fo:external graphics and memory usage
Hello! I have a little question about fo:external-graphic and memory usage. I think this question was answered before, but i did'nt find the right thread :-(. Are images that were used in fo:external-graphic cached, and if , where ? And how do i reset this cache ? I'm using 0.20.5rc2. I ask this question because my jvm ( sun, win2k ) heap size grows and grows till i's sudden out-of-memory-death. Because we are using CORBA, i thought about orb object references that where not corretly cleaned, but analysis with jprofiler says that there are none, except that the heap seems not to be cleaned up. What am i doing wrong ? Thanks a lot. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[ANNOUNCEMENT] OKI dot-matrix renderer available for download
Hello fop users ! Finally, it has been done : our renderer to generate output for oki dot matrix printers is gone open source as part of the mogwai project on sourceforge.net. The current release can be downloaded at http://mogwai.sourceforge.net . This renderer generates escape sequences which can be directly send to the matrix printer. Thus, the data is not printed pixel-per-pixel like printing with acrobat. The printing process is really speeded up. The release 0.1 has the following limitations : 1. No graphics and no svg is supported. 2. There are only two font sizes ( normal and double-height, double-width ) 3. Only horizontal lines are supported. Vertical lines are cut away. This renderer has been used in production environment, and it fits our needs very well. The few limitations are no real problem, because the printing is done on pre-printed business paper, so there is no need for lines and the artwork. Making this renderer available is our way to say thank you to the community. All the developers of the fop team have done a real great work. Thanks a lot. I hope that this renderer is also usefull for other people. If there are any problems, don't hesitate to contact me. Happy coding!

AW: FOP performance - frustrating.. help!!
Hi Folks! I think that java is not the problem. Sure, it has some problems with mass data computation, but it's the same than with every programming language : if your code is sh*t, your program will run slow. I don't want to blame fop as sh*it. Please don't misunderstand me. My thought is that the resulting slow fop translation depends on an unoptimized stylesheet, and also processor speed and system power. We are running fop on our JDK1.4.1 1.7 GB P4 512MB and the result is very satisfying. If i can believe the fop statistics, generating a simple list as described takes about 90ms per page, so ca. 10 pages per second with 80 rows per page. So the report should be ready in about 1,2 seconds The difference between 1,2 seconds and 5 minutes can result in slow CPU speed or an improper stylesheet. A word to the fop team : Fop is great. It's superb. Sure, some things needs to be implemented, but its a great tool for xsl-fo computation. Keep on the good work!! Cheers Mirko -Ursprungliche Nachricht- Von: Robert C.

From: Bob Leif To: Lee Insoo A good deal of your problems comes from the selection of Java as the programming language. Java is a tremendous marketing success. Unfortunately, Java was obsolete the day it was created. Although Java is owned by SUN, it has been the second finest gift to Microsoft. It has their competitors using a flawed tool. The finest gift was when IBM told its customers that OS/2 would run best on Microchannel hardware. The best language for web tools is Ada, which is ISO/IEC standard 8652:1995(E). It is what Java claimed to be, portable. Ada includes generics (templates) which work; enumerated types; and, whenever possible, dispatches at compile time. Ada is like XML in that it has range checking and begin and end structures. There is an excellent GNU Ada compiler (GNAT) available at ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/ On a 1.4 gigaHz Pentium, the time for a GNAT compile and link is minimal. The error-messages are excellent. http://www.adaic.org/ is a source of useful information on Ada. -Original Message- From: Lee, Insoo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 27, 2002 12:30 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: FOP performance - frustrating.. help!! Hello, I'm getting a little frustrated with FOP performance. We are generating an XML on the fly that contains a few tables with about 1,000 rows in total. We passdown this XML along with XSL to the transformer to generate PDF from our servlet. (transformer.transform( inXML, new SAXResult( driver.getContentHandler())); ) It works well, but it works slow. It takes about 5 minutes for 1,000 rows and this is only for transformer translation (excluing any data query time or jdom XML building time) I read through past emails/FAQs and I think I tried them all and it still does not improve the performance...

(even if I break them into multiple page-sequences, I will still have to read through one row at a time, right? - that's why performance is not really improving..) 7) no forward-reference - I don't have any page numbers 8) try with new JDK - trying with JDK 1.3 9) seralize servlet request - haven't done this, but I doubt this will have any performance impact (I'm testing with one request for now) 10) no images - I don't have any... 11) Don't make the XML tree too deep - mine is very flat with 2 levels deep.

AW: Call upon FOP within a c++ application
Hello! I'd prefer CORBA. It's more robust than sending a http request and easier to support. CORBA is also supported in the current jdk. For the C++ side, take a look at the ACE / TAO project. It's an open source orb and available for many platforms. Using CORBA also enables you to have a bidirectinal communication between the fop process and the client application. You can send the logger output to the client to show the state of the current fop processing ( page number, and so on ). It works for us and is already in use by some of our real world applications. Hope this helps. PS : You could set up a FOP - Server , a process that waits for CORBA requests and generates PDF or PCL output. This would also increase performance, since the java vm would not be loaded every request.

AW : Fop OKI Matrix Printing
Hello FOP-Folks! After a few sleepless hours of work and pain, i created a FOP renderer wich supports the native instruction set of the EPSON emulation of my OKI matrix printer. It's more than a prototype than anything else at the moment, but i keep on working on it and maybe someday It currently supports only one font and normal font positioning. The next version will also support bold printing, underlining and so on. In fact i extended the printrenderer class and overwrote some methods to handle a limmited set of the printrenderer functionality. If anyone is interrested in my experience creating this renderer, let me know. Maybe we can make a deal... :-) Keep on coding Mirko Sertic

Hi there again! Thanks for your help. I think you are right and my extremly long page sequences are the matter. In fact, i have only one page-sequence. The problem is, i cannot create multiple page sequences because i do not know where to break my pages. Every table-row in my document is unique and so i do not know where to break.

Mai 2002 16:49 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: Re: Memory usage on lage documents Mirko, there are many post on this list that point out the weaknesses of the FOP engine. The main enemies are : long page sequence and forward references. If you use long tables, then you most certainly have long page sequences. If you have logical page break in your tables, please, change your XSLT code to generate page-sequence break in your tables. The shortest page sequence the least memory used. As for the lot of time to complete the work, it appear that forward reference may be responsible for this. I hav had the same proble for 400 to 1000 pages documents that have the famous total number of pages at the bottom of every pages. I have successfully set up an unclean workaround : I generate my total number of pages after PDF generation is complete using iText software. I even generate my toc at the end of the fo file and then I move it at the top of the document and then write the number of pages at the right place on every pages. This is pretty simple if you look at iText sample code (itext.sourceforge.net). The last thing : C++ or C or ASM formatter won't help much because it is the global design that makes FOP slow and memory consumer. The redesign is on it's way. The workarounds I have mentionned are just gizmo to allow one to wait for the next generation of FOP. Hope that helps, Cyril At 16:29 06/05/2002 +0200, you wrote: Hi there folks!
