Generating PDF on the fly using on the fly XML
Hi, I used to create a servlet that can produce PDF by setting its contentType. 1. Now, I wonder if I can use Apache FOP to take XML stream that I created using JDOM to produce a PDF? How? 2. Is it possible to produce a PDF that only contains JPEG using XML stream? I am thinking about storing an image stream in an XML document like this : picture the stream is here /picture 3. What about producing mixed content (image and text) in a PDF? I know I can use the external link/external file fo element. But what if the image and text are all created on the fly?

Its 1.3.1_06.
What do I need to do to get the class in to my classes folder.
To be sure of the version, put System.out.println( System.getProperty(
java.version ) ); in the same code as were you use FOP. Then you can
be sure that it is really the version of the java used to run FOP that
you see.
If you dont have java.util.HashMap, then the version is below 1.2, and
there isnt really anything you can do about it, other than changing JDK.
There is a possibility to add the collections classes to a pre 1.2 jdk,
but these classes exist in a different package, which means that you
would have to modify FOP and probably every library that FOP relies on.
My humble advice would be to ditch J++.

I have both Sun JDK and MS JDK. Is it in there?
If the Sun JDK is above version 1.2 then yes. Try java -version on the
command line, or print System.getProperty( java.version ) in a program.
i.e
public class Prop
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
System.out.println( System.getProperty( java.version ) );
}

Table column width
Hi, I have a problem in displaying the data in the pdf table. Each column width in a table should be different from the other column depending on the data. Since I am using the same fop stylesheet for different tables, I cannot hardcode the column width in the stylesheet. Is there any option we can set so that the PDF table columns get adjusted with the data you pass (like HTML table)? If not, how can I go head to solve this problem?

one method of using dynamically create xml content would be to use the

here some sample code:
StringReader input = new StringReader(xmlString);
try
{
FileReader inputxslt = new FileReader(new File(xslfile));
Transformer transformer =
TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(

Re: Table column width
Thanks for the reply. How do you take the column width in a stylesheet. I don't want to take each column width data as a separate parameter because the no of columns vary from table to table. My Logic is get a string with all the column width s of the table seperated by coma. In xsl split it and use it for the defining the column width. But I did not find any methods in xsl to split a string and put it in an array? Can u please tell me, how can i do this?

Re: fop + servlet + multisession
Now I'll try to encrease the debug level...(by the way how can I do that??)
Now my output in the dos-Tomcat window is this ( I'm creating a pdf document
99 pages long):
[INFO] [99]
[INFO] [86]
[INFO] [87]
[INFO] [88]
[INFO] Parsing of document complete, stopping renderer
[INFO] [89]
and it seems blocked but I don't know.
but sometimes it works fine...very strange...
and sometimes the servlet is called twice( why??)
This is the code:
.
try{
XSLTInputHandler input =
new XSLTInputHandler(xmlFile,
xslFile);
renderXML(input, response);
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
.
public void renderXML(XSLTInputHandler input,
HttpServletResponse response) throws
ServletException {
try {
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
response.reset();
// questa riga è necessaria per IE che forse non capisce il
SetContentType()
response.setHeader(Content-Disposition,inline; filename= +
Report1.pdf);
response.setContentType(application/pdf);
org.apache.fop.apps.Driver driver = new
org.apache.fop.apps.Driver();
driver.setRenderer(org.apache.fop.apps.Driver.RENDER_PDF);
System.gc();
driver.setOutputStream(out);
driver.render(input.getParser(), input.getInputSource());
System.gc();
System.out.println(stop render);
byte[] content = out.toByteArray();
response.setContentLength(content.length);
response.getOutputStream().write(content);
response.getOutputStream().flush();
} catch (Exception ex) {
throw new ServletException(ex);
}
}

Antwort: Re: multithreading issues - FOP, TIFFRenderer, Solaris 4-proc machine, pja x-server
ok, I run the same thing with PDFRenderer, and I found no problems there. This means that the multithreading issue is either within a) AWTRenderer b) TIFFRenderer (subclass of AWTRenderer) c) pja X-Server emulation. Since the issue is, that fontsize-changes from one Renderer influence another Renderer, I suspect the mistake to be in a) or c). AFAIK FOP paints the characters to the InMemory-Image in these classes. Is this correct? Has anyone used AWTRenderer in a mutlithreaded environment?

Different JRE versions' affect on extent/margin(s)
In testing my application, I've noticed that different JRE's produce differing FOP output. Specifically, Java 1.3.1_04 tends to require more space for region-before region-after than Java 1.4.1_01. If I use the 1.4.1 extents/margin(s) with 1.3.1, I get a Some static text did not fit error, and it prints on the next page (if there is one--FOPpers know the drill :-). If I use the 1.3.1 extents/margin(s) wwith 1.4.1, I end up with incorrect region-before/after, leaving 1-2cm of white-space around region-body. My problem is that I have clients who use wide-ranging JREs using my templates. I'd like to come up with an intelligent solution to this (e.g., use JRE -version as a parameter to re-calculate the extents/margin(s)) My questions are: - Is this documented anywhere? - Is there a matrix/calculation enabling me to change this - How do others handle this problem?

Subject: Re: FOP extension functions
This passage means that when you package your extension in a separate
JAR file you have to add a certain file to the JAR. It's name is
org.apache.fop.fo.ElementMapping and must contain the fully qualified
classname of your class that extends the ElementMapping interface. That
file must be in the directory META-INF/services.
So if you have generated your extension jar, it must have approximately
the following contents:
/META-INF/services/org.apache.fop.fo.ElementMapping
com/gleim/myfopext/MyFopExtElementMapping.class
com/gleim/myfopext/MyFopExtElement.class
[..]
In Driver.java (at the end) you will see code that inspects this special
file you have to add. It's to make sure that the extension is registered.
You can also skip this step with tat special file if you call
Driver.addElementMapping() either with the fully qualified classname or

I hope this helps.
May I ask what extension you're planning? Just curious.

Sorry, forgot to include what I wanted commentary on... :-)
Hello all,
Could someone elaborate a little on the following from the
FOP extensions
documentation please? Mabye paste some example code as well?
Create a jar file with your classes, it must also include the
following file
/META-INF/services/org.apache.fop.fo.ElementMapping. In this
file you need
to put the fully qualified classname of your element mappings
class. This
class must implement the org.apache.fop.fo.ElementMapping interface.
Thanks in advance for help,
Jeremias Maerki

How to include an external graphic using a relative path
Using FOP, I succesfully wrote a servlet to generate PDF's from in-memory DOM object's containing XSL-FO markup. I able to embed graphics files by specifying a physical path as in: fo:external-graphic src=url(/project/img/image.gif)/ However, since this is a web application, I need to be able to specify a relative path for the image file.

Re: footnote in a list body
Karen Mergner wrote: I have to insert footnotes in my document. It works fine, if the footnote is in a paragraph. But if the footnote is in a list, the footnote has the same indent as the list body and it overwrites the last text rows at the bottom of the page. Oddly enough, the indentation may even be correct. Apparently the fo:block in the footnote body inherits the start-indent from the fo:list-item-body. Yes, start-indent *is* an inheritable property, I just looked it up (sect. 7.10.7). The descriptions for fo:footnote or fo:footnote-body don't contain anything interesting regarding indentation of the footnote body (sect. 6.10.3f). Overwriting text rows is a bug, but probably not directly caused by the footnote but rather by an incorrect calculation of available space for list items or some subelement. Is there a solution of this problem? Use start-indent=0 (or whatever you like) on the fo:footnote-body or the blocks therein. This will fix the indentation, I'm not sure about the overlapping text.

AFAIK FOP paints the characters to the InMemory-Image in these classes. Is this correct? Probably not. Renderers in general are not MT safe, but I found critical stuff only in the PDF renderer (static variables holding a StringBuffer which is filled an reset in an unsync'd routine in pdf/PDFCIDSystemInfo.java:21 and PDFWArray.java:99). There are more unprotected static variables but they seem mostly be changed by configuration, so if you load your configuration file only once, it shouldn't be that bad. Has anyone used AWTRenderer in a mutlithreaded environment? Well, the AWT renderer bears the comment attributed to Mark Lillywhite: ... This class could also do with a general audit, and I suspect it's not swing-thread-safe either. However, the class was designed for use in a stand-alone viewer, not for general purpose and multi-threaded environments. I still didn't find much unprotected static data, however, you might want to inspect the sourtce yourself.

Re: Prb: Using bold fonts with FOP??

I get the courier font file from my /WINNT/Fonts/ directory and generate the XML file for the two fonts, courier new (cour.ttf) and courier new bold (courbd.ttf). When I generate the pdf file I have two different fonts in my file, the courier new it's OK but the courier new bold is not. The font is different from courier. You have to have separate entries for the Courier New and the Courier New bold in your userconfig.xml. Check with the documentation and the sample (for Arial) in the sample userconfig.
