Re: Current state of Apache FOP?

[Glen Mazza]

You may want to take a look at open-source
JasperReports -- your stylesheets will not be XSL but
the system will still be Java/XML-based.  Later, as
FOP matures, you can evaluate going back to it,
possibly just by changing your stylesheets.  I have
not worked with this product, however, so am unsure of
its quality.

I really don't think so.  All of the PCDATA in your

to its properties.

Remove the template below from your XSLT, and that

I think so; something similar to [1] -- but with
something under the  that you would
want to see in the PDF in the case where there are no

Probably because you didn't specify table-layout
explicitly as a property, and hence that property
defaults as "auto".  Use process of elimination to
determine the offending table, and explicitly use
table-layout="fixed" and the message should go away.

In our /examples directory, we have a leader.fo sample
somewhere.  Run that and see if it works, if so look
in that file to see what needs to be done.

Process of elimination--keep reducing the input file
until the culprit is cornered.

That's quite unfortunate, as Ant is an excellent
productivity tool.  I would try to get your company to
reconsider.  

Anyway, I think your next step may be to start looking
at writing your own Java program using JAXP to process
all those files.  The Embed[1] page on our website
should be of help.

But the user is not necessarily using Xalan, we use
JAXP internally, which is XSLT-processor-agnostic, and
I'm unsure but doubtful that the xml-stylesheet
processing instruction can be supported by JAXP.

Best option here is to just specify -xsl { filename }
at the command line, just use the filename you have in
the XML document.  That's what all the other
command-line users do, whether or not they bother with
the xml-stylesheet PI.  Apparently xml-stylesheet[1] 
is mainly for browsers anyway.

Re: Default stylesheet

[Glen Mazza]

I don't know what a XSLT "default stylesheet" is --
checking the XSLT Rec for "default" is not showing 
any place where this is defined.  (I believe browsers
have them, but that wouldn't be applicable for our
discussion here.)

But if his input XML is already XSL-processable
(perhaps indicated by the fact that only a default
stylesheet would be needed to "transform" it), I think
FOP can do this already.  How about:

fop -fo abc.xml -pdf abc.pdf

RE: check to see if newpage is created

[Glen Mazza]

I'm confused about the comment:



But we don't want to see the text "continued" until
(=up to) the last page--we *do* want to see it on the
last page, and every page, except the first.  Is your
code doing this or are is it solving the above issue
instead?

Thanks,
Glen

RE: check to see if newpage is created

[Glen Mazza]

Are you sure?  If I understand the question correctly
he wants a different title on page 2 (and 3, and 4,
and 5...) from page 1.

For example:  Page One:  ACME INVOICE
Page Two & onwards:ACME INVOICE (cont'd).

Would markers really help here?

Re: check to see if newpage is created

[Glen Mazza]

I think he can, although I don't have an exact example
for him--[1] may come close.  It would be convoluted,
and I'm unsure whether it works in FOP, but:

Basically, he wants the static header to be different
on pages after one, if there is more than one page. 
That normally indicates using a
fo:page-sequence-master with maximum-repeats = 1 (see
line 26 of [1]) for the first
fo:repeatable-page-master-reference, and "no-limit"
for the second, with the two fo:r-p-m-r using
different fo:simple-page-masters.

The first fo:s-p-m would be same as what he's
currently using, the second fo:s-p-m would be the same
as the first, *except* that fo:region-before would
have a different region-name property (say
"show-contd-msg")

Next, within the fo:page-sequence, construct two
fo:static-contents for the differing headers (see line
38), one having a flow-name of "xsl-region-before",
and the other having a flow-name of "show-contd-msg"
(which has the "cont'd" message).  The first fo:s-c
will be activated for the first page, and the second
fo:s-c will activated for all other pages.

HTH,
Glen

RE: flow must contain block-level children

[Glen Mazza]

I don't think that helps, because he still gets the
empty fo:block and hence the blank page.  But by
rearranging your code, perhaps this will work instead:







 



   

I think this will work.  No fo:page-sequence--and
hence no blank page--will be output if there is no
data.

Re: fo:flow must contain block-level children

[Glen Mazza]

The problem I think is with your XSLT--you should not
output an fo:page-sequence if you have no block-level
children to generate to begin with.

I'm not an XSLT guru, but I don't think it is that
hard to do.  Would anyone have a sample?

Thanks,
Glen

Using Date/number datatypes with SAX events (Re: Seeking for expert opinion)

[Glen Mazza]

Jeremias (or others),

I'm converting over at work to this method you're
describing below, using the embed sample you mention
below--everything is going well so far.

Question though:  For date and number types within the
various objects that represent the data, should I use
String datatypes instead because of the subsequent SAX
event handling, or will dates and floats/ints etc.
still work fine with this method?

Thanks,
Glen

Re: representative example needed - success story

[Glen Mazza]

Thanks for sharing.  FOP was first developed by James
Tauber in the late 1990's[1], which he then donated to
Apache, and now FOP has had multiple "generations" of
developers maintaining it.  

I am seeing that FOP is at its best when it comes to
invoices--mass production of smaller documents, also
it does pretty well at Docbook PDF generation.

For my day position, the main success I've had with
FOP was in switching our online help systems from
manual gotta-maintain-the-appearance-on-every-page
HTML-based RoboHelp to Docbook HTML and PDF (the
latter being generated by FOP).  The online help looks
great, with everything having a standard appearance,
and maintenance costs/time/stress fell maybe 90%. 
Also, the new solution is free.

Also at work, I am currently halfway through moving a
couple of our invoice-sized PDF reports from Oracle
Reports to a Servlet/FOP implementation.  This will be
a second huge XML victory for me--not just my first
dynamic XSL web application in actual production, but
I will then have the web framework in place for more
reports to switch over to XSL more quickly.

BTW, for your conversion of HTML to a XSL-based
system, [2] may be of use for you -- I have not gotten
to this framework yet myself though.

Thanks,
Glen

"insert the content of this tag in the cover of the

one set of pages but not on others" --> use a separate
fo:page-sequence for the cover page.

"I don't have to process it as a normal  but I have to insert the content of this

I would use separate fo:page-sequences for that as
well (I think).  You seem to be doing standard
HTML->FO conversion.  [1] may be of use for you.

RenderX is, again, a fine company.  It is run by very
talented people of solid integrity.  I have no problem
endorsing them for Ilya, and I'm sure they will be
able to provide her the level of customer support that
she needs.


< FOP does 
> all that I need, so I've never looked at RenderX,

Indeed, as it does for most XSL users, but it won't do
all that *Ilya* needs.  She needs heavy-duty,
I-don't-even-want-to-check-the-website-for-examples
customer support, and open source is simply not the
best model for that type of user.


> and this doesn't seem a

Sometimes unfortunately we have to.  She's doing a
product comparison, and has an evident requirement of
hand-holding customer support that open source simply
can't provide.  (For example, wanting the FOP team to
manually provide examples to her, instead of her going
to the website or the examples/ directory of our
distribution.)  Hence, my recommendation for her to
look for a commercial product.

As for her "Oh I'm continuing to compare FOP and
RenderX...", "the FOP project seems dead...", "Oh,
Glen, did you just call your team incompetent
buffoons", etc., etc., it appears to me just intended
to intimidate the team into providing 24x7 support for
her, as if the FOP world is going to end if she
chooses RenderX instead.  I will not play that game.  

I'm calling her bluff...she's most welcome to go to
RenderX.

It's usually best to forget about XSLTInputHandler,

has a setParameter() call to show you how parameters
work with FOP.

You can download the nightly build of our redesign
branch--that will easily give you the equivalent of a
1.0-prealpha1 (if not more).  But a release is
time-consuming, will not provide you any more
functionality over the nightly build, and it will
actually delay us from getting additional progress
into 1.0.  It would just be smoke-and-mirrors at this
stage, giving users a false impression of completeness
while taking us away from the job of *really* getting
it done.

Also developer reputations are an issue, I suspect
most committers would be reluctant to associate their
names with an official release that is considerably
unfinished/substandard.

I don't know if FOP has this capability, but a search

I don't think you can, because of applet sandbox
rules.  They just can't wander over to other machines,
including printers.  But I may be incorrect here.

No, those are non-PDF devices.  One is Java2D, the
other is HP printer control language.

This issue has come up in the past, and (I believe)
the normal suggestion is to change your requirements. 
Isn't it strange to go to a website and have something
automatically print out of your printer?

Re: Newbie: Fopservlet problem

[Glen Mazza]

I'm not an expert on this either--hopefully others can add to this--but, 
yes, that library, as well as xercesImpl*.jar and xml-apis.jar are the 
three that may need replacing within your servlet container.  Replacing, 
however, can create other problems--the Xalan library can be buggy--so 
of course save the older versions you replaced.  Getting the latest 
versions from Xerces and Xalan projects instead of using the ones in 
fop-dir/lib may also be a good idea if the above doesn't work.

It may be Xalan-related, because the first URL below (which works) does

Re: deprecated methods in servlet example

[Glen Mazza]

It's just a deprecation warning, so can be ignored.  I
guess 0.20.5 did not keep the servlet examples up to
date with respect to the then-API.  

You may wish to look at the JAXP examples on our
"embed" page--we recommend that method for embedding
FOP.

Re: id already exists

[Glen Mazza]

One possibility is that you forgot to set a needed attribute within your 
Docbook source, that would be used by the XSL stylesheets to generate a 
unique ID value.

I would try to minimize your docbook xml to zero in on the precise problem.
A search on "already exists in this document" in the DOCBOOK-APPS 
mailing list (google for it) may also help you find the problem.

RE: Please help me( Error in Servlet to run fop)

[Glen Mazza]

Did you also include the batik.jar and avalon.jar?  I
don't have any more answers at this stage.  You may
wish to send your question to the Tomcat-Users list,
they may be able to understand your exception list
more easily and can point you to the problem.

I would also search the Tomcat-Users and Struts-Users
(even though you're not using Struts) lists for "FOP",
hopefully someone has had your problem.  Also, search
this mailing list (URL below will also get you there)
for "Servlet"--see if you can a simpler example that
works.

Also, what happens if you comment out the FOP portions
of your Servlet--does it work then?

Instead of an extension element--*very* complex--can't
you use XSLT to generate your FO stylesheet, possibly
using xsl:param to dynamically choose the graphic
desired?

Re: Please help me( Error in Servlet to run fop)

[Glen Mazza]

Hello Bhaskar, 

Looking at the error stack at the point where FOP was
invoked, it is possible you're having a problem with
the xerces and xalan jars in the servlet container.

Either (1) they're not present in either the shared/
or common/ directories of the servlet container, or
(2) they are, but they're old/buggy versions.  My
guess would be (1)--it just can't find the XML
libraries.  

HTH,

Re: AW: AW: Error while using fop: [ERROR] org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: master-reference

[Glen Mazza]

Matthias,

I would recommend looking through the on-line
tutorials offered by the commercial implementations
(at www.renderx.com, www.antennahouse.com) first in
order to learn about XSL.  

Then, run each of the FOP examples in the examples/fo
directory of the FOP distribution.  Take notes on what
you can use for your own work--look at the underlying
code.

Although in a ruder tense than I would use, I think
Michael Kay's recent advice for an XSLT newbie [1] may
be relevant here.  Learn a bit more before you start
working!

Glen

Having trouble removing linefeeds

[Glen Mazza]

Hello,

Within an fo:table-cell, I wish to have an output
similar to the following:

System Codes 25-30

Where 25 and 30 are calculated using fo:markers.

The FO snippet is as follows:


   
 System Codes 
 
 -
 
  


When running this, however, I'm getting this output:

System Codes 25
-
30

I.e., without the linefeeds being removed.

Question:  What is the combination of
white-space-collapse, white-space-treatment, and/or
linefeed-treatment I need to use, and where should I
specify them in the snippet above, in order to get the
output as desired?

Thanks,

Re: different input type to org.apache.fop.apps.XSLTInputHandler;

[Glen Mazza]

Besides Chris' answer, I would also recommend
switching to JAXP.  Look at our examples on this page:

http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html

Also, please remember to unsubscribe from the FOP user
lists (as well as any other) when you go on vacation,
so we don't receive your "out of the office" messages.

Re: Error while using fop: [ERROR] org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: master-reference

[Glen Mazza]

I suspect there is something wrong with your
transformation--the fo:layout-master-set is not
getting copied over into the FO document.

FOP is claiming that your fo:layout-master-set (at the
top of your FO) has no simple-page-master or
page-sequence-master called "der-einzige-seitentyp". 
Please check for the fo:layout-master-set in the
resultant file and make sure it has a
"der-einzige-seitentyp".  (Use Xalan for this.)

You may also wish to look at examples/pagination to
see the use of layout-master-set.

Apparently a product called "PJ" and also iText are

Re: Enhancing FOP command line speed

[Glen Mazza]

I would go to the PHP site/ML's/FAQ's, etc., and look
at how to keep a Java application active in memory for
your PHP calls.

Once you find out how that can be done, I would then
move away from a FOP command line to an FOP-embedded
program (see http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html
for examples) that you can keep active for your
multiple documents.

Something else to look at whenever something

don't work well with Fop.

Re: FOP hangs at Driver driver = new Driver(); line

[Glen Mazza]

Take a look at the examples on our embedding page
(http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html) to make
sure you're following the general syntax needed.  

I assume you're using current production 0.20.5, our
sample servlet
(http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/xml-fop/src/java/org/apache/fop/servlet/FopServlet.java?rev=1.5&view=markup)
may also be of help to you.

Re: FOP 0.20.5 and XDK 10.10.0.2.0

[Glen Mazza]

My thinking is that this might be an question for a
relevant Oracle ML (one for JDeveloper, perhaps). 
IIRC  their XDK incorporates FOP 0.20.4.

Another option for Slavko might be: can you use FOP
separate from the XDK?  I.e., perhaps just use the XDK
to get the XML, and then use FOP "natively" to
generate the PDF.  You may wish to look at our
embedding examples
http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html to see if you
can use FOP in this manner.

Re: command line problem

[Glen Mazza]

Did you build (compile) the application first?  If you
just downloaded the source (instead of the binary)
version of FOP, you'll need to build the app first by
typing "ant" (or "build.sh") at the command line in
the root directory.

Also, building will require downloading & installing
Apache Ant first--time well spent if you haven't done
this already, as Ant is a very useful tool.  Follow
the instructions in build.sh for more information.

OK, please make a Bugzilla entry for this.  Also let

that worked with the file.

Please also attach a minimal FO file that reproduces
the bug below--make sure (!) it has no personal or
other sensitive data within it, as well as the error

There is no Driver.java:321 anymore (the file is only
300 lines).  Please delete your entire CVS source
directory, then download again, also delete your
entire build directory, and then do a full rebuild.

We're now on JAXP, please look at the first example on

Re: FW: OutOfMemoryError by large tables: Alternative solution?

[Glen Mazza]

Another option for generating PDF, if you don't need all the advanced 
functionality of an XSL processor, could be iText:  
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/, http://sourceforge.net/projects/itext/.  
I have not worked with this product before, but it *may* be able to 
handle very large and relatively simple/repetitive documents better.  
However, you'll no longer be working with XML & XSL documents as input.

Thanks for the answers.
There are some items where I am still a bit confused.
First, I must agree that it might not make sence to render 2 rows into
PDF. The problem is, that the user can pick bad criteria and I can not
interact with him at that time.
As to splitting up the table:
J.Pietschmann wrote:
"It's not enough to reduce memory consumption. In order to
reclaim memory locked up in Area objects related to the
table, the FOs itself have to be reclaimed, which only
happens at the end of a page sequence."
I am quite new to XSL:FO but I think that you can only have one "body-flow"
inside a page-sequence? Snipet:

 
   

 
If so, and it has no (positive) impact if I have more tables or not, then
the only possibility is to split the source (xml) and run more times?

Hi there,
 

i have the following problem. Perhaps you can help me.
Ok, since i am producing my fo file from an automatically created xml 
file, there are often words wich are too big for a table cell and so 
overflow in the next cell. Sometimes words are even to long for one 
line of the page. So is there a fo attribute to wrap the word and go 
forward in a new line when it exceeds a predefined length? It has not 
to be an "intelligent" wrapping like hyphenation.

Re: Regarding Radio Button in JSf Application

I'm unsure what this question has to do with FOP. 
Perhaps the Sun Java forums would be of help for you.

Re: Help me from Outmemory issue

[Glen Mazza]

You can probably keep your XML the same.  However, you
*might* find it helpful you if you add a metadata row
for the number of rows you have--if you wish to rely
on that number for subsequent XSLT processing logic.

Your XSL stylesheet however-->can you rewrite it to
use more page sequences, or more (but smaller) tables?
 Is there some key value in each record that you can
divide by 10, perhaps, to set up 10 page sequences or
10 different tables?  The Mulberry XSLT list can help
you with any XSLT programming that may require.

A long time ago, for an old (0.16) version of FOP:

versions of FOP.  Currently only roomaji works.  ;)

Re: Accessing File in a WAR for XSLTInputHandler

Also, forgot to mention, consider dropping the use of
XSLTInputHandler and using JAXP directly--the latter
is a more established standard and a better skill to
be practicing:

Examples of JAXP:

Re: Outline extension generates a PDF bookmark set for each page-sequence

Bruce,

Hi,
I've come across what I think is a bug.  I did some searching and could

If I use the outline extension to generate PDF bookmarks it generates a
complete set of bookmarks for each page-sequence I have.  In other
words, if I have this input:

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>







http://xml.apache.org/fop/extensions";>

Section 1


Section 2




Section 1




Section 2



I expect to get one set of bookmarks with items of Section 1 and Section
2 linking to the first page and second page respectively.  Instead I get
two complete sets, i.e., items Section 1, Section 2, Section 1 and
Section 2.  The bookmarks link to the right places.  This only seems to
happen if there are outline references to more than one page-sequence.
Is this something I should write a bug report about?

Hello,

Newbie question--For a FOP report, instead of using a

a solid line.  What is the usual way of doing
this--use a leader?  Set a solid "after" line border
for the table cell that the header is in?

For example:

John  Baltimore
Bob   Washington
Mark  Richmond

I would like the hyphens under the column names to be
a solid line instead.

Want to convert a standard form to XSL

[Glen Mazza]

Hello,

Sorry to give such a traumatizing example, but here is
the U.S. IRS 1040A income tax form:

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040a.pdf

Question:  If I wanted to convert a to-be-filled-out
PDF form available on the web (such as this one) to an
XSL that can be generated by FOP or a commercial
implementation (with user-added text printed on it),
what is the process?*

a) Would I have to manually declare every line, every
checkbox, plus all the background text of the form
within the FO, in addition to what the user may enter
in?  (I hope not!)

b) Can I somehow make a BMP or JPEG of the generic
form, and just specify it as a background to the XSL. 
Then, I would just need to hardcode the locations of
where the user-entered text will go.  (I hope so!)

If (b), what format does one normally save the
background PDF document as?  Also, what fo:object do I
use to specify this graphic as the background?

Thanks,
Glen

*My goal is not to convert the 1040A form itself--I'm
just using this form as an example.

Re: hide logging message

[Glen Mazza]

The new version will not require you to specifically
code for a logger; it quietly gives you a Commons
Logging SimpleLog by default.

Also, in the maintenance/production branch, we put in
a patch to make the "logger not set" error not appear,
it just uses an Avalon Console Logger quietly if not
specified.  However, for the release version, you
still need to explicitly set a logger or else you get
the warning message.

Re: url port 8080

[Glen Mazza]

Now I understand your question!  The answer:  No, you have to specify 
the port number.

If you look at the http spec[1], and search on "80", you'll see a few 
places where it specifies that if you do *not* specify the port number, 
it defaults/must be taken as 80 for http.

I'm not sure--it's been a while since I've personally
worked with Tomcat.  The tomcat-user list is probably
the best resource for you--this also looks like a
(very) FAQ question--that of changing the port the
servlet container listens to--so you may want to check
the Tomcat website as well.

The Cocoon-user list may also be of help here.  But
I'm missing something--I don't see how any of this
could possibly change your servlet port (parameters
that use numeric attributes would appear to be more
plausible, no?  ;)

Re: using multiple page sequences

Yes, 1.0 is far away, but we keep working on it.  Every day it's getting 
better formed.

Cheers Glen, Are you on the FOP dev team? Is 1.0 far away? I'll look into
these other implementations. You are right the XSL won't work, I was
originally playing around with  but removed it as it wasn't useful, and obviously forgot to
change the rest. Thanks again.
bF.
