It may already help to specify an explicit width on the fo:external-graphic object. You can also render the SVG separately to a bitmap format, like uncompressed JPG, using Batik, and use the bitmap in fo:external-graphic. J.Pietschmann

It is VERY bad practive to reply to a mail when you want to start a new thread! Not even the subject is changed. The empty PDF often happens when an exception/error occurs. You'll have to post more information on your problem: error message, stacktrace/log, version of FOP, platform where the error occurs.

Re: Use a relative path do insert a graphics file (Re-post with bett er title)
Hi Kurt, AFAIK relative image paths do not work when FOP is used within Cocoon, due to FOP (or any Cocoon Serializer for that matter) not getting info about the location of the current XSLT file. Maybe using http URLs would work? http://myserver/images/thisone.gif"/> But I haven't tested it. Otherwise you'll have to use an absolute path, which you can make configurable in the sitemap or in a separate XML file. -Bertrand

Re: Block and page changing
If you don't want to force a page-break before any block, you should use the keep-together property. Unfortunately fop doesn't handle this property on block elements. A solution can be to insert the block in a table. Then you can apply keep-together on the table-row element.

RE: Problem with PDF generation
The version of fop i'm using is 0.20.3 but i have obteined it from the command line. I'm going to try to generate the same result from a servlet.

Performance Guidance
I am using FOP to take a single page of XSL:FO content and convert to PDF. I have embedded FOP in a servlet. When I have one user requesting a page it takes about 6 or 7 seconds to get the page formatted as PDF. It seems like each additional simultaneous request pushes the response time by 6 or 7 seconds. So, if 10 users request pages at about the same time, the 10th user gets his page back in about a minute--and this is only one page. Is this the performance I should expect? What the ideal way to handle the rendering process? Should I create a Rendering object that had a rendering method or should I simply have a class with one static method that renders? Any guidance on how to embed FOP and get better response time is appreciated. Mike Zahigian, Sr. Programmer/Systems Analyst Amgen Business Information Systems (805) 447-2819 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Problem with PDF generation
But it was helpful to us newbies who will probably make similar errors. The more examples I see, the better. Just wish there was someone out there who could take one of my sample reports that I need to generate, and create the whole thing from start to finish. I could use that as a model for the others that I have to create. -Original Message- From: chandrakant_binwani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 9:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Problem with PDF generation Thanks a lot Oleg...

A relative URL is resolved agains a base. If you use FOP from the command line, the default base is the directory where the FO file or the source XML file resides. This can, in theory, be overridden (does not work yet, I think). If you use FOP in a servlet or embedded in an application, the base must be set explicitely http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&m=101354604124258&w=2 If there is no baseDir set, I believe FOP will search from the current working directory of the process it runs in.

RE: Performance Guidance
Matt, I'm not sure what you mean by a "one FOP processing thread per appserver instance"? J., I am getting data out of some javabeans in the form of xml, then this xml is transformed using a stylesheet, then another transformation takes place to create the xsl:fo and then FOP takes over. I'll go ahead and try and profile--you think the bottleneck might be in the transformations and not in the final rendering? Do you have a profiler you can recommend?

RE: Performance Guidance
I mean every other thread has to wait. I have the FOP processor wrapped in a stateless session bean and I limit the number of instances of that bean to one. This is because of the serious performance drop-off we see when FOP is run more than once concurrently. I'm still working out some of the details.

RE: Performance Guidance
FYI, here is the processing we do to generate a report: 1) Stored Proc returns 1 or more (up to 7 for a lab report) Result Sets which for the most part represent the different levels of data (report, study, doctor, patient, visit, test, analyte, etc.) 2) These result sets are converted to XML strings via built-in Oracle classes 3) The app combines the XML strings into one XML DOM object, which is the data portion of the report 4) For PDF output, the XML DOM is transformed to xsl:fo (DOM) via xslt 5) The xsl:fo DOM is transformed to PDF via FOP As far as performance, for large reports step (5) becomes a memory/processing issue long before the DOM sizes or XSLT transformation become a problem. Step (2) seems to be the next biggest resource consumer. I know there are steps I can take to minimize the memory needs of FOP. But as far as concurrent processing, which I assume is a CPU usage issue, I'm not sure.
