Problems running FOP

2002-03-20 Thread Markus . Lehr
Hi, I have some difficulties running Fop and I´m trying to fix it for more than
a day now.
When I´m trying to start Fop from command line, it returns:
Exception in thread main java.lang.NoClassDefFound Error:
org/apache/avalon/framework/logger/loggable

I was able to fix some similar Exceptions by adding various jar-files to the
classpath, in fact I added (almost?) every jar-file... from
avalon-framework-4.1.1.jar to xerces-jar, but it won´t help.
I´m using fop-version 0.20.3 and I have installed xalan (which runs
perfectly...).

Can somebody please help?

This sounds like avalon-framework-4.0.jar is missing.

Mmmh .. Fop should work out of the box from the commandline.
All needed jars are in the lib/ directory and fop.bat/fop.sh adds
them to the classpath. Which OS are you using?
Can somebody please help?

2002-03-20 Thread Markus . Lehr
I´m using Windows NT 4.0 Service pack 6. And I´ve got the
avalon-framework-4.1.1.jar in the classpath, which I added manually.

I copied all jars to a  directory and then added them all to the classpath (so I
never really executed the fop.bat). Do you think this could cause the problems?

Thanks

How print dot-matrix printers (TXTRenderer)

2002-03-20 Thread Clóvis Wichoski
Hi FOP team,

I'm using FOP for generating PDF's, but now I need use FOP to generate 
text files (txt) for dot-matrix printers using Epson ESC/P, and I have 
following questions:

1) I need create my own Renderer?
 if yes, what I need to share this with FOP-DEV

2) Can I do this with TXTRenderer?
 if yes, How put chars like CHR(27) CHR(18) in txt?

Best regards

Passing Parameters at the Command Line

2002-03-20 Thread Robert Brosnan
I'm running fop (0.20.3) at the command line and would like to be able 
to pass it parameters much like I do with Xalan (testXSLT).  With 
testXSLT, you can pass parameters with the following syntax:

testXSLT -in source.xml -xsl transform.xsl -param name 'value'
I would like to be able to do the same with fop, but when I execute:
./fop.sh -xml source.xml -xsl transform.xsl -param name 'value' -out 
out.pdf

fop spits out the standard help screen and dies, claiming the renderer 
hasn't been set.  I've tried various permutations of the invocation, 
including changing the quoting scheme around the parameter's value, 
though nothing changes the outcome.

Has anyone run into this situation before?  Know how I can pass 
parameters?  Is it possible at this stage in FOP's development?

Thanks,
Rob

RE: Passing Parameters at the Command Line

2002-03-20 Thread Michiel Verhoef
I'm not 100% certain but to me it looks like testXSLT is actually a call to
Xalan.
It is possible to call Xalan with parameters, using the -parameter switch.

fop calls Xalan itself but has AFAIK no possibility to pass parameters to
Xalan.

A work around might be to write a shell script that calls a transformation
first
and then calls fop with the transformation result (a fo file) as input.

HTH,

Michiel

text colums

I am producing pdfs that will have a bullet list that
I want to display in two columns, like newspaper
columns.  I won't know in advance how many items will
be in the list.
I'm using fop via Cocoon.  My source xml doc just has
a series of items, each having a li tag.  In an html
page, a single column list would be produced, but in
the pdfs I want to use two columns.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

As an FYI to the poster of the screen-shot: 
1) Right-click on the menu bar of a of a terminal window.
2) Select Properties.
3) Select options.
4) Confirm that QuickEdit Mode is checked.
5) Click ok
6) 'Save properties for future windows with the same title'
